Concorde MKII Twin Scratch
Maximum scratch performance
ABOUT THE CARTRIDGE SET
Battle-ready on both decks
The Ortofon Concorde MKII Twin Scratch includes two Scratch cartridges with pre-installed styli in a rugged aluminium flight case. Matched cartridges mean identical response on both turntables – essential for routines that move seamlessly between decks.
Maximum scratch performance, doubled
Each cartridge delivers class-leading 120 μm tracking ability and an extra-high 10 mV output, staying locked in the groove through the most aggressive chirps, transforms and crabs while pumping out solid bass and extended highs.
Gentle where it counts
The spherical styli preserve more of the groove during back-cueing and scratching, protecting your battle records through endless practice. The integrated-headshell Concorde design clicks straight onto any bayonet (SME) tonearm – no alignment needed.
Who is the Twin Scratch for?
Battle DJs and turntablists who practice and perform on two decks, and anyone who wants a ready spare for competitions where a worn stylus cannot be allowed to end a routine.
