ABOUT THE CARTRIDGE SET
Premium sound on every deck
The Ortofon Concorde MKII Twin Club includes two Club cartridges with pre-installed Special Elliptical stylus needles in a protective aluminum flight case. Matched cartridges ensure the same detailed, powerful sound on both turntables in your booth.
The best sound quality for vinyl playback
The Special Elliptical stylus sits deeper in the groove and has a larger contact area than a spherical diamond, allowing it to capture intricate detail, while the elevated 8 mV output reduces the need for preamp gain, resulting in a cleaner signal and a lower risk of feedback in loud live environments.
From the booth to the studio
With 25 dB channel separation, the Club excels in clubs, broadcast studios, and digitization projects alike—and the click-on Concorde design makes installation effortless on any bayonet (SME) tonearm.
Who is the Twin Club for?
Resident DJs, broadcast studios, and venues that want premium, consistent sound quality across both decks, along with a protective flight case for storage and transport.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why buy the twin set? Identical premium sound on both decks, a spare unit included, and an aluminum flight case—all at a better price than two individual units.
What is a Special Elliptical stylus? An elliptical profile that makes more contact with the grooves than a spherical tip, revealing noticeably more detail from your records.
Are they suitable for scratching? They handle mixing and back-cueing well, but for heavy scratching, choose the Scratch model—the Club is optimized for sound quality.
Can I replace the styluses? Yes—each one swaps out in seconds with a new Stylus CC MKII Club.
