Concorde MKII Twin Mix

Two cartridges, one flight case, zero worries

The Ortofon Concorde MKII Twin Mix gives you two complete Mix cartridges, each with a factory-fitted spherical stylus, packed in a rugged aluminium flight case. Equip both decks with identical, matched cartridges – or keep one as an instant backup for gigs where failure is not an option.

Just click it on and start mixing

Thanks to the integrated headshell design there is no alignment, no screws and no wiring. Each cartridge twists straight onto any standard S-shaped tonearm with a bayonet (SME) connector, and you are ready to play in seconds.

A true all-rounder

The Mix is a general-purpose model built for mixing, scratching and back-cueing alike. Its spherical diamond stylus and solid aluminium cantilever deliver transparent sound across the whole spectrum, reliable groove handling and a clean, balanced 6 mV output – the longest-running value formula in DJ cartridges.

Who is the Twin Mix for?

DJs who play on two turntables and want identical sound on both decks, and working DJs who always carry a spare. The included flight case keeps both cartridges protected between gigs, making this set the practical, cost-effective way to outfit a full booth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why buy a twin set instead of two singles? The twin set includes a protective aluminium flight case and is priced more attractively than two individual cartridges – ideal for two-deck setups or carrying a backup.

Do I need to align or adjust these cartridges? No. Both cartridges arrive with factory-fitted styli. Simply twist them onto standard S-shaped tonearms with bayonet (SME) connectors and set the recommended 3 g tracking force.

Which turntables are they compatible with? All DJ turntables with a removable headshell and standard bayonet/SME connector – Technics, Pioneer PLX, Audio-Technica LP120 series, Reloop and many more.

Can I replace the styli? Yes. Each stylus can be swapped in seconds with a new Stylus CC MKII Mix – no tools, no realignment.
