Spherical Diamond Stylus: The spherical diamond supports the groove contact required for scratching and back-cueing. Ortofon specifically designed the Scratch cartridge around these demanding DJ techniques, helping turntablists maintain consistent groove tracking during performance.

Exceptional Tracking Ability: The cartridge achieves 120 μm tracking ability at 315 Hz, providing strong groove tracing for demanding scratch routines. This performance helps the stylus maintain contact while DJs manipulate records during back-cueing and scratching.

Powerful 10 mV Output: The 10 mV output produces a powerful and energetic signal that suits scratch-focused DJ performance. Additionally, the high output supports strong bass reproduction and extended highs across different musical styles.

Aluminium Cantilever: The aluminium cantilever provides a stable structure between the cartridge body and spherical diamond. This construction supports controlled stylus movement while maintaining reliable groove contact during demanding vinyl manipulation.

Scratch-Focused Design: Ortofon specifically developed the Concorde Scratch for scratching and back-cueing applications. Therefore, its tracking characteristics and spherical stylus support DJs who regularly perform turntablism techniques.

Dual-Cartridge Flight Case: The Twin package includes two Concorde MKII Scratch cartridges with preinstalled styli. Ortofon houses both cartridges inside a Flight case, providing convenient storage and transportation for DJs.

Replacement Stylus Availability: The cartridge accepts the dedicated Stylus CC MKII Scratch replacement stylus. This allows users to replace the stylus while maintaining the intended cartridge and stylus combination specified by Ortofon.
