Versatile DJ Performance: The Ortofon CC MKII MIX supports general-purpose DJ applications, including mixing, scratching, and back-cueing. Its design combines dependable handling with durability, making it suitable for DJs who regularly move between different performance techniques.

Spherical Diamond Stylus: The spherical diamond stylus uses an R 18 μm tip radius for reliable groove contact. This design supports the MIX’s intended scratch and back-cueing applications while maintaining consistent performance during regular vinyl playback.

Durable Aluminium Cantilever: The aluminium cantilever provides a solid connection between the cartridge body and spherical diamond stylus. This construction supports the stylus during repeated movements while helping the cartridge maintain dependable performance during demanding DJ sessions.

Transparent Sound: The MIX delivers transparent sound across the sonic spectrum, helping DJs monitor their records clearly during performances. Its 20 dB channel separation at 1 kHz also supports defined stereo reproduction from compatible DJ equipment.

Flexible Tracking Force: The cartridge supports a tracking force range from 2–4 g, giving DJs flexibility when configuring their turntable. Ortofon recommends a 3 g tracking force for the MIX, providing a clear starting point for setup.

Practical Compliance: The cartridge provides 14 μm/mN dynamic lateral compliance, supporting the stylus and cantilever as they follow record grooves. This characteristic contributes to the cartridge’s tracking behaviour during normal DJ playback and performance.

Concorde Mounting Design: The Concorde format attaches directly to compatible tonearms without requiring a separate headshell. Ortofon lists the Concorde MKII series with a bayonet/SME mounting type, providing a straightforward connection for compatible DJ turntables.

Replaceable MIX Stylus: When the stylus requires replacement, the cartridge uses the dedicated Stylus CC MKII Mix. Ortofon also specifies that Concorde MKI and MKII styli are physically different and should not be interchanged.

All-Round DJ Solution: The MIX combines its spherical stylus, aluminium cantilever, 6 mV output, and 100 μm tracking ability into one general-purpose cartridge. Consequently, DJs can use one cartridge across mixing, scratching, back-cueing, and everyday vinyl performance.
