Designed for Scratching: The STYLUS SCRATCH is specifically designed for scratching and back-cueing, providing the tracking performance needed for demanding DJ techniques.

Reinforced Rubber Suspension: The reinforced suspension supports reliable performance when DJs apply higher tracking forces during intensive scratch and back-cueing sessions.

High Tracking Ability: With 80 μm tracking ability at 315 Hz, the Scratch provides dependable groove handling during demanding turntable performance.

Spherical Stylus Profile: The R 18 μm spherical stylus maintains reliable groove contact and suits the movements associated with scratching and back-cueing.

High 7 mV Output: The stylus delivers 7 mV output at 1 kHz and 5 cm/sec, providing strong signal output for DJ applications.

Energetic Sound Reproduction: The Scratch produces solid bass reproduction and extended highs, creating an energetic sound suitable for a wide range of music styles.

Durable Performance: The reinforced construction helps protect stylus performance and longevity when DJs work with higher tracking forces.

Flexible Tracking Force: The stylus supports 3.0–5.0 g tracking force, with 4.0 g recommended for reliable tracking and consistent performance.

Concorde Scratch Compatibility: The STYLUS SCRATCH is designed as the replacement stylus for the Concorde Scratch MkII cartridge. Ortofon lists the replacement stylus unit as Scratch.
