    Satisfy Your Sensual Side with Blue's Nude Elliptical Diamond

    So much cartridge for so little cash! It's almost scandalous. Take Blue for a spin with your favorite vinyl records and hear the details you've been missing up to now.

    Satisfy your sensual side and energize your listening sessions with unveiled and clear sound reproduction. The Concorde Music Blue features a Nude Elliptical stylus on an Aluminum cantilever.

    Blue is the next model up in the series from the entry-level Concorde Music Red and offers a significant upgrade at a highly affordable price.

    If you are new to the Concorde Music product line, consider starting with the Blue, which will take you closer to the music than you've enjoyed so far with lesser cartridges in its price class.

    Nude Elliptical Stylus

    Go nude and enjoy your musical life to the fullest. The Concorde Music Blue shamelessly boasts a Nude Elliptical stylus on an Aluminum cantilever. Nude diamonds, weighing less than their tipped counterparts, enhance responsiveness, detail, and reduce distortion.

    This is a stylus often found on far more expensive phono cartridges, but Ortofon makes such luxury easy to afford with the Blue.

    A Simple Upgrade Path

    Any Concorde Music cartridge can be directly upgraded all the way up to the flagship Concorde Music Black LVB 250. All it takes to upgrade is to replace your current stylus with a higher model Concorde Music stylus.

    Upgrading the stylus is a simple task. Simply pull off the stylus and replace it with the new one. Remember to keep the stylus guard on when installing the new stylus to keep the needle safe.

    The Concorde Music Series of Cartridges

    Developed by music lovers for music lovers, Ortofon's Concorde Music phono cartridges blend premium performance with an iconic design. Concorde Music isn't just a cartridge. It is a dedication to the profound impact music has on our lives, turning every listening session into a captivating journey.

    Installing a Concorde Music cartridge on a turntable is easy and straightforward. No tools are required and you don't have to be any kind of hi-fi expert, making the process hassle free and convenient. This is thanks to the bayonet connector, which makes it compatible with all S-shaped tonearms. The no-hassle installation, along with superior sound quality for the money, has been a huge factor in Concorde's historic success.

    Moving Forward with an Iconic Design

    Ortofon built upon a rich legacy when it launched the original Concorde cartridge. So, the new Concorde Music series possesses a storied history as one of the most famous cartridges in the world of audio.

    Originally developed as a solution to the challenge of easily mounting a quality cartridge on a tonearm without screws or wires, the Concorde's unique design earned the Danish Industrial Design Award. The cartridge soon became an icon in the audio industry.

    Rubber Suspension

    A crucially important and vital part of a phono cartridge's overall performance is the stylus suspension.

    Exclusive Ortofon rubber compounds are used for the stylus suspension in the Concorde Music Black. These are carefully produced by Ortofon's inhouse rubber production team and are the end result of long effort by the research and engineering team in its successful quest for brilliant performance.

    Advanced Coil System

    Concorde Music cartridges feature Ortofon's quad-coil generating system with four split pole pins. Silver-plated oxygen-free copper is chosen for the quad-coil system along with four Ortofon split pole pins. This results in exceptional channel balance and separation, delivering precise and dynamic sound. With a 6 mV output, this design offers lifelike sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity, capturing every detail.
