The Ortofon Concorde Music Black LVB 250 is a premium phono cartridge that pays tribute to Ludwig van Beethoven in honor of his 250th birthday. This premium cartridge is designed to deliver the very best sound quality, combining advanced technologies with refined craftsmanship. The cartridge offers a superior listening experience that will appeal to music lovers and audiophiles alike.
Iconic design
The Concorde Music has a rich history and is considered one of the most iconic cartridges in the audio industry. The original design of the Concorde was intended to provide a solution for easily mounting a cartridge to a tonearm without screws or wires. This unique approach earned the Danish Industrial Design Award and established the Concorde as an icon in the audio world.
Stylus
The Concorde Music Black LVB 250 features a Nude Shibata stylus on a Boron cantilever, offering an upgrade over the Concorde Music Bronze. The Shibata stylus is characterized by a narrow and long contact surface, which is very close to the original cutting stylus. This ensures extremely accurate reproduction, low distortion and an extended frequency range. The extremely stiff and lightweight Boron cantilever contributes to remarkable transparency, speed and responsiveness.
Unique internal rubber manufacturing
.
Rubber suspension A crucial component of a phono cartridge's overall performance is the stylus's rubber suspension. Ortofon uses exclusive rubber mixtures for the stylus suspensions in the Concorde Music Blue, which are carefully produced in in-house rubber manufacturing and developed by Ortofon's research and engineering team for brilliant performance.
Precise and dynamic sound reproduction
Coil System The Concorde Music uses Ortofon's quad-coil generation system with four split pole pins. Silver-plated oxygen-free copper was chosen for the quad-coil system along with Ortofon's four split pole pins. This results in exceptional channel balance and separation, ensuring accurate and dynamic sound reproduction. With an output voltage of 6 mV, it offers lifelike sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity, capturing every detail.
Perfect fit for S-shaped tonearms
.
Compatibility Installing the Concorde Music cartridge on your turntable is simple and straightforward; no tools are required, making it user-friendly and convenient for all users. This is thanks to the bayonet connector, which is compatible with all S-shaped tonearms.
