Ortofon - Precision from Denmark
Ortofon is a Danish manufacturer with over 100 years of experience in the development of cartridges and audio accessories. The company has a worldwide reputation for precision, innovation and uncompromising quality. The Concorde series is particularly well known among DJs and hi-fi enthusiasts - not least because of its unmistakable design and intuitive handling.
The Concorde 5E is part of a product line that is characterized by the highest sound quality and ease of use. For Ortofon, every detail is important - from the diamond shape to the coil wire material. The result: products that meet even the highest audiophile demands.
Technical details of the Ortofon Concorde 5E
The Concorde 5E offers a wide range of technical features that underline its exceptional performance. With an output voltage of 4 mV at 1 kHz, the cartridge delivers a strong, clear signal - ideal for connection to phono preamps or integrated phono inputs.
The channel balance is less than 2 dB, which guarantees a balanced stereo image. The channel separation at 1 kHz is more than 20 dB - an excellent value that enables a clear separation of left and right and more spatial depth.
The frequency response ranges from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with a tolerance of ±3 dB. This means that both deep bass and fine treble are transmitted in full bandwidth. The dynamic lateral compliance is 20 µm/mN, which indicates sensitive, precise tracking - even with complex musical passages.
The scanning diamond used is elliptically cut (elliptical diamond) and has rounding radii of r/R 8/18 µm. This shape enables better adaptation to the groove structure of the record and thus ensures improved resolution of fine details.
The recommended tracking force is 1.8 grams - a value that stands for both optimum tracking and protection of your record collection. The DC resistance is 750 ohms and the recommended load resistance is 47 kOhms - both standard values for modern hi-fi systems.
Another quality feature: the coil wire is made of OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper), a material known for its excellent conductivity and durability. The cartridge housing is finished in classic black and blends elegantly into any setup.
With a weight of 18.5 grams, the Concorde 5E is perfectly balanced and can be easily mounted on all common tonearms - without any tools.
Why the Ortofon Concorde 5E is the perfect choice for vinyl enthusiasts
The Concorde 5E is aimed at music lovers who value a natural, balanced sound. Unlike many DJ systems or entry-level cartridges, it offers a refined listening experience with a high level of detail. The elliptical stylus ensures precise groove contact, resulting in a clearer, less distorted sound - even in complex pieces of music.
The tool-free assembly makes it particularly easy to enter the world of hi-fi vinyl listening. No screws, no soldering - just attach it to the tonearm and get started. This makes the cartridge suitable for both experienced listeners and beginners who want to get the best sound out of their record collection.
Thanks to the high-quality materials and careful workmanship, the Concorde 5E is also particularly durable. With it, you are investing in a product that will provide you with a stable, high-quality sound for many years to come - no matter which music genre you prefer.
