Technical details of the Ortofon Concorde Music Red

With an output voltage of 6 mV, the Concorde Music Red delivers a powerful, clear signal - ideal for phono preamps and integrated phono inputs. The channel balance at 1 kHz is 1.5 dB, which enables a clean, centered stereo image.

The channel separation is 22 dB at 1 kHz and 15 dB at 15 kHz - a value that ensures clear spatial imaging. The frequency response covers the entire audible range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with a tolerance of +3 / -1 dB, which speaks for a balanced and natural sound reproduction.

A particular highlight is the scanning capability of 80 µm at 315 Hz and recommended tracking force - a value that ensures precise tracking and minimal distortion even in complex passages. The dynamic lateral compliance is 15 µm/mN - a good average value that optimally combines sound quality and record protection.

The stylus diamond is an elliptically cut diamond that sits on an aluminum stylus carrier. This design - with a stylus tip radius of r/R 8/18 µm - offers excellent groove tracking and also reveals fine details in the music.

The recommended tracking force is 1.8 g, the tracking angle is 20°, both ideally matched to a wide range of tonearms. With a cartridge weight of 18 g, the Concorde Music Red fits all common systems with SME connection without any problems - and without any tools.

The recommended load resistance is 47 kΩ, the recommended load capacitance is 150-300 pF - both standard values for high-quality hi-fi components. This makes the cartridge maximally compatible and delivers a consistently strong performance in a wide variety of setups.
