Ortofon CC MKII TWIN SCRATCH
The Ortofon Concorde MkII Twin SCRATCH is a dedicated two-cartridge turntablism package engineered specifically for battle DJs, scratch performers, and turntablist routines across two decks. Outfitted with matched Concorde MkII SCRATCH cartridges inside a protective flight case, this set pairs an ultra-high 10 mV output voltage with reinforced cantilever dampening to deliver maximum groove-tracking stability, deep bass punch, and skip resistance during high-speed cuts, juggling, and aggressive backcueing.
Core Performance Features
-
Complete Dual-Deck Battle Package: Supplies two factory-matched Concorde MkII SCRATCH cartridges complete with pre-fitted styli, ready for dual-turntable setups out of the box.
-
Protective Aluminum Flight Case: Delivered inside a foam-padded aluminum hard case with a secure latch, safeguarding styli and cantilevers against impact during travel between battles and club gigs.
-
Massive 10 mV Output Level: Pumps out an ultra-hot 10 mV signal designed to drive phono preamps hard, delivering maximum dynamic impact, punchy low frequencies, and exceptional signal-to-noise ratio.
-
Maximum Scratch Tracking Ability: Outfitted with an extra-stiff, reinforced cantilever suspension tuned to resist skipping during rigorous scratching, fast backcueing, and heavy finger manipulation.
-
Low-Wear Spherical Diamond: Features a precision spherical diamond tip that rides higher in the groove microgeometry, significantly minimizing vinyl burn and groove wear on real wax and timecode control vinyl.
-
Direct SME Tonearm Mounting: The one-piece Concorde design mounts directly into standard S-shaped SME-bayonet tonearm sockets without headshells, screws, lead wires, or alignment tools.
-
Replaceable Ergonomic Finger Lift: Wide, textured finger lift provides secure tactile control and grip in dimly lit booths, engineered for quick replacement if damaged.
