Redesigned from the ground up, the DVS-ready Concorde Scratch features a more robust stylus tip with larger cutout, as well as a replaceable textured grip and handle. The Concorde Scratch cartridge delivers maximum scratch performance, offers high output, stability, and increased tracking ability. The Scratch's spherical tip is easy on your vinyl yet really holds the groove during energetic, aggressive scratching and turntablism performances. It also producing an impressive 10mV output and 20Hz–18kHz frequency response for superior sound quality with excellent low end. Easy connectivity to the tonearm makes setup quick and easy in any performance scenario.

The Concorde Scratch's cutout lets you quickly see precisely where you're putting the needle down, even in low-light conditions where DJs often find themselves working. When you're deep in the mix, cueing up your next track or sample, every second counts. You can't afford to waste time guessing where the needle is going to touch the record. Likewise, you want to see with a quick glance how far way that drop—or the end of the track—is from your needle.

Since the launch of the original Concorde cartridges more than 25 years ago, DJs have embraced the convenience, sound quality, and industrial design of the Concorde. With the launch of the Concorde MKII, Ortofon has listened to the demands of vinyl DJs of all types to develop a superior cartridge series with an unprecedented level of durability, groove holding, and sound quality.

Modern digital DJs can also take advantage of this cartridge’s superb sound quality, since the Concorde Scratch is fully compatible with digital vinyl systems including Serato and Traktor.
