In 1979 the Concorde looked radically different to any cartridge that had been manufactured by Ortofon or any of its rivals up to then. However, the initial inspirations for its development were the search for a design of\u00a0an integrated cartridge and headshell that could be easily mounted on a tone arm\u00a0<\/strong>without the need for screws or the plugging in of wires.<\/p>\n Award-winning industrial designer Jan Tr\u00e4g\u00e5rdh conceived the Concorde\u2019s unique look and received\u00a0the Danish Industrial Design Award in 1979<\/strong>\u00a0for his work on the low mass Concorde. Concorde has undergone continual re-modelling ever since as it has evolved from its original purpose as a domestic hi-fi pick up to its now revered status as a cartridge for club DJs. The Concorde performs well, is remarkably robust and, most importantly, resolutely stays in the groove.<\/p>\n The arrival of the Concorde and its subsequent establishment as a very popular cartridge was the result of Ortofon\u2019s very strong focus on product development in the laboratories in Copenhagen, brilliant engineers led the department.<\/p>\n Having celebrated many of previous anniversaries by launching innovative products, naturally, the centennial 2018 year called for some grand designs and the relaunch of the cartridge that is emblematic of Ortofon\u2019s pioneering approach to design \u2013 the Concorde.\u00a0With a tip of the hat to the Concorde\u2019s origins, Ortofon released in a\u00a0limited edition of 1.000<\/strong>\u00a0a Hi-Fi Concorde version the CONCORDE CENTURY.<\/p>\n The CONCORDE CENTURY\u00a0uses a\u00a0silver-plated copper wire<\/strong>\u00a0and a\u00a0Nude Fine Line diamond<\/strong>\u00a0stylus, which slim profile will track even the highest frequency information. Additionally, its larger footprint ensures reduced distortion and record wear. The CONCORDE CENTURY\u00a0has a full, relaxed and homogenous sound with space, depth and detail<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 a very good choice for any kind of music.<\/p>\n The\u00a0CONCORDE CENTURY is\u00a0f<\/strong>or direct and easy mounting and replacement on S-shaped tonearms<\/strong>\u00a0with universal\/SME connector.<\/p>\n Output voltage at 1000 Hz, 5cm\/sec.\u00a0 –\u00a0 5.5 mV Internal impedance, DC resistance\u00a0 –\u00a0 1,2 kOhm CONCORDE CENTURY A CONCORDE STORY began in 1979 In 1979 the Concorde looked radically different to any cartridge that had been manufactured by Ortofon or…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":103180,"template":"","meta":[],"pwb-brand":[445],"product_cat":[469,10846],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-103179","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"pwb-brand-ortofon","7":"product_cat-vinyl-guide-mm-cartridge","8":"product_cat-ortofon-mm-cartridge","9":"product_shipping_class-a-class","11":"first","12":"outofstock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"aioseo_notices":[],"etheme_brands":{"errors":{"invalid_taxonomy":["Invalid taxonomy."]},"error_data":[]},"brands":[{"id":445,"name":"ORTOFON","slug":"ortofon"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/103179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/103179\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":126218,"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/103179\/revisions\/126218"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"pwb-brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pwb-brand?post=103179"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=103179"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=103179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Ortofon iconic cartridge<\/h2>\n
