Ortofon Concorde MKII DJ Twin (DJ Set, 2×)

The Ortofon Concorde MKII DJ Twin is a set of two DJ cartridges from the DJ line, supplied with pre-mounted styli in a sturdy flight case for two-deck use.

Two decks, two identical systems, one case – so both turntables sound exactly the same, and you keep a few francs in your pocket compared with two separate purchases. The DJ is the precise all-rounder of the range; as a pair it becomes the clean foundation for your whole setup.

Why the Concorde MKII DJ Twin?

Because the DJ's stiffer-tuned cantilever tracks a touch more precisely than the Mix – at the same 6 mV and spherical stylus, but with noticeably lower record wear. Two of the same system means both decks sound identical, no re-adjusting from one deck to the other. The included flight case keeps the systems safe between gigs, and the MKII generation's removable finger lift is on board twice over – if one snaps off, you replace it instead of writing off the whole system.

What you get

Two complete Concorde DJ systems with pre-mounted styli plus a transport flight case. Click them on, set the tracking force to around 3 g, and both turntables perform identically – accurate, balanced, with the forgiving groove handling the DJ line is known for.

Who is the DJ Twin suited for?

For club and mobile DJs with two turntables who play across every style and want a reliable, record-friendly all-rounder in duplicate. Straight talk: if you're only running one deck, get the cheaper Single. And if you scratch hard, you're better served by the Scratch Twin – the DJ is the balanced all-rounder, not a turntablism specialist.

Our verdict

The pragmatic double pack for anyone who wants to equip two decks equally and gently: identical sound, protected in a case, slightly cheaper than two separate units. A solid choice for a two-deck setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the Concorde MKII DJ Twin?

Two complete Concorde DJ systems with styli already mounted, plus a flight case for transport and storage. You don't need to buy anything separately – both turntables are ready to play instantly and sound identical thanks to matching systems. Click them on, set the tracking force to around 3 g, and the set is up and running.

Is the Twin set worth it over two single DJ units?

If you're running two decks: yes. You get two guaranteed matching systems, the protective flight case, and pay a little less than for two individual packs. If you only have one turntable, the Single is the more sensible and cheaper choice.
