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

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

Two identical Scratch systems, one case: for battle and turntablism setups where both decks need to perform equally hard – and you save a little compared with two separate purchases.

Why the Concorde MKII Scratch Twin?

Because hard turntablism demands two equally matched systems: the same firm groove grip, the same 10 mV, the same behaviour on both decks. The included flight case protects the styli between gigs, and the MKII generation's removable finger lift is on board twice over. That keeps your setup reliable, even when things get rough on the deck.

What you get

Two complete Concorde Scratch systems with pre-mounted styli plus a transport flight case. Both decks deliver the same energetic sound with firm groove grip – without you having to hunt down two separate packs.

Who is the Scratch Twin suited for?

For turntablists and battle DJs with two turntables who need uncompromising groove grip on both decks. Straight talk: if you only scratch on one deck, get the Single. And if you mostly mix rather than scratch, the DJ Twin serves you better and more affordably.

Our verdict

The uncompromising double pack for turntablism: two matching systems with high output and firm groove grip, protected in a case. If you work hard on two decks, this is the one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the Concorde MKII Scratch Twin?

Two complete Concorde Scratch systems with styli already mounted, plus a flight case. Both turntables are ready to play instantly and behave identically thanks to matching systems – no re-adjusting from deck to deck. Just set the slightly higher tracking force of around 4 g and you can get straight to hard work.

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

If you're running two decks for scratching: yes. You get two guaranteed matching systems, the protective flight case, and pay a little less than for two individual packs. For just one deck, the Single is the cheaper choice.
