Ortofon Concorde Stylus MKII Mix (Replacement Stylus)

The Ortofon Concorde Stylus MKII Mix is the original replacement stylus for the DJ cartridge Ortofon Concorde MKII Mix – the complete stylus unit that clips onto the Concorde body in seconds.

Old stylus off, new one on – no tools, no body swap.

Why the Stylus MKII Mix?

The Mix is the uncomplicated all-round stylus of the MKII series: spherical profile (R 18 µm), strong output voltage and robust tracking for back-cueing and everyday DJ work. It delivers transparent sound across the whole spectrum and is among the most durable DJ styli. Ideal when your old Mix stylus has had its day.

What you hear

Clean, balanced sound without fuss. The spherical profile holds the groove securely and forgives well-worn records – stability and drive rather than audiophile finesse. Exactly right for mixing and cueing.

Who is the Stylus MKII Mix for?

For DJs who need an affordable, robust and instantly click-on replacement stylus for their Concorde MKII Mix. Plain talk: for fine HiFi listening, the spherical profile lacks the last bit of resolution – that's what the Music series is for. It doesn't fit other MKII models.

Our verdict

The uncomplicated replacement stylus for the Concorde MKII Mix: spherical, robust, ready to go. Swap the wear part instead of buying a new system – as it should be.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Stylus MKII Mix fit my Concorde?

The MKII Mix is made for the Concorde MKII Mix and clicks onto its matching body. It doesn't fit the Music series (Red to Black LVB 250) or other MKII models – those have their own stylus units. If in doubt, just ask, we'll check it for you.

Is the Stylus MKII Mix a complete stylus or just the diamond?

A complete stylus unit. With the Concorde system, the whole stylus unit with diamond and cantilever sits at the front of the body and is replaced as a whole – no gluing in individual diamonds, no tools needed.

When should I replace the stylus?

As soon as the sound gets duller, distortion becomes audible, or the stylus is visibly worn. Depending on use, a DJ stylus lasts a few hundred hours. A worn stylus sounds worse and can damage your records – when in doubt, replace it sooner rather than later.

Why buy the Stylus MKII Mix at HD Zürisee?

Because we've had DJ gear in store for decades and can tell you whether a new stylus is enough or a different profile makes more sense. You get the original from Ortofon, with fair advice from Andy and Mauri in Wädenswil – no guesswork on a wear part.
