Frequently asked questions
| Question: | Which cartridge system is compatible with the Ortofon DJ MKII stylus? |
| Answer: | This replacement stylus is designed for the Ortofon Concorde MKII DJ cartridge system. The exact model designation of the existing cartridge should be checked before purchase, as older Concorde generations and other Ortofon ranges may use a different construction. |
| Question: | Which DJ applications is the DJ MKII stylus suitable for? |
| Answer: | The stylus is suitable for conventional mixing, back-cueing and scratching. Its spherical diamond profile supports dependable groove tracking during forward and backward movements. This makes it suitable for club performances as well as practice at home. |
| Question: | Which tracking force is recommended? |
| Answer: | The adjustable tracking-force range is 3 to 5 g, with 4 g recommended. Correct adjustment improves tracking reliability and helps prevent unnecessary stress on the stylus and records. The tonearm balance and anti-skating setting should also be adjusted appropriately. |
| Question: | Which sound and tracking characteristics does the stylus provide? |
| Answer: | When combined with the matching Concorde MKII DJ cartridge, the stylus is designed to deliver a balanced, powerful DJ sound and stable tracking. Its spherical profile has an 18 µm radius. The cartridge system provides an output level of 6 mV, although the final sound also depends on the turntable, mixer and phono preamplifier. |
| Question: | What is included, and how is the stylus replaced? |
| Answer: | The package contains one blue Ortofon DJ MKII replacement stylus. A complete cartridge and headshell are not included. On a compatible system, the existing stylus assembly is carefully removed and the replacement is inserted by hand until it is seated securely. |
