Styli also come in various shapes. A spherical stylus like the Concorde MkII SCRATCH picks up less surface noise than other shapes, but with inferior frequency response, higher distortion, and inferior phase response. An elliptical stylus delivers superior audio performance but wears down faster than a spherical one. Many of the DJs here at Sweetwater prefer a spherical stylus for heavy back-cueing and scratching, but for high-fidelity listening and archiving, an elliptical is the way to go.Ortofon Concorde MkII SCRATCH Features: Offers turntablists and scratching DJs new levels of performance Extra-durable spherical stylus preserves more of your record's groove during heavy back-cueing and scratching Unprecedented tracking ability — traces every groove of your record with supreme accuracy 10mV output voltage is tailor-made for extra-low frequencies Supplies solid bass and energetic sound reproduction SpecificationDetail Type Cartridge with Stylus Compatibility SME Tonearm Mount, Stylus SCRATCH Color White Dimensions 0.7 mil Weight 18.5 g each Cartridge Type Moving Magnet Stylus Shape Spherical Quantity Single Additional Features Frequency Response: 20Hz-18kHz, Output Voltage: 10.0 mV RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
