The Ortofon Concorde first appeared in 1979 with the introduction of the Concorde 20 and 30. This groundbreaking, cutting edge design won Ortofon the Danish Industrial Design Award, for its low mass integrated cartridge and headshell configuration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince the early 1980s, the Concorde gained popularity among professional DJs and radio broadcasters for its compact profile yet high sound quality. The shape and size of the Concorde reduced the chance of the cartridge being knocked whilst in use; perfect for DJs and radio hosts changing records often or turntablists performing scratching. Throughout the Concorde’s existence it has been upgraded and many different versions of styli precision engineered for specific purposes have been produced.
