Description
Description
The Concorde 5E delivers a refined and detailed listening experience, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate high-fidelity sound.
Inspired by the classic Concorde Mk1 and built with everyday music lovers in mind, the Ortofon Concorde 5E offers a fuss-free upgrade to your vinyl setup. With its iconic integrated headshell design and no-tool installation, it’s ready to slot straight onto your turntable’s tonearm - no fiddling required.
But the 5E isn’t just about convenience. Its elliptical diamond stylus digs a little deeper into the groove than a conical tip, uncovering subtle details and textures that bring your records to life. Expect a balanced, natural sound with plenty of clarity - ideal for listeners who want a more refined experience without going full hi-fi obsessive.
Equipped with an elliptical diamond stylus, it ensures premium groove contact, reduces distortion, and reveals fine nuances in your records.
Whether you’re rediscovering old favourites or diving into new pressings, the Concorde 5E delivers smooth tracking, reduced distortion, and just the right amount of sonic sparkle.
