Ortofon VNL Dance High-Output Pro DJ Cartridge & Stylus Needle

Ortofon just leveled up with the all-new VNL TRIX and VNL DANCE, the latest additions to the iconic VNL series. Built tough, tuned for performance, and ready for the stage. The VNL TRIX and VNL DANCE cartridges are engineered for DJs who demand both power and precision. 

With its elliptical stylus, VNL DANCE pulls more information from the groove - delivering sharper details and fuller sound compared to VNL TRIX. Built to take a beating, VNL DANCE features a rigid aluminum cantilever with Ortofon's exclusive rubber suspension for stability under pressure. Premium tracking keeps the needle locked for professional use, and the neon-yellow fluorescent stylus glows under UV light.

Loud. Clean. Powerful.

Pumping a massive 10 mV output, the VNL DANCE deliver raw volume and crystal clarity to any rig, from underground raves to big-room stages. Louder than ever before, it brings pure energy to the system.

Rock-Solid Tracking

Thanks to its 100 um trackability, the VNL DANCE resists skips and holds the groove under aggressive techniques like scratching and back-cueing. Expect reliable performance in clubs and on tour, with clean, consistent playback!

Find your mark, even in the dark!

VNL DANCE features a neon-yellow fluorescent stylus that glows under UV light, making cueing faster while adding standout style to your setup. Its elliptical diamond traces the groove more precisely than the spherical shape used on VNL TRIX, delivering sharper detail and fuller sound.

Interchangeable Stylus

Ortofon Concorde MKII Elite Pro DJ Cartridge & Stylus (single)

The Concorde ELITE is a premium Moving Magnet cartridge, based on the legacy of the Ortofon Concorde MkII Series. Owing to the number of components' upgrades, the ELITE achieves a new level of sound quality, not previously found in the DJ categorized cartridges.

Features

Created with passion, high technology, and close attention to detail, every feature of the Concorde ELITE brings you a limitless experience with the music you love.

The Concorde Elite features a new, special-molded stylus body with real gold plating, which adds luxury to the famous Concorde design. Encased by the gold is a Nude Elliptical diamond mounted on a rigid Aluminum cantilever. The Nude Elliptical diamond stylus, normally used in HiFi cartridges, delivers a sound so powerful and detailed, that you will experience a remarkable level of live performance. The addition of a Nude Elliptical diamond allows a smaller moving mass, which guarantees an improved and detailed sound quality. The slim profile of the Nude Elliptical diamond makes it able to follow the groove oscillations more accurately, extract more intricate details and track even the highest frequency information.

NB: Nude Elliptical stylus is for listening, not for heavy back-cueing and scratching. 

The Cantilever and Coil System

The cantilever needs to accommodate the perfect compromise between lightweight and high strength, which requires great ingenuity in the design, as well as the choice of the materials.

The properties of the Rigid 750 um Aluminum-Magnesium cantilever, exclusively developed for the Concorde ELITE, ensure that the stylus picks up the groove vibrations with a stable and accurate trace performance and provides the ideal interface between the stylus and armature.

In the armature, you'll find a specially developed Coil System transmitting the diamond's movements to deliver an optimized output. The unique Coil System provides the ELITE with a powerful, full-bodied sound of high quality and high output.

Rubber suspension

To ensure superior tracking performance, a new Rubber Suspension has been developed. The new rubber compound formula has been developed uniquely for the Concorde ELITE to attain the desired characteristics for an extraordinary performance of the cartridge. The richer, fuller sound conveys the music in the most lifelike manner while paying close attention to damping of excess brightness.

Musically, the Concorde ELITE exceeds the scale of the Concorde Series!
