Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I replace my stylus? For professional DJ use, Ortofon typically recommends replacing your stylus every 500 to 1,000 hours of play, or sooner if you notice a loss in high-frequency detail or an increase in sibilance (hissing).
Will this stylus fit the older "Standard" or "Pro" Concorde models? The MKII series styli are specifically designed for the MKII cartridge bodies. While they may physically fit older models, the internal geometry is optimized for the MKII series to ensure the best possible sound and tracking performance.
Is this stylus good for scratching? The MIX is an "all-rounder" and handles basic scratching and back-cueing very well. If you are a dedicated turntablist performing advanced scratch routines, you might also consider the Stylus MKII SCRATCH for even higher tracking force.
