Reloop Concorde Blue - DJ scratch cartridge
The Concorde Blue is a reliable, all-round DJ cartridge optimised for scratching, made by the experts at Ortofon. A moving magnet design with a reinforced cantilever and spherical diamond stylus, it delivers higher output than the Black and a smooth, confident tracking feel - ready to stand up to whatever your set throws at it.
Staff take: the expert verdict
The Concorde Blue is our pick for DJs who scratch and want more output than the entry-level Black. That higher 6 mV output means you cut through on any system, and the reinforced cantilever with spherical stylus gives it the toughness and tracking stability that scratch DJs lean on. Like all the Concordes it bolts straight onto an SME-style arm, so setup is instant. A dependable all-rounder that leans towards the turntablist.
Why choose the Reloop Concorde Blue?
● Made by Ortofon - built by the cartridge experts at Ortofon A/S for proven quality.
● Optimised for scratching - a reinforced cantilever and spherical stylus suit both mix and scratch DJs.

● Strong tracking ability - high tracking ability that feels smooth and comfortable when set up properly.

Who is the Reloop Concorde Blue for?
The Concorde Blue is built for mix and scratch DJs who want higher output and robust tracking without stepping up to a timecode or elliptical cartridge. It suits turntablists and club DJs who need a confident, record-friendly all-rounder.
