Precision Level

Musically, the Concorde ELITE surpasses the entire Concorde Series!

Nude Elliptical Diamond Stylus
Encased in gold, the Concorde ELITE features a Nude Elliptical diamond stylus mounted on a rigid aluminum cantilever. Commonly used in HiFi cartridges, the Nude Elliptical diamond provides sound so powerful and detailed that it delivers a near live-performance experience. This diamond's smaller moving mass guarantees enhanced sound detail and precision.

The slim profile of the Nude Elliptical diamond allows it to follow groove oscillations with greater accuracy, capturing intricate details and even the highest frequency information. Note: The Nude Elliptical stylus is designed for listening—not for heavy back-cueing or scratching.

High Output, Outstanding Performance

Output
Inside the armature lies a specially developed Coil System that transmits the diamond’s movements to deliver optimized output. This unique Coil System gives the ELITE a powerful, full-bodied sound with high quality and output.

Built to Last

Cartridge Body
The Concorde ELITE features a specially molded stylus body with genuine gold plating, adding luxury to the iconic Concorde design.

Superior Tracking

Rubber Suspension
To ensure superior tracking, a new rubber suspension has been developed specifically for the Concorde ELITE. This rubber compound was uniquely formulated to deliver exceptional performance and produce a rich, full sound that conveys music in its most lifelike form, with minimized excess brightness.

Exclusively Developed

Cantilever
The cantilever and coil system strike an ideal balance between light weight and high strength, requiring precise design and material selection. The rigid 750 µm aluminum-magnesium cantilever, exclusively developed for the Concorde ELITE, ensures the stylus picks up groove vibrations with a stable, accurate trace, providing an optimal interface between the stylus and armature.
