Ortofon CC MKII DIGITAL

Core Performance Features

• Optimized High-Output Design (10 mV): Generates an industry-leading 10 mV output voltage, providing DVS audio interfaces and DJ mixer soundcards with a clean, powerful timecode signal that significantly cuts down on digital tracking glitches and misreads.

• Preserves Timecode Control Vinyl: The diamond and suspension profile are tuned to sit cleanly in control record microgrooves, reducing surface wear and tear on expensive or limited-edition timecode discs during heavy backcueing and repetitive cue points.

• Direct SME Tonearm Mounting: The integrated one-piece Concorde body screws straight into any standard S-shaped SME-bayonet tonearm, completely eliminating headshell leads, mounting screws, and alignment protractors.

• High Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Maximizes incoming signal level to drastically suppress background noise floor and stage hum from interfering with software pitch detection and scratch latency.

• Durable Spherical Diamond: Features a precision spherical diamond tip that provides balanced groove contact, ensuring stable tracking during quick cuts, backspins, and fast cueing.

• Ergonomic Replaceable Finger Lift: Outfitted with Ortofon's broad, textured, red finger lift for confident manual handling in low-light club environments, easily replaced if damaged during travel.
