The Ortofon Concorde Music Black LVB 250 cartridge is designed for direct mounting in to an SME style tonearm, and is a new introduction for 2024. The Concorde Music LVB 250 is the flagship of the Concorde Music series of direct mounting cartridges, as a result of the nude Shibata diamond on a high-quality boron cantilever. The result is a sound performance similar to a more expensive moving coil design. This is true high-end excellence.

The Concorde Black LVB 250 delivers a sound so precise and so detailed that you feel like you have let the artist into your house and have them playing right in your living room, redefining what is possible from a moving magnet (MM) cartridge.

The Concorde Black enables the listener hear every little detail in the music from every part of the spectrum. There are five models in the Concorde Music range, which are available to view on our website.
