FAQs
What cartridges is this stylus compatible with?
This is a replacement stylus for the Ortofon Nightclub E Concorde and Ortofon Nightclub E OM cartridges.
What is the recommended tracking force?
The recommended tracking force is 3 grams, with an acceptable range of 2 to 5 grams.
Why is the stylus fluorescent yellow?
The fluorescent yellow color is designed to improve visibility, making it easier for DJs to cue records accurately in low-light club settings.
How do I clean the stylus?
Use a dedicated stylus brush and gently brush from the back of the stylus to the front. Avoid touching the stylus tip with your fingers.
Can I use this stylus with any Ortofon cartridge?
No, this stylus is specifically designed for the Ortofon Nightclub E Concorde and Ortofon Nightclub E OM cartridges. It will not fit other Ortofon models.
What does 'Elliptical' stylus type mean?
An elliptical stylus has a more refined shape than a conical stylus, allowing it to trace more detail from the record groove, resulting in improved sound quality and reduced record wear.
How does this stylus perform in terms of channel separation?
It offers good channel separation, with 23 dB at 1 kHz and 15 dB at 15 kHz, contributing to a clear stereo image.
Troubleshooting
No sound or distorted sound from one channel
Ensure the stylus is correctly and securely seated in the cartridge. Check that the cartridge is properly connected to the tonearm. Verify channel balance settings on your mixer or amplifier.
Skipping or mistracking on records
Check and adjust the tracking force to the recommended 3 grams. Ensure the turntable is level and free from vibrations. Clean the stylus tip and check records for damage or dirt.
Stylus doesn't seem visible enough in low light
While the fluorescent yellow is designed for visibility, in extremely low light conditions, use your turntable's cueing light or a small external light source if necessary for precise placement.
Premature wear on records
Verify that the tracking force is set within the recommended range (2-5g) and ideally at 3g. Ensure the anti-skate setting on your turntable is correctly calibrated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This stylus is a direct replacement for the Ortofon Nightclub E Concorde cartridges and the Ortofon Nightclub E OM cartridges. Ensure your existing cartridge is one of these models before purchasing.
Setup: Installing the stylus typically involves carefully detaching the old stylus from the cartridge body and then firmly but gently pushing the new stylus into place. Refer to the specific instructions for your Ortofon Nightclub E Concorde or OM cartridge model for detailed installation steps.
Tracking Force: The recommended tracking force is 3 grams, with an acceptable range of 2 to 5 grams. It is crucial to set the tracking force accurately using your turntable's counterweight to prevent premature record wear and ensure optimal sound quality.
Care: To maintain performance, regularly clean the stylus tip using a dedicated stylus brush. Gently brush from back to front. Avoid touching the stylus tip with your fingers. Keep your vinyl records clean, as dirt and dust can transfer to the stylus and degrade sound quality. Store your turntable and cartridges in a dust-free environment when not in use.
