Ortofon CCS120 (Ortofon CCS-120)
A highly sensitive cartridge with an exceedingly wide range of tracking force.
CC-S120-KIT
The Ortofon-Serato S-120 represents a completely new way of constructing and
designing cartridges. An innovative technology called asymmetric suspension
takes the cartridge performance to the next level. Its superior tracking force
ensures the S-120 stays in the groove even under extreme live performance
conditions.
In addition, its design achieves an unprecedentedly low level of record wear,
which helps protect your valuable vinyl. On top of this, the S-120 is capable of
providing a level of sound quality never thought possible from a modern DJ
cartridge.

The Ortofon/Serato S-120 Turntable Cartridge may be the world's first cartridge
to employ a technology known as Asymmetric Suspension (patent pending). Unlike
other cartridges, this new technology makes it possible for DJs to use an
exceedingly wide range of tracking force (between 1.5 to 10 grams) without any
difference in sound reproduction. Not only can DJs use this cartridge at
extremely low tracking forces to virtually eliminate record wear when playing
vinyl rarities, but the tracking force can also be increased all the way up to
as much as 10 grams to provide extreme groove handling ability for even the most
demanding and vigorous scratch performance. Additionally, the S-120 cartridge is
engineered to work perfectly with both Serato SL1 and SL3 interfaces, providing
a strong 10.0 mV output and greatly reducing setup and calibration requirements.
Ortofon's Asymmetric Suspension, found exclusively in the S-120, allows the
diamond to more effectively trace the groove than any other DJ cartridge,
reproducing a level of sound quality formerly only reserved for far more
delicate HiFi cartridges.
Previous to the creation of the Orotofon S-120 cartridge's asymmetric
suspension, the sound quality and ability to "stick to the groove" was greatly
dictated by the tracking force being used; too little tracking force would often
lead to the stylus jumping out of the groove during a loud passage or distorted
bass response and often created severe groove damage. Conversely, too much
tracking force would limit the movement of the stylus, making backcueing
problematic and leading to poor treble response; it would also damage the
suspension irreparably. The S-120 makes these concerns a thing of the past,
providing absolute flexibility in all settings. The Concorde S-120 Kit mounts
directly onto DJ's tone arms without the need for a headshell and includes a
replacement stylus.
