The 2M Series of cartridges from Ortofon have been designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove. Indeed, it is Ortofon's lasting philosophy to only ever play the recorded sound, without colouration.

• Optimised mono output cartridge
• Overhead mounting cartridge for installing into a headshell
• Moving magnet cartridge with removable stylus
• Utilises Ortofon's split-pole pin technology to reduce the eddy current and to get a flat frequency response, like with an MC cartridge
• Anti-resonant Hopelex body
• Nude spherical diamond stylus

Stylus

Embark on an Elevated Mono Experience with the 2M Mono Cartridge. Designed to bring out the best in your mono microgroove LP vinyl records, it features a stylus tipped with an R 18µm Nude Spherical diamond. This engineered feature is an optimal solution for playing mono microgroove LP vinyl records and is ideal for achieving exceptional playback quality and capturing the essence of vintage mono soundscapes.

Output

The 2M Mono uses a strapped output to deliver the same output signal from both sets of pole pins. This effectively eliminates the need for mono-specific equipment, making it possible to enjoy true mono reproduction on any stereo playback system.

Compatibility

The 2M Series is designed for easy mounting of the cartridge and for the weight and size to fit the most common turntables on the market today. The 2M Mono is available in three different product variant configurations: 2M, 2M Premounted, for customers who wish direct and easy mounting and replacement on their S-shaped tonearm, and 2M Verso, for bottom mount headshells.

We try and keep on top of our pricing, but it's a mammoth task for one person. So, if you see this product offered cheaper elsewhere, or you are offered it for less elsewhere (proof will be required) and you feel like supporting an extremely independent retailer, do get in touch and we will do our very best to match or beat wherever we can. We can't promise to do so, as there may some extenuating circumstances where we just wouldn't be able to, but we'll always do what we can.

Needs to be like for like - new for new, ex-demo for ex-demo, same colour and specs etc.
