ORTOFON 2M BLUE MOVING MAGNET CARTRIDGE

The 2M Blue is 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.

• Dynamic cartridge with increased resolution and a more open sound
• 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 Elliptical diamond stylus profile

Stylus

The Nude diamond is cut in an Elliptical shape, and when it hits the groove, it is like travelling through both space and time to the very moment the music was recorded.

2M Blue Technology

The 2M Blue has a diamond which has been polished to the highest standards of the industry. This nude elliptical diamond guarantees a solid sonic performance with capable and dynamic tracking of the record groove.

The design has been optimised for easy mounting onto a tonearm; the weight and size of all 2M models are well-suited to fit the most common turntables in today's market.

2M Blue Sound

The 2M Blue, as a step up from the Red, adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open, and reproduces more details.

The 2M Blue is the first step on the path to better sound; As with the rest of the 2M Range the styli are interchangeable, but due to the cartridge body design the perfect pair to the Blue is the Red. Meaning that the 2M Blue is the undisputed best option to upgrade from a 'fitted-from-new' 2M Red model turntable.

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.
