The 2M Series of cartridges is designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove. Ortofon's philosophy is to play the record sound as accurate as possible without coloring the sound.The 2M Bronze features a nude Fine Line diamond stylus which is particularly suited for demanding applications. The slim profile of the Fine Line stylus will track even the highest frequency information making it a must for discerning listeners. Additionally its larger footprint ensures reduced distortion and record wear.The cartridge body used for the 2M Bronze is manufactured from a newly-developed Lexan DMX Piano Black a revolutionary material which ensures high rigidity while eliminating unwanted resonances.We have optimized the design for ease of mounting the cartridge and the weight and size to fit the most common turntables on the market today. The 2M Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.The 2M Bronze uses a special upgraded engine featuring split pole pins with a silver plated copper wire.2M Black Specifications:Output voltage at 1000 Hz 5cm/sec: 5mVChannel balance at 1kHz: 1 dBChannel separation at 1 kHz: 26 dBChannel separation at 15 kHz: 15 dBFrequency range at - 3 dB: 20-29.000 HzFrequency response: 20-20.000 + 2 / - 0 dBTracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force: 80 micrometersCompliance dynamic lateral: 22 micrometers/mNStylus type: Nude Fine LineStylus tip radius: r/R 8/40 micrometersTracking force range: 14-17g (14-17 mN)Tracking force recommended: 15 g (15 mN)Tracking angle: 20 degreesInternal impedance DC resistance: 12 kOhmInternal inductance: 630 mHRecommended load resistance: 47 kOhmRecommended load capacitance: 150-300 pFCartridge colour body/stylus: Black/BronzeCartridge weight: 7.2gReplacement stylus unit: 2M Bronze (interchangeable with 2M Black)Stylus protection guard: 2M BronzeWhat's In The Box:1 x Stylus brush1 x Screwdrive

The 2M Black Series is the MM flagship from OrtofonThe 2M Black is graced with a Shibata diamond stylus – the same diamond as on the acclaimed MC Jubilee. Its slim highly polished profile allows an exceedingly wide contact area to the groove walls and ensures notably detailed reproduction throughout the spectrum including even the most high frequency groove information.The cartridge body used for the 2M Black is manufactured from a newly-developed Lexan DMX Piano Black a revolutionary material which ensures high rigidity while eliminating unwanted resonances.The 2M Black uses a special upgraded engine featuring split pole pins with a silver plated copper wire.We have optimized the design for ease of mounting the cartridge and the weight and size to fit the most common turntables on the market today. The 2M Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.Users of the 2M Black will enjoy the benefit of impeccable sound quality along with reduced record & stylus wear and reduced distortion and phase error as a result of the diamond’s improved tracking geometry.2M Black Specifications:Output voltage at 1000 Hz 5cm/sec: 5mVChannel balance at 1kHz: 1 dBChannel separation at 1 kHz: 26 dBChannel separation at 15 kHz: 15 dBFrequency range at - 3 dB: 20-31.000 HzFrequency response: 20-20.000 + 2 / - 0 dBTracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force: 80 micrometersCompliance dynamic lateral: 22 micrometers/mNStylus type: Nude ShibataStylus tip radius: r/R 6/50 micrometersTracking force range: 14-17g (14-17 mN)Tracking force recommended: 15 g (15 mN)Tracking angle: 20 degreesInternal impedance DC resistance: 12 kOhmInternal inductance: 630 mHRecommended load resistance: 47 kOhmRecommended load capacitance: 150-300 pFCartridge colour body/stylus: Black/BlackCartridge weight: 7.2gReplacement stylus unit: 2M Black (interchangeable with 2M Bronze)Stylus protection guard:

2M HiFi Phono Cartridge With Elliptical Diamond StylusThe 2M Series of cartridges is designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove. Ortofon's philosophy is to play the record sound as accurate as possible without coloring the sound.The name 2M was selected from several ideas. Ortofon wanted a modern name that would be easy to pronounce and remember and therefore an alphanumerical name was chosen. 2M means MM which is the abbreviation for moving magnet. The 2M series of cartridges features Ortofon’s trademark split pole pins an invention that enables moving magnet cartridges to have a flat frequency response as with a moving coil cartridge. Split pole pins were invented by Ortofon and were originally presented in the 500 series and Super OM series.  We have optimized the design for ease of mounting the cartridge and the weight and size to fit the most common turntables on the market today. The 2M Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps. 2M Red Series Features:an improved engine which provides an increased output of 5.5mVa tipped Elliptical diamond and split pole pins with a copper wireWhat's In The Box:1 x Stylus brush1 x Screwdriver2 x Screw M25 x 52 x Screw M25 x 7Specifications:Output voltage at 1000 Hz 5cm/sec: 55 mVChannel balance at 1kHz: 15 dBChannel separation at 1 kHz: 22 dBChannel separation at 15 kHz: 15 dBFrequency range at - 3 dB: 20-22.000 HzFrequency response: 20-20.000 + 3 / - 1 dBTracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force: 70 micrometersCompliance dynamic lateral: 20 micrometers/mNStylus type: EllipticalStylus tip radius: r/R 8/18 micrometersTracking force range: 16-20g (16-20 mN)Tracking force recommended: 18 g (18 mN)Tracking angle: 20 degreesInternal impedance DC resistance: 13 kOhmInternal inductance: 700 mHRecommended load resistance: 47 kOhmRecommended load capacitance: 150-30
