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 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.
