Ortofon 2M Black Moving Magnet (MM) Cartridge
The 2M Black is the flagship of the classic moving magnet cartridges from Ortofon. The 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 incredibly detailed reproduction throughout the spectrum, including even the most high-frequency groove information.
The 2M Black cartridge is suitable for decks costing £2000 - £3000 and will stand up to many upgrades to the rest of your system before it’s out of its depth. Its natural and musical sound lets you forget about the Hi-Fi and simply enjoy the music – exactly what all good Hi-Fi should do.
Compatibility
The 2M Series is designed for easy installation and is available in three different variants: the 2M for most common turntables on the market, the 2M Verso, for bottom mount headshells and the 2MR, which has a reduced height form factor making it suitable for turntables and tonearms with a requirement for low-form factor cartridges.
- Designed to be as true to the groove as possible
- Nude Shibata diamond stylus
- Utilises Ortofon's split-pole pin
- Anti-resonant Hopelex body and improved internal engine with silver-plated copper wire
