Premium Quality Ortofon 2m Black Moving Magnet - Turntable Cartridge Up To 75% Off [Y92isS6J]

The Ortofon 2M Black Moving Magnet Cartridge is graced with a Shibata diamond, which has a slim, highly polished profile allows an exceedingly wide contact area to the groove walls. This also ensures notably detailed reproduction throughout the spectrum, including even the most high frequency groove information.

• The cartridge body is manufactured from Hopelex, an environment-friendly 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.

Ortofon have optimised 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.

Each of the 2M Series cartridges has its own individual sonic expression, and all five models together represent the ensemble of five classic variations:

• 2M Mono and 2M 78 are true mono cartridges for playing mono vinyl records
• 2M Red is an all-purpose cartridge that delivers an open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth
• 2M Blue adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open and reproduces more details
• 2M Bronze adds even more details and resolution but in a very even-handed way that pays respect to all elements
• 2M Black is the best of everything, true to the groove with resolution and accurate insight into each recording

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 OM Super series.
