Description

The Ortofon 2M Series was developed in conjunction with the Danish designer Moeller Jensen Design. Inspired by the facets of a diamond, whose contours gracefully trace the grooves on a record’s surface, the 2M’s attractive elegance establishes a great combination of form and functionality.

2M styli interchangeability

2M series styli are interchangeable within the below combinations: 
– 2M Red, 2M Blue and 2M Silver
– 2M Bronze, 2M Black and 2M Black LVB 250
– 2M Mono and 2M 78

Special for 2M Red, 2M Blue and 2M Silver phono cartridges:
– 2M Silver will be an upgrade compared to 2M Red due to a special suspension and silver plated copper wire material.
– 2M Blue is an upgrade compared to both 2M Red and 2M Silver thanks to Nude Elliptical diamond which retrieves information from the groove with a higher accuracy.
