Description The name 2M was selected from several ideas. We 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. Newly developed low form factor cartridge housing within the famous 2M series: Slimline cartridge body – Effectively eliminates the need for tonearm spacers, shims or modifications 100% compatibility with the 2M styli – All Ortofon 2M styli fits on all 2MR cartridge models Standard half inch mounting – Quick and easy mounting on the tonearms with just two screws A complete series ranging from Mono to Premium: 2MR Red to High-end: 2MR Black LVB 250 2MR Blue: Nude Elliptical diamond on an aluminium cantilever with a Premium Ortofon rubber damper Quad coil motor system with four copper coils and four split pole pins With the 2MR Blue, you get serious about listening to vinyl.
