Overview

The 2M Mono uses a Nude mounted spherical stylus in what is pretty similar to the body of the Red/Blue series with a mono engine. It is a really good choice for listeners who want to hear their mono records the way they were intended to be heard.

High Notes

World Class Moving Magnet Cartridges

With over 100 years of experience, Ortofon makes some of the best value cartridges on the planet. It's easy to see why the 2M Red and 2M Blue are the choice of so many turntable manufacturers

Split Pole Technology

This patented technology gives you flatter frequency response and much great extension on the frequency extremes while maintaining accurate phase between the channels

Universal Mounting

Whether you need a standard mount, P-Mount, or a vintage under-mount, all of the 2M models are available in any configuration to fit your turntable

Features:

  • An improved engine, which provides a high level of sonic accuracy.
  • R 18µm Nude Spherical diamond that is an optimal solution for playing mono microgroove LP vinyl records.
  • The cartridge body is manufactured from Hopelex, an environment-friendly material which ensures high rigidity while eliminating unwanted resonances.
  • 2M Mono uses a strapped output to deliver the same output signal from both sets of pole pins. This effectively eliminates the need for mono-specific equipment, making it possible to enjoy true mono reproduction on any stereo playback system.

The 2M Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.
