Ortofon 2M Red MM Cartridge

£85.00

The Ortofon 2M Red and 2M Blue are designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove. Indeed, it is Ortofon's lasting philosophy to only ever play the recorded sound, without colouration. To obtain a flat frequency response, as with a Moving Coil cartridge, Ortofon are using split pole pins in the 2M design, to reduce the eddy current. 

  • Improved engine, which provides an output of 5.5mV

  • Optimised sound reproduction and high level of sonic accuracy

  • Tipped Elliptical diamond

  • Split pole pins with a copper wire

  • All-purpose cartridge that delivers open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth

  • Supplied with 2 different sets of screws (M2.5 x 5 & M2.5 x 7)

  • Stylus brush included
