Ortofon

2M Black Cartridge

Welcome to a new era of exceptional sound quality with the Ortofon - 2M Black - Cartridge, the new moving magnet flagship meticulously designed and superbly engineered by Ortofon. Enjoy the prestigious brilliance of a Shibata diamond stylus, known for its superior performance in the celebrated MC Jubilee. Its refined, highly polished profile allows for an extraordinarily wide contact area with the groove walls, ensuring concert-quality sound reproduction throughout the spectrum that will leave audiophiles astounded. The 2M Black is a revelation in detail, even for the most high-frequency groove information. Experience the joy of impristine sound quality, coupled with reduced record and stylus wear, and minimal distortion and phase error.

Thanks to the advanced tracking geometry of the diamond stylus, the 2M Black provides an unparalleled listening experience. This elite cartridge is encased in a body made from a unique Noryl plastic/glass combination. This groundbreaking material ensures outstanding rigidity while simultaneously eliminating unwelcome resonances for an even purer sound. Our 2M Black model is a showcase of our most advanced engineering, featuring unique split pole pins with a silver-plated copper wire, part of our own 2M technology. The result? A resounding victory for sound, with a flat frequency response that emulates the performance of a moving coil cartridge.

Replete with exceptional shibata stylus and trademark split pole pins, the Ortofon 2M series delivers a high-fidelity sound reproduction that is as accurate as it is captivating. It maintains its committed philosophy to render the record's sound as accurately as possible, without colouring the sound. Just as a diamond's facets gracefully trace a record's groove, the 2M's stylish elegance embodies the perfect combination of form and function.
