The name 2M was selected among several ideas. We wanted a modern name that would be easy to pronounce and to remember, and therefore an alpha numerical name was chosen. 2M means MM, which is the abbreviation for moving magnet.
The 2M series of cartridges feature 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, weight and size to fit the most common turntables at the market today. 2M Series provides excellent compatibility in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.
The 2M Red Series features:
•an improved engine, which provides an increased output of 5.5mV
•a tipped Elliptical diamond and split pole pins with a copper wire
2M Headshell features:
•Universal mount fitting a wide range of tonearms. NB: on Technics models please use the auxiliary weight which is vital in this case.
•The headshell body is manufactured from a special compound used for Medical industry, ensures high rigidity while reducing unwanted vibration
•Elegant hi-tech design
•Length 52mm. Headshell with a 2M cartridge pre-mounted provides correct Baerwald alignment with Ortofon TA-110/210, likewise with the major part of tonearms with universal mount
•Weight 16,9g, weight with a 2M cartridge pre-mounted 23g
•Exclusive plug-and-play solution
