Our philosophy is to play the record sound as accurate as possible, without coloring the sound. The 2M Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.
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. Ortofon 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.
