An Alternative Product for Bottom Mount Tonearms
In addition to the range of acclaimed 2M top-mount models, Ortofon presents the new 2M Verso configuration for bottom mounting. Every 2M model is now also available in “Verso” configuration to allow easy mounting on tonearms which do not allow the screws to pass through the top of the headshell.
Features
Advancements in Sound
The 2M Series 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, and were originally presented in the 500 and Ortofon OM Series.
Ease of Use
The weight and size of 2M Series have been optimized to fit the most common turntables on the market today. The cartridge body has also been streamlined to provide easy mounting and alignment. The name “2M” was chosen as it represents the abbreviation for moving magnet, MM. Moving magnet cartridges provide excellent compatibility in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.
Stylus Types
All of the 2M cartridges feature diamonds that are polished to the highest standards of the industry.
The 2M Mono features a 18 µm Nude Spherical stylus that is an optimal solution for playing mono microgroove vinyl records. It also features an optimized engine for superior sound quality and 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 easily possible to enjoy true mono reproduction on any stereo playback system.
