Stylus: Embark on an Elevated Mono Experience with the 2M Mono Cartridge. Designed to bring out the best in your mono microgroove LP vinyl records, it features a stylus tipped with an R 18µm Nude Spherical diamond. This engineered feature is an optimal solution for playing mono microgroove LP vinyl records and is ideal for achieving exceptional playback quality and capturing the essence of vintage mono soundscapes.
Output: The 2M Mono 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 possible to enjoy true mono reproduction on any stereo playback system.
A Tribute to the Beatles: Leif Johannsen, Ortofon Chief Officer of Acoustics and Research, reveals that the Mono cartridges were specifically created as a tribute to the Mono Beatles album set released in 2014. The Beatles have an important place in many music lovers' hearts, and Ortofon is honoured to ensure high quality, modern replay from the Mono Box Set.
Compatibility: The 2M Series is designed for easy mounting of the cartridge and for the weight and size to fit the most common turntables on the market today.
The 2M Series are available in four different product variant configurations: the 2M for most common turntables on the market; the 2M Premounted, for customers who wish direct and easy mounting and replacement on their S-shaped tonearm; the 2M Verso, for bottom mount headshells; and the 2MR, which is designed cartridge housing tailored for turntables and tonearms like Rega, matching their requirement for low-form factor cartridges.
