About the Ortofon 2M Series cartridges
Thank you for choosing the Ortofon 2M magnetic cartridge system for high performance
sound reproduction of your favourite analogue records.
Our company has been working with sound reproduction since 1918. Ortofon developed
its first phono cartridge in 1948, since then more than 300 different phono cartridges
have been developed and manufactured. Reflecting our extensive experience in
industrial design and technological know-how we have become the global leader in the
manufacture and supply of phono cartridges.
The 2M Series has been engineered in accordance with the highest standards and is
congruent with Ortofon’s unrelenting commitment to providing the most precise and
accurate reproduction possible without coloration.
The 2M Series comprises of two configurations: 2M for top mounting and 2M Verso
for bottom mounting. Each configuration consists of 2M 78, Mono, Red, Blue, Bronze
and Black models, which weight and size have been optimized to fit the most common
turntables on the market to-day.
As a result of reviewer listening tests we feel confident that you will appreciate and enjoy
the unique qualities of these cartridges.
