Ortofon 2M Blue Moving Magnet (MM) Cartridge
With an improved engine, featuring a higher output than the 2M Red, the 2M Blue gives a higher level of sonic accuracy. Featuring a Nude Elliptical stylus, the 2M Blue creates a wider contact with the record groove than the 2M Red model. It’s this increased contact that gives the 2M Blue a more dynamic sound with improved depth and crisper treble. A wider contact also means less wear to your precious record collection. The 2m Blue’s wide-ranging abilities make it the ideal choice for a wide range of turntables, from budget decks up to those around £1000. Its balanced sound also means it’s ideal for listening to a wide range of music genres.
Compatibility
The 2M Series is designed for easy installation and is available in three different variants: the 2M for most common turntables on the market, the 2M Verso, for bottom mount headshells and the 2MR, which has a reduced height form factor making it suitable for turntables and tonearms like Rega, matching their requirement for low-form factor cartridges.
