High-performance motor system

Features

The 2M Blue features a high-performance motor system with quad coils and Ortofon’s very own invention: split pole pins with a copper wire. This innovation provides a sound reproduction so precise that only your heart dares to skip a beat. The engine offers an increased output of 5.5 mV, optimized sound reproduction, and a high level of sonic accuracy.

It also forgives small imperfections in the recording or mixing. If you're looking for a cartridge for every occasion and don't want to miss out on the finest sound, this is the right choice for you.
