The new Ortofon 2M Mono is a True-Mono cartridge designed for playing mono microgroove LP vinyl records. The 2M series of cartridges feature 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 series and Super OM series.

The 2M Series is developed in conjunction with the Danish designer Møller Jensen Design – the same designer who designed the award winning MC Jubilee and Kontrapunkt series. Inspired by the facets of a diamond, whose contours gracefully trace the grooves on a record’s surface, the 2M’s handsome elegance establishes a great combination of form and functionality.

The name 2M was selected among several ideas. Ortofon wanted a modern name that would be easy to pronounce and to remember, and therefore an alpha numerical name was chosen. 2M means MM, which is the abbreviation for moving magnet.

The new 2M 78 Verso is an alternative product for bottom mount tonearms. Users of the 2M Mono will enjoy an improved engine, which provides a high level of sonic accuracy, and a R 18µm Nude Spherical stylus that is an optimal solution for playing mono microgroove LP vinyl records. The 2M Mono Verso also 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

The new 2M headshell is a practical and elegant solution for our customers who wish for direct and easy mounting and replacement on their tonearm. The combination of 2M Headshell and 2M Series cartridge adds unique distinction to the turntable!

The headshell has a universal mount fitting a wide range of tonearms. (on Technics models please use the auxiliary weight which is vital in this case). The headshell body is manufactured from a special compound used for the medical industry, this ensures high rigidity while reducing unwanted vibration. The 2M Bronze PNP has an elegant hi-tech design and provides an exclusive plug-and-play solution. The headshell with a 2M cartridge pre-mounted provides correct Baerwald alignment with the Ortofon TA-110/210, likewise with the major part of tonearms with a universal mount.
