Key Features
The Ortofon 2M 78 Premounted MM Cartridge prioritises ease of installation and high performance, with a stylus tip specifically designed for 78 RPM shellac records. This option comes pre-fitted to the Ortofon SH-4 Headshell, with an SME connector that is compatible with the majority of modern-day tonearms and turntables. It stands out with its impressive compatibility across an array of playback systems and phono preamps, underlining its adaptability.
The stylus has a precision-machined Spherical diamond tip, mounted on a robust cantilever. This caters to the unique contours of classic 78 RPM shellac records which necessitate a larger stylus profile. Through the use of a strapped output, the 2M 78 Verso is also able to yield a steady signal from each set of pole pins. This solution negates the need for mono-specific equipment, thus allowing for real mono reproduction on a wider variety of stereo playback systems.
The cartridge body, crafted from Hopelex, guarantees optimal rigidity and diminishes unwanted resonance. It is also compatible with the Ortofon 2M Mono stylus, making replacing, upgrading and experimenting with your turntable cartridge easy. The Ortofon 2M 78 Premounted offers a unique opportunity to play vintage 78 records with exceptional clarity and precision.
