Key Features
The Ortofon 2M 78 Verso is a high-performance MM cartridge with a stylus tip specifically designed for 78 RPM shellac records. The Verso model comes with pre-installed screws for bottom-mount headshells where top-screwing is not possible. This design prioritises convenience, with weight and dimensions that are compatible with the majority of modern-day headshells and tonearms.
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.
