Key Features
The Ortofon 2M Mono Premounted MM Cartridge has been developed with a focus on easy installation and high-quality performance, boasting a stylus tip that's specially designed for mono microgroove LP records. Pre-attached to the Ortofon SH-4 Headshell, this option features an SME connector compatible with a wide range of modern tonearms and turntables and stands out with compatibility amongst a variety of playback equipment and phono preamps.
The 2M Mono features an R 18µm Nude Spherical diamond tip specifically designed for playing mono microgroove LP vinyl records. To ensure the delicate signal is unaffected by outside interference, the Hopelex cartridge body is rigid, diminishing the effects of resonance. The 2M Mono also utilises a strapped output to generate a consistent signal from both sets of pole pins. This innovation removes the necessity for mono-specific equipment, facilitating genuine mono reproduction on any stereo playback system. This design also makes this cartridge compatible with the Ortofon 2M 78, meaning you can quickly and easily interchange your stylus and expand the versatility of your vinyl setup.
