ORTOFON 2M RED

Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge is a high-performance entry-priced cartridge

The 2M Red is designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove. Indeed, it is Ortofon’s lasting philosophy to only ever play the recorded sound, without coloration.

To obtain a flat frequency response, as with a Moving Coil cartridge, Ortofon are using split pole pins in the 2M design, to reduce the eddy current. The split pole pins are an Ortofon invention which was originally presented in the 500 and Super OM series, to great effect.

The 2M Red and 2M Blue both use the same engine with split pole pins. With this improved engine Ortofon have been able to increase the output to an impressive 5.5 mV.

The Ortofon 2M Red is an all-purpose cartridge that delivers open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth.
