Ortofon 2M Blue

Each of the 2M Series cartridges has its own individual sonic expression, and all five models together represent the ensemble of five classic variations:

Description

2M Blue features:

– an improved engine, which provides an increased output of 5.5mV and an optimized sound reproduction and a high level of sonic accuracy

– Nude Elliptical diamond and split pole pins with a copper wire

2M Blue adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open and reproduces more details than 2M Red
