ORTOFON 2M Black Moving Magnet Cartridge

With the 2M Black, you will not only hear the music, but you will sense the presence of the artist in the room while listening to your favorite records.

The 2M Black is graced with a Shibata diamond that gives it contact with the groove like nothing else. The slim, highly polished profile allows an exceedingly wide contact area to the groove walls and ensures notably detailed reproduction throughout the spectrum, including even the most high frequency groove information.

The 2M Black uses a special engine featuring Ortofon’s very own invention: split pole pins upgraded with a silver-plated copper wire.
