ORTOFON 2M BLACK

Pre owned. Comes with original packaging, manual and accessories.

The 2M Black represents the flagship of the 2M series, perfectly embodying Ortofon’s philosophy of faithful and engaging musical reproduction. It is designed for listeners who want to sense the presence of the artist in the room while playing their records, capturing every detail across the entire audio spectrum exactly as the performer intended.

At the heart of the 2M Black is a Shibata stylus, whose slim and precisely polished profile allows for exceptionally wide contact with the groove walls. This design ensures accurate and faithful tracking, making even the finest high-frequency information perceptible, and delivering detailed, natural sound.

The 2M series is the result of Ortofon’s experience, technology, and innovation, aiming to convey music exactly as the artist intended. Each cartridge is designed and manufactured in Denmark with meticulous attention to quality, and when standard technology is insufficient, Ortofon develops proprietary solutions to achieve the desired performance. The 2M Black features a special generator with split pole pins and silver-plated copper wire, ensuring signal precision and transparency.

The cartridge is designed for universal compatibility and easy mounting on most modern turntables, adapting smoothly to different tonearm and headshell configurations. The 2M Black delivers powerful, vivid, and detailed sound, reproducing a three-dimensional soundstage with high-end vinyl replay imagery. Natural recordings of full orchestras confirm its excellence as a moving-magnet cartridge, making every listening session an immersive and precise musical experience.
