Ortofon 2M Black Moving Magnet Cartridge

Ortofon 2M Black MM Cartridge

The 2M Black is the flagship of the series, and it lives up to this with flying colours. You can hear every little detail in the music from every part of the spectrum. Just the way the artist wanted you to. This is for those who want to sense the presence of the artist in the room when they listen to their records.

Flagship Performance

Shibata Diamond Stylus

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

Something For Everyone

2M Black

The 2M Black Series is designed for easy cartridge mounting, weight, and size to fit the most common turntables today. The 2M Black Series is available in four different product variant configurations: the 2M Black for most common turntables on the market; the 2M Black Premounted, for customers who wish direct and easy mounting and replacement on their S-shaped tonearm; the 2M Black Verso, for bottom mount headshells; and the 2MR Black, which is designed cartridge housing tailored for turntables and tonearms like Rega, matching their requirement for low-form factor cartridges.
