Ortofon 2M Black Verso 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. The 2M Black Verso model is an alternative product for bottom mount headshells.
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.
What Do The Colours Mean?
Ortofon 2M Series
Ortofon's 2M Series is renowned for delivering exceptional audio quality at accessible prices, making it a popular choice for audiophiles of all levels. With four distinct models—Ortofon 2M Red, Ortofon 2M Blue, Ortofon 2M Bronze, and Ortofon 2M Black—there's a cartridge to suit every taste and budget. Each model offers progressive performance enhancements, allowing you to upgrade as your system evolves. For added flexibility, the 2M Red and Blue styli are interchangeable, as are the 2M Bronze and Black.
Perfect For Rega
Need A Low-Form Factor Cartridge?
The Ortofon 2MR range features a specially designed cartridge housing tailored for turntables and tonearms like Rega, matching their requirement for low-form factor cartridges. With its narrow cartridge housing, it seamlessly integrates without a need for modifications or spacers under the tonearm, enabling quick and easy mounting with just two screws.
Built For Longevity
How Long Do Ortofon Cartridges Last?
The lifespan of your Ortofon cartridge varies depending on the specific model, but Ortofon estimates an average of 1000 hours of playtime. Proper care for both your records and cartridge is essential to maximise their longevity and ensure optimal sound quality. Ortofon offers a 2M Replacement Styli in every colour as an option to extend the life of your cartridge. (See Above)
