Step into the music with the 2M Red

The Ortofon 2M 78 is a moving magnet (MM) cartridge from the 2M Series. It is designed for playing 78 rpm shellac records, with a stylus sized for their wider grooves.

It features a Spherical stylus on a aluminium cantilever, 4 mV output and a recommended tracking force of 1.8 g.

The Ortofon 2M Series

The 2M Series is a range of moving magnet (MM) cartridges designed and made in Denmark, from the entry-level 2M Red to the flagship 2M Black LVB 250. Each step adds resolution, dynamics and detail.

The 2M Red can be upgraded to a 2M Blue and the 2M Bronze to a 2M Black by changing only the stylus.

Split pole pin technology

The generator uses four coils and split pole pins, an Ortofon invention that gives a linear frequency response and excellent channel separation.

Its high output makes it easy to match with any MM phono stage.

Easy mounting

2M cartridges have a weight and size that fit most turntables on the market, with a standard half-inch mount and two screws.

They are also available as Verso versions for bottom-mount headshells and as Premounted versions, ready on a headshell for S-shaped tonearms.
