Level of accuracy
Remember when you fell in love with music? The 2M Red will reignite that flame and make music meaningful again. The moment the diamond-tipped stylus hits the groove, you’ll feel it. With the 2M Red, you’ll hear the music come alive in its own way. It’s like stepping directly into the music itself. This is our entry-level model in the series, but what an entry.
Universal fit
Compatibility
The 2M series is designed for easy mounting, with a weight and size that fits most common turntables today. The 2M series has four different product variants available: the 2M for most common turntables on the market; the 2M Premounted, for customers who want direct and easy mounting and replacement on their S-shaped tonearm; the 2M Verso, for bottom-mount headshells; and the 2MR, a custom-designed housing for turntables and tonearms such as Rega, which meets the demand for low-profile cartridges.
Split pole pin technology
Features
The 2M Red features Ortofon's own invention: split pole pins with a copper wire, which provides such precise sound reproduction that only your heart dares to skip a beat.
For every stage of your musical expedition
Explore the range
The 2M series is based on our philosophy of accuracy in sound. All our experience, know-how, technology, and innovation have gone into this series, which allows you to hear the music as the artist intended. In every detail of every cartridge, we strive for perfection, and if technology cannot deliver the quality we desire – we invent something that can. To ensure the highest quality in our products, we keep everything close to home. All our cartridges are designed and manufactured here in Denmark.
The 2M series was developed in collaboration with Danish industrial designer Møller Jensen Design. Inspired by the facets of a diamond, whose contours gently trace the grooves on the surface of a record, the 2M combines an elegant aesthetic with a great combination of form and functionality.
Bringing the music to life
Output
The engine delivers an increased output of 5.5 mV, optimized sound reproduction, and a high level of sonic accuracy. With the 2M Red, you’ll hear the music come alive in its own way. It’s like stepping directly into the music itself. This is our entry-level model in the series, but what an entry.
