2M Blue MM Cartridge Mounted on SH-4 Headshell

Ortofon 2M Blue

• An improved engine providing an increased output of 5.5 mV and an optimized sound reproduction and a high level of sonic accuracy
• A nude Elliptical diamond and split pole pins with a copper wire
• Adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open and reproduces more detail

The 2M Blue adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open and reproduces more details compared to the 2M Red model.

The 2M series of cartridges features Ortofon’s trademark split pole pins, an invention that enables moving magnet cartridges to have a flat frequency response, as with a moving coil cartridge. Split pole pins were invented by Ortofon, and were originally presented in the 500 series and OM Super series.
