100% Genuine Ortofon - Packaging May Vary - Contains Ortofon Documentation 


2M Blue Plug and Play Premounted Cartridge




The goal of any cartridge should be to reproduce sound as closely to the artist's vision as possible, and the 2M Blue takes you further on this journey toward authenticity. The 2M Blue is mounted on our classic SH-4 headshell, making the setup process easy. With the 2M Blue, you get serious about listening to vinyl.

Experience the convenience of the 2M Blue Premounted – a smart and refined choice for those seeking straightforward installation and effortless replacement on their S-shaped tonearm. The SH-4 headshell's resilience and stability are enhanced by its slender and refined design. A robust yet lightweight construction, coupled with an ergonomic, extended finger lift, ensures easy handling and pickup.

The Nude diamond is cut in an Elliptical shape, and when it hits the groove it is like travelling through both space and time to the very moment the music was recorded.

2M Headshell features:

  • Universal mount fitting a wide range of tonearms. NB: on Technics models please use the auxiliary weight which is vital in this case.
  • For curved S shaped tonearms only! Not for Japanese type straight arms.
  • Length 51.5mm. Headshell with a 2M cartridge pre-mounted provides correct Baerwald alignment with Ortofon TA-110/210, likewise with the major part of tonearms with universal mount
  • Weight without cartridge or screws is 9.2 g (9.4 incl. screws - not cartridge)
  • Exclusive plug-and-play solution



from http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue39/ortofon2m.htm :
"The 2M series w/ SH-4 Headshell is available in four different iterations, which are divided into two tiers. The 2M Red ($159) and Blue ($229) share the same plastic cartridge body and engine, but where the Red uses a standard elliptical stylus, the Blue employs a polished, nude elliptical diamond. The second tier is comprised of the Bronze ($499) and Black ($779), which share an advanced Noryl/glass composite body and a more sophisticated engine. The Bronze sports a nude fine-line diamond, while the Black has a top-of-the-line Shibata profile. Both the Bronze and Black also use silver-plated wire internally instead of copper. Styli are interchangeable within both tiers, so the buyer of a Red can cost-effectively upgrade to Blue for only the price of the stylus unit. Ditto with the Bronze and Black."

From Ortofon:

The 2M series is built on our philosophy of accuracy in sound. All our experience, know-how, technology, and innovation has gone into making it the series that lets you hear the music the way the artist intended. In every piece of every cartridge, we strive for perfection, and when the technology can’t deliver the quality we want - we invent something that can. To ensure the highest of quality in our product we keep everything close. All our cartridges are designed and crafted right here in Denmark.

The 2M Series is developed in conjunction with the Danish Industrial designer Møller Jensen Design. Inspired by the facets of a diamond, whose contours gracefully trace the grooves on a record’s surface, the 2M’s handsome elegance establishes a great combination of form and functionality.

The engine provides an increased output of 5.5 mV optimized sound reproduction and a high level of sonic accuracy. The 2M Blue adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open, and reproduces more details compared to the 2M Red model.
