| Summary | The 2M Red is designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove. Indeed, it is Ortofon's lasting philosophy to only ever play the recorded sound, without colouration. To obtain a flat frequency response, as with a Moving Coil cartridge, Ortofon are using split pole pins in the 2M design, to reduce the eddy current. The split pole pins are an Ortofon invention which was originally presented in the 500 and Super OM series, to great effect. Key Features:
2M Verso: The 2M series of cartridges are now also available in a special version, suited for bottom-mount tonearms. 2M Premounted: The 2M Premounted is a practical and elegant solution for those who require direct and easy mounting on their S-shaped tonearm. The quality of the SH-4 headshell is sturdy and rigid, yet the design emphasises a slim and delicate form factor with a long finger lift that is easy to pick up. 2MR (Reduced): The "R" stands for “Reduced” and relates to the lower cartridge body height. This is suited to certain types of tonearms from manufacturers such as Pro-Ject, Linn and Rega, to achieve the correct VTA. | Boost your audio experience with the POWERNODE EDGE, the ideal starting point for "just add speakers" HiFi in the streaming era. This all-in-one solution combines streaming sources, control, and amplification, featuring audiophile-grade components capable of up to 24-bit/192 kHz hi-res audio. With wireless multi-room support and smartphone control, the POWERNODE EDGE serves as a perfect foundation to build, expand, or complete a high-resolution streaming audio system, no matter the size.
