A Shibita diamond needle pickup

The 2M Black is equipped with a Shibata diamond needle whose slim and carefully polished profile enables an extraordinarily wide contact surface with the vinyl's track walls. This ensures remarkably detailed reproduction throughout the frequency range, including even the most high-frequency track information. The specially designed "motor" with split pole pins and silver-plated copper wire contributes to the incredible sound reproduction.

Optimized design and seamless integration

2M Black has been developed so that it can be easily mounted on your turntable, and its weight and size are carefully matched to fit with most turntables on the market. The versatility of the 2M Series is also demonstrated by its playing style fitting into many different systems and a wide selection of RIAA amplifiers.

In short, the Ortofon 2M Black is the epitome of authenticity, and with it connected to your turntable you are well equipped to explore every nuance in your vinyl collection.
