Ortofon 2MR Black

Ortofon 2MR Black - A low-profile MM cartridge with musicality and rich detail

The 2MR Black is the flagship of Ortofon's MM cartridge range, and it lives up to that status with flying colors. The Shibata diamond gives the stylus contact with your vinyl records that nothing else can match. You can hear every little detail in the music across the entire spectrum, making this cartridge ideal for those who want to sense the artist's presence in the room while listening to their records.

The Ortofon 2MR version is designed to fit low-profile turntables and tonearms such as British Rega models. This means that 2MR can be mounted using just two screws for quick and easy installation.

"...Everything about the 2M Black is well thought out...
...The 2M Black sounds excellent across a wide range of programme material, with a distinctively ‘clean’ Ortofon sound that has tremendous detail resolving capability...
...It goes to work on the recorded acoustic, setting it up tidily with lots of atmosphere stretching right back to the edges of the concert hall...
...It is very good at expressing the emotion in the lead vocal and capturing the dynamic
nuances in the track overall..."

A cartridge with a Shibata diamond stylus

The 2MR Black is equipped with a Shibata diamond stylus whose slim, carefully polished profile enables an extraordinarily wide contact surface with the groove walls of the vinyl. This ensures remarkably detailed reproduction across the entire frequency range, including even the highest-frequency groove information. The specially designed "engine" with split pole pins and silver-plated copper wire contributes to its incredible sound reproduction.

Optimized design and seamless integration

The 2MR Black is developed for easy mounting on your turntable, and its weight and size are carefully matched to fit most turntables on the market. The versatility of the 2M series is also evident in the fact that its playing style suits many different systems and a wide selection of RIAA preamps.

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