Accuracy level
With the 2M Red, you will hear the music come to life on its own terms. It is like taking a step into the music itself. This is our entry-level cartridge in the series, but what an entry. The 2M Red delivers an open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth.
Features
The 2M Red features Ortofon’s very own invention: the split pole pins with a copper wire that gives you a sound reproduction so precise only your heart dares skip a beat.
Compatibility
The 2M Series is designed for easy cartridge mounting, weight, and size to fit the most common turntables today. The 2M Series are available in four different product variant configurations: the 2M for most common turntables on the market; the 2M Premounted, for customers who wish direct and easy mounting and replacement on their S-shaped tonearm; the 2M Verso, for bottom mount headshells; and the 2MR, which is designed cartridge housing tailored for turntables and tonearms like Rega, matching their requirement for low-form factor cartridges.
Output
The engine provides an increased output of 5.5 mV, an optimized sound reproduction, and a high level of sonic accuracy.
2M Red accessories included the package:
- 1 x Stylus brush
- 1 x Screwdriver
- 2 x Screw M2.5 x 5
- 2 x Screw M2.5 x 7
Verso and headshell models available for special order. Please contact us if interested.

"Resolution from this cartridge is more than competent, and the sense of space and inflection on the world-weary I've Been To Town from Sinatra's A Man Alone sits well here."
