Specially Made for Rega Tonearms and Turntables: Ortofon 2MR Red Sets the Standard for Entry-Level High-End Moving-Magnet Phono Cartridges

Built with a specially designed narrow cartridge housing tailored for Rega turntables and tonearms that require low form-factor cartridges, Ortofon 2MR Red MM seamlessly integrates with Rega platforms without any need for modifications or spacers under the tonearm. Best of all, it retains every performance and material characteristic of the original 2M Red. 

And that’s a very good thing, given 2MR Red is as good as audiophile-grade moving-magnet types come at its price point. Open, slightly warm, and a truly all-purpose design, 2MR Red uses a tipped elliptical diamond stylus and rubber dampers for accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove.

Ortofon's trademark quad-coils motor system and split pole pins enable flat frequency response, just like that of a moving-coil cartridge. An improved engine provides an increased output of 5.5mV. Plus, it is compatible with Ortofon 2M replacement styli and mounts easily and quickly, via two screws.
