Description

The Specialist Mono LPs Deserve: Ortofon 2M Mono MM Phono Cartridge Features Nude Spherical Stylus with Requisite Larger Size for Accurate Tracking

Some of the greatest recordings in music continue to be reissued on vinyl in their original mono mixes. Do them justice with the Ortofon 2M Mono phono cartridge. Equipped with an improved engine to provide accurate playback, 2M Mono digs deep into the grooves to pull out music you've never heard before. 2M Mono utilizes a nude spherical stylus with the correct for a cohesive, focused, detailed sound. It plays with low surface noise, lives for retrieving detail, and presents images with pleasing sharpness while avoiding etching or fatigue. 

To further enhance its performance, the Hopelex cartridge body ensures high rigidity while eliminating unwanted resonances. 2M Mono also uses a strapped output to deliver the same output signal from both sets of pole pins, which effectively eliminates the need for mono-specific equipment and makes it possible to enjoy true mono reproduction on any stereo system.

"Its performance also owes to its Hopelex cartridge body, which ensures high rigidity while eliminating unwanted resonances. 2M Mono also uses a strapped output to deliver the same output signal from both sets of pole pins.
