Ortofon 2M Red Moving Magnet Cartridge

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.

The engine provides an increased output of 5.5 mV, an optimised sound reproduction, and a high level of sonic accuracy. 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 body of the 2M Red cartridge is the same as the model above, the Ortofon 2M Blue. This means that you can simply upgrade the replacement stylus to the model above if you are looking to level up.
