Ortofon 2M Blue Plug and Play MK II MM Cartridge
This Plug and Play version of the 2M Blue cartridge offers the same exceptional sound quality as the standard model, but it is specifically designed for tonearms without a conventional headshell. It provides a practical and straightforward solution for turntables with SME-style arms, such as those produced by Technics, allowing for easy and efficient installation.
The Ortofon 2M Blue Premounted MM Cartridge, pre-installed on the Ortofon SH-4 Headshell, is an excellent choice for those seeking an uncomplicated setup. Its well-balanced dimensions and weight ensure compatibility with a wide range of modern tonearms, making it an ideal option for simplifying the initial setup of your turntable system.
Engineered with precision, the 2M Blue features a nude elliptical diamond stylus, mounted on a cantilever with split pole magnets, which works seamlessly with a refined copper coil system. This moving magnet design boosts the output to 5.5 mV, offering superior sonic performance and greater accuracy compared to the 2M Red. With its open and dynamic sound, coupled with a subtle warmth, the 2M Blue provides excellent versatility across various playback systems and phono preamps, making it a standout choice for audiophiles seeking clarity and precision in their music.
