Ortofon 2MR Blue Cartridge
A key component in any turntable setup is the cartridge and stylus. Ortofon cartridges are known for their ability to precisely read groove data on vinyl records and convert it into a high-quality analogue signal. This Ortofon 2MR cartridges exemplifies Ortofon's expertise in professional audio equipment, offering premium sound output through its sophisticated design and advanced technical specifications.
The "R"
The 2MR ("R" for “Reduced”) boasts all the same features as the standard 2M range, but makes use of a cartridge body with reduced ride height. The result of this reduction is improved compatibility with popular tonearms and turntables that require a lower-profile cartridge, like Rega.
Blue
The Ortofon 2MR Blue Moving Magnet Cartridge is designed for exceptional sound quality and precision. It features a Nude Elliptical diamond stylus, which delivers detailed and accurate sound while minimizing groove wear. The cartridge's advanced engine provides a 5.5mV output for a dynamic response and improved sound clarity.
The Ortofon 2MR Blue excels in accuracy and distortion reduction. Its split pole pin technology, inspired by moving coil cartridges, ensures a flat frequency response. With an optimal tracking force range of 1.6g, it reduces noise and prevents excessive wear on vinyl records.
Upgradability
The 2MR Blue provides a cost-effective and flexible upgrade path, ensuring you have access to the best sound quality without bearing the burden of changing your entire setup. The interchangeable stylus option further reinforces its future-proofing capabilities.
