Ortofon 2MR Red 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.
Red
The Ortofon 2MR Red Moving Magnet Cartridge is designed to deliver excellent sound quality with its Elliptical diamond stylus, known for extracting precise details from vinyl records. With an engine output of 5.5mV, it ensures a dynamic and engaging listening experience.
The Ortofon 2MR Red excels in accurate tracking and reduced distortion, thanks to its split pole pin technology borrowed from moving coil cartridges. This results in a flat frequency response and an optimal tracking force range of 1.6g - 2.0g, balancing noise reduction and vinyl wear.
Features:
- Elliptical diamond stylus for precise sound and longer record life
- 5.5mV output for dynamic audio response
- Split pole pin technology for clear and accurate sound
- Optimal tracking force for noise reduction and minimal vinyl wear
- High compatibility with various turntables
