Ortofon 2M Black Cartridge Stylus with Nude Shibata Tip for Turntables

The flagship Ortofon 2M Black utilizes a Shibata stylus, a feature usually not found on cartridges at this price point. Equipped with a highly upgraded generator and a proprietary body material, the 2M Black delivers a remarkably fast and detailed sound experience while maintaining musical richness. It stands out as an excellent value.

The 2M Black, as the top model in the 2M series, is known for its light, fast touch and an excellent treble extension. Its ability to provide a clear window into micro-energies allows it to reveal intricate soundstage details. This performance attributes to the respected engineering of Ortofon and chief engineer Per Windfield.

The 2M series employs Ortofon’s proprietary split pole pins, ensuring a flat frequency response similar to moving coil cartridges. This innovative split pole pin technology, initially introduced in the 500 series and Super OM series, is a significant design feature in the 2M series.

Developed in collaboration with Danish designer Møller Jensen, the 2M series marries aesthetic elegance with functional excellence. The design, inspired by the facets of a diamond, allows for precise groove tracing, ensuring accurate and detailed sound reproduction.

Ortofon’s design philosophy emphasizes faithful reproduction of the original recordings. The 2M series, optimized for ease of mounting and compatibility with a wide range of turntables, ensures that the authentic sound remains uncolored and true to the original record.
