The 2M series is designed for precise and accurate retrieval of information in the groove of the vinyl record.

The 2M series is developed in conjunction with Danish industrial designer Møller Jensen Design, the same designer who designed the award-winning MC Jubilee and Kontrapunkt series. Inspired by the facets of a diamond, whose contours gracefully trace the grooves on the surface of a disc, 2M's appealing elegance establishes a great combination of form and function.

The name 2M was selected from a number of ideas. We wanted a modern name that was easy to pronounce and remember, so an alphanumeric name was chosen. 2M stands for MM, which is short for moving magnet.

Of course, the 2M capsule is not just another pretty face. It has been designed to the highest standards and is congruent with Ortofon's relentless commitment to providing the most accurate and clearest possible reproduction without colouration.

Each of the 2M Series capsules has its own individual sonic expression, and the five models together represent the set of five classic variations:

2M Mono SE, 2M Mono and 2M 78 are true mono capsules for playing mono vinyl records.

2M Red is a multi-purpose capsule that offers an open and dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth

2M Blue adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open and reproduces more detail

2M Bronze adds even more detail and resolution, but in a very unbiased way that respects all the elements

2M Black is the best of the bunch, true to the beat with resolution and accurate information on every recording.

The 2M capsule series features Ortofon's signature split polar pins, an invention that allows moving magnet capsules to have a flat frequency response, as with a moving coil capsule. Split pole pins were invented by Ortofon and were originally introduced in the 500 Series and OM Super Series.

We have optimised the design for ease of cartridge mounting, and the weight and size to fit the most common turntables on the market today. The 2M Series provides excellent compatibility when used in a variety of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamplifiers.
