The Ortofon 2M Blue Verso combines a nude elliptical diamond with a dedicated bottom-mount design, revealing greater detail, openness and dynamics from vinyl. Read more.
The Ortofon 2M Blue Verso is designed for turntables where the cartridge is secured from beneath the headshell. Its nude elliptical diamond follows the record groove with excellent precision, retrieving more detail, openness and dynamics than a conventional elliptical stylus. With an output of 5.5 mV, this Moving Magnet cartridge is an excellent match for standard MM phono inputs. It is a compelling upgrade for listeners who want to take vinyl playback to a higher level.

Before ordering, confirm that your headshell requires a cartridge mounted from underneath. After installation, set the tracking force to 1.8 g and align the cartridge carefully. Connect the 2M Blue Verso to an MM phono input with a 47 kΩ load and a recommended capacitance of 150-300 pF. When the diamond becomes worn, it can be replaced with the original Ortofon 2M Blue replacement stylus.
