Ortofon 2MR Black MM Cartridge

The Ortofon 2MR Black is a high-end MM cartridge, specifically designed for turntables with low-profile tonearms, such as many Rega and Dual models. Its compact 14 mm body height allows for direct mounting under the tonearm, without the need for spacers or modifications. This makes installation quick and easy – perfect for anyone seeking great sound with minimal hassle.

What sets the 2MR Black apart is the nude Shibata diamond stylus, offering a wide contact area with the groove for outstanding retrieval of fine detail and high frequencies. Combined with a specially engineered motor featuring quad coils, split pole pins, and silver-plated copper wire, this cartridge delivers a dynamic, transparent, and lifelike soundstage.

The cartridge is fully compatible with all Ortofon 2M styli, making upgrades or replacements effortless. With a 5 mV output and recommended tracking force of 1.5 grams, the 2MR Black fits most popular turntables and phono preamps with ease.
