How It Works
The Ortofon 2M Blue operates as a moving magnet cartridge that converts vibrations from a vinyl record groove into an electrical signal. Its nude elliptical diamond stylus sits directly in the groove, offering superior contact and accurate tracking. This allows it to reproduce high-frequency details with low distortion. The cartridge's split pole pins reduce magnetic loss, extending the frequency response and ensuring greater accuracy. Designed for easy mounting, it fits most standard tonearms and works efficiently with MM-compatible phono preamps.
