Ortofon 2M Bronze Moving Magnet Cartridge

2M Bronze Moving Magnet MM Cartridge, by Ortofon.

The 2M Bronze is designed to give the music a whole new dimension of precision. Listening to your records with the 2M Bronze is like hearing them for the first time, and you get to fall in love with the songs all over again. That is what hi-fi means to us, and that is what you get with the 2M Bronze.

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

2M Bronze features a nude Fine Line diamond stylus, which is particularly suited for demanding applications. The slim profile of the Fine Line stylus will track even the highest frequency information, making it a must for discerning listeners. Additionally it's larger footprint ensures reduced distortion and record wear.

2M Bronze Standard / 2M Bronze Verso / 2MR Bronze

The Ortofon 2M Bronze is available in Standard, Verso, or Reduced models.

The Verso model has twin screws protruding from the top of the cartridge mount, and is an alternative product for bottom mount headshells. Read more about the 2M Bronze Verso model.

The Reduced model (2MR Bronze) reduces the overall cartridge height by 3 mm, which is important on turntables where VTA is an issue. Read more about the 2MR Bronze Reduced model.
