Ortofon 2M Bronze

Ortofon 2M Bronze is an agile moving-magnet cartridge with present naturalness and precision, equipped with a fineline diamond cut.

Naturalness is at the forefront of the new Ortofon MM Series 2M. In order to significantly reduce the underlying noise, the function of the magnet unit has been significantly revised. Likewise, a higher output voltage ensures unproblematic interaction with other phono preamplifiers.

In contrast to the two smaller systems Red and Blue, the Ortofon 2M Bronze MM cartridge has a particularly low-resonance Lexan DMX plastic housing as well as a sharp fine-line needle grind that ensures safe groove contact. You can hear a clearly high playing level with clear treble resolution and dreamlike spatial depth.
