About Ortofon 2M Red

Ortofon\'s 2M Red moving magnet phono cartridge is anall-purpose cartridge that delivers open, dynamic sound with a slight touch ofwarmth. It features a new, improved engine that provides an increased output of5.5mV, an optimized sound reproduction, and a high level of sonic accuracy.

The 2M Red boasts a tipped Elliptical diamond and split polepins with a copper wire. Split pole pins are an invention that enables movingmagnet cartridges to have a flat frequency response, as with a muchhigher-priced moving coil cartridge. Split pole pins were invented by Ortofon,and were originally presented in the 500 series and Super OM series.

A review in England’sHi-fi Newsmagazinepraised the 2M Red for its “pleasing ambience... intimate, trembling quality...bass in proportion... [and] good detail.\"
