2M Blue adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open and reproduces more details than 2M Red.
- an improved engine, which provides an increased output of 5.5mV and an optimized sound reproduction and a high level of sonic accuracy
- Nude Elliptical diamond and split pole pins with a copper wire
