- Elliptical diamond
- Perfect for entry-level turntables
- Upgrade to 2M Blue possible
Passion in Red
The Ortofon 2M Red is a cartridge for all music genres. It sounds great on any entry-level turntable. The demands for it can certainly be a bit more sophisticated. The Ortofon 2M Blue offers even more dynamics and detail in playback. An upgrade to the higher-quality, due to its nude diamond, Ortofon 2M Blue is possible by mounting the Ortofon Stylus 2M Blue stylus.
With threaded studs (mounting from below).
