Description

Have a Rega Tonearm or Turntable? High-Value Ortofon 2MR Blue MM Phono Cartridge Is Built for Those Applications, Features Nude-Elliptical Stylus

Built with a specially designed narrow cartridge housing tailored for Rega turntables and tonearms that require low form-factor cartridges, Ortofon 2MR Blue MM seamlessly integrates with Rega platforms without any need for modifications or spacers under the tonearm. Best of all, it retains every performance and material characteristic of the original 2M Blue. 

The overachieving 2MR Blue uses the same structures as its award-winning sibling 2MR Red, but adds an upgrade in the form of a highly polished nude-elliptical stylus for better tracking and quieter reproduction. In addition to enhanced resolution and openness, it reaches deeper into your records' grooves. Balanced, controlled, and smooth, 2MR Blue represents one of the biggest analog values on the planet. 

Ortofon's trademark quad-coils motor system and split pole pins enable flat frequency response, just like that of a moving-coil cartridge. Plus, 2MR Blue is compatible with Ortofon 2M replacement styli and mounts easily and quickly, via two screws. 

Highlights
  • The 2M Blue features a Nude Elliptical diamond and split pole pins with a copper wire.
  • Designed for easy mounting of the cartridge, and for the weight and size to 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.
  • The 2M Blue adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open and reproduces more details compared to the 2M Red model.
