Enjoy Your Old 78RPM Records with an MM Cartridge Made to Play Them: Ortofon 2M 78 Has the Larger Stylus Profile They Need to Sound Their Best
Break out your old 78s and hear them the way they were meant to be played with the Ortofon 2M 78 MM phono cartridge. Equipped with an improved engine to provide a high level of sonic accuracy and dynamic thrust, 2M 78 will re-introduce you to some of your favorite older recordings. Because 78RPM records require a larger stylus profile for accurate playback, the 2M 78 features a spherical diamond stylus to ensure that you won't miss a beat.
The Hopelex cartridge body on 2M 78 delivers ensures high rigidity while eliminating unwanted resonances. This cartridge also uses a strapped output to deliver the same output signal from both sets of pole pins, effectively eliminating the need for mono-specific equipment and making it possible to enjoy mono reproduction on any stereo system.
