Building on the foundation of the 2M Series, it offers an open and engaging sound with improved clarity compared to entry-level models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2M Series features Ortofon’s trademark split pole pin technology, originally introduced in earlier ranges, which allows moving magnet cartridges to achieve a flatter frequency response similar to moving coil designs. Combined with an improved engine design, the 2M Blue delivers a higher output and a high level of sonic accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cartridge is fitted with a Nude Elliptical diamond stylus, providing precise tracking and improved detail retrieval across the frequency range. This results in a more open sound with greater dynamics and refinement compared to the 2M Red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptimised for ease of installation, the 2M Blue is designed to fit a wide range of turntables and tonearms.
