2MRED ORTOFON 2M RED CARTRIDGE WITH ELLIPTICAL STYLII

The Ortofon 2M Series was developed together with the Danish designer "Møller Jensen Design" fromCopenhagen, Denmark - the same designer who designed the award winning Jubilee and the Kontrapunkt Moving Coil seriesof cartridges. The 2M series of Moving Magnet cartridges are engineered for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in therecord groove. The Ortofon philosophy is to play the recorded sound as accurately as possible, without colouration of the sound. They have optimised the design for ease of mounting the cartridge to the headshell with weight and size to fit the most common turntableson the market today. Of course the 2M isn't just another pretty face. The 2M series of cartridges feature Ortofon's trademark split pole pins, an invention which enables moving magnet cartridges to have a flat frequency response, as with a moving coil cartridge. Split pole pins were invented by Ortofon, and were originally presented in the 500 series and Super OM series. The 2M Red Series features: an improved engine, which provides an increased outputof 5.5mV a tipped Elliptical diamond andsplit pole pins with acopper wire   What Hi-Fi Choice had to say May 2011 "...Ortofon cartridges are veryinformative...well extended at both frequency extremes...this one seems to fit the pattern... ...The treble is notably clean and tidy, full of life without ever becoming strident or harsh... ...Bass is assured...Tracking very confident..."         Technical data 2M Red   Output voltage at 1000 Hz, 5cm/sec. 5.5 mV Channel balance at 1 kHz 1,5 dB Channel separation at 1 kHz 22 dB Channel separation at 15 kHz 15 dB Frequency range at - 3dB 20-22.000 Hz Frequency response 20-20.000 Hz 3 / - 1 dB Tracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force 70 µm Compliance, dynamic, lateral 20 µm /mN Stylus type Elliptical Stylus tip radius r/R 8/18 m Tracking force range 1.6-2.0g (16-20 mN) Tracking force, recommended 1.8 g (18 µmN) Tracking angle 20° Internal impedance, DC resistance 1.3 kOhm Internal inductance 700 mH Recommended load resistance 47 kOhm Recommended load capacitance 150-300 pF Cartridge colour, body/stylus Black/Red Cartridge weight 7.2 g Replacement stylus unit 2M Red (interchangeable with 2M Blue) Stylus protection guard 2M Red   2M Red accessories included the package:   1 x Stylus brush 1 x Screwdriver 2 x Screw M2,5 x 5 2 x Screw M2,5 x 7   Brochure
