Ortofon 2M Blue Premounted – this is how the popular 2M Blue cartridge with the naked elliptical diamond comes pre-mounted on the SH-4 Black headshell at 52mm overhang (correct Baerwald alignment for universal mounts). The SME connection allows direct mounting via bayonet catch on the S-shaped tone arm.

Before use – to avoid losses in sound quality, even pre-installed cartridges, always according to the manufacturer’s specifications of the turntable as well as the cartridge, must be individually adjusted on the headshell and the tracking force correctly set.

The next level of authenticity with the 2M Blue
Once you start your quest for authenticity, it’s hard to stop, and the 2M Blue is a great step on that journey. The goal of any cartridge should be to reproduce sound as close as possible to the artist’s vision, and the 2M Blue takes you further on that journey of authenticity. The all-diamond stylus is elliptically shaped, and when it hits the groove, it’s like travelling through space and time to the moment the music was recorded. With the 2M Blue, listening to vinyl becomes a real experience.

The Ortofon 2M Blue features a whole elliptical diamond and copper split pole pins. The motor delivers an increased output of 5.5 mV and optimised sound reproduction. It also offers a high level of sonic precision.

The 2M Blue Premounted is designed for easy cartridge mounting, so its weight and size fit most turntables on the market. In addition, the 2M series offers excellent compatibility with a wide range of playback systems and phono preamplifiers.

Sound image – with its bare diamond, the 2M Blue delivers an even more open, dynamic sound with more resolution and reproduces more detail with a slight hint of warmth than the 2M Red.
