Optimised for Mono Playback
Unlike stereo cartridges, the Ortofon 2M Mono is engineered to accurately track the lateral grooves of mono records. Its nude spherical stylus provides excellent groove contact, minimising noise and distortion for pure, focused sound.
Precision Engineering
Utilising Ortofon’s split pole pin technology with a custom engine design, the 2M Mono offers a flat frequency response and superb channel balance. It is fully compatible with both mono-specific and stereo playback equipment, ensuring broad system flexibility.
Elegant 2M Design
Sharing the sleek body style of the 2M range, the 2M Mono is easy to mount and align. Its durable construction, high output, and replaceable stylus make it a long-lasting investment for audiophiles and collectors alike.
