The Ortofon 2M Bronze features a nude Fine-Line stylus,
polished to the highest standards. The slimmer profile of this stylus will
track even the highest frequency modulations, making this cartridge better
suited for extremely demanding material. Surface noise is kept to a minimum due
the stylus profile. Distortion and record wear are substantially reduced. The
Bronze is serious bargain at this price.
The 2M series of cartridges feature Ortofon's trademark
split pole pins, an invention which enables moving magnet cartridges to have
flat frequency response, just like a moving coil cartridge. Ortofon invented the Split pole pin technology
and were originally offered in the 500 series and Super OM series.
The 2M series was developed in conjunction with Danish
designer Møller Jensen Design – the same designer who designed the award
winning MC Jubilee and very successful Kontrapunkt series. Inspired by the facets of a diamond, whose
contours gracefully trace the grooves on a record's surface, the 2M's handsome
elegance establishes a great combination of form and functionality.
The 2M series is designed for precise and accurate retrieval
of the information in the record groove. Ortofon's philosophy is to make
cartridges which reproduce the record grooves as accurately as possible,
without coloring the sound. The 2M series design has been optimized for ease of
mounting and their weight and size fit virtually any current turntable.
The name 2M was selected among several ideas. Ortofon wanted
a modern name which would be both easy to pronounce and to remember, therefore
an alpha numerical name was chosen. Mathematically 2M can be also represented
as MM, which also happens to be the abbreviation for moving magnet.
Of course the 2M isn't just another pretty face. Engineered
to the highest standards the 2M series follows Ortofon's unrelenting commitment
to providing the most precise and accurate reproduction possible without
coloration.
