Ortofon 2MR Bronze Cartridge

A key component in any turntable setup is the cartridge and stylus. Ortofon cartridges are known for their ability to precisely read groove data on vinyl records and convert it into a high-quality analogue signal. This Ortofon 2MR cartridges exemplifies Ortofon's expertise in professional audio equipment, offering premium sound output through its sophisticated design and advanced technical specifications.

The "R"  

The 2MR ("R" for “Reduced”) boasts all the same features as the standard 2M range, but makes use of a cartridge body with reduced ride height. The result of this reduction is improved compatibility with popular tonearms and turntables that require a lower-profile cartridge, like Rega. 

Bronze

The Ortofon 2MR Bronze features a nude fine line diamond stylus that captures exceptional detail from vinyl grooves, delivering a nuanced sound experience. Its advanced engine provides a high output of 5.5mV, ensuring dynamic and accurate sound reproduction. The split pole pin technology, inspired by moving coil designs, offers a flat frequency response and strong tracking ability, reducing distortion and preserving the integrity of your records.

Upgradability

Additionally, the 2MR Bronze is designed to be upgraded to, and to be easily swapped to, allowing easy enhancement from lower-tier models without needing to change the entire setup. Its universal fit ensures compatibility with a wide range of turntables, and the easy installation process makes it accessible to both seasoned audiophiles and newcomers to the vinyl world.
