Features
The 2M Red features a tipped Elliptical diamond and split pole pins with a copper wire.
The unique exterior design is both visually pleasing and functional with a size and weight that will work with most turntables.
This version is pre-mounted on a sleek metallic red SH-4 headshell.
An improved engine provides an increased output of 5.5 mV and an optimized sound reproduction and a high level of sonic accuracy.
The cartridge body is manufactured from Hopelex, which ensures high rigidity while
eliminating unwanted resonances and the weight and size to fit the most common turntables on the market today.
The 2M Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.
2M Red is an all-purpose cartridge that delivers open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth.
Stylus lifetime: with proper care we find that up to 1000 hours
is possible without degradation of performance.
