Ortofon 2MR Mono Moving Magnet Cartridge

The Specialist Mono LPs Deserve: Rega-Ready Ortofon 2MR Mono MM Phono Cartridge Features Nude Spherical Stylus with Requisite Size for Accurate Tracking

Some of the greatest recordings in music continue to be reissued on vinyl in their original mono mixes. Do them justice with the Ortofon 2MR Mono moving-magnet phono cartridge. Designed for Rega setups and equipped with an improved engine to provide accurate playback, 2MR Mono digs deep into the grooves to pull out music you've never heard before. 2MR Mono utilizes a nude spherical stylus with the correct for a cohesive, focused, detailed sound. It plays with low surface noise, lives for retrieving detail, and presents images with pleasing sharpness while avoiding etching or fatigue.

Inside, 2MR Mono uses a strapped output to deliver the same output signal from both sets of pole pins, which effectively eliminates the need for mono-specific equipment and makes it possible to enjoy true mono reproduction on any stereo system.

Built with a specially designed narrow cartridge housing tailored for Rega turntables and tonearms that require low form-factor cartridges, 2MR Mono seamlessly integrates with Rega platforms without any need for modifications or spacers under the tonearm. Best of all, it retains every performance and material characteristic of the original, highly acclaimed 2M Mono. It's also compatible with Ortofon 2M replacement styli and mounts easily and quickly, via two screws.
