Ortofon 2MR Bronze Moving Magnet Cartridge

Ortofon 2MR Bronze Moving-Magnet Phono Cartridge Is a Precise Tracker, Plays with Even-Handed Character and Features Low Form Factor for Rega Setups

Featuring a specially designed narrow cartridge housing tailored for Rega turntables and tonearms that require low form-factor cartridges, Ortofon 2MR Bronze MM 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 2M Bronze.

As the middle child in Ortofon's exceptional 2MR Series, 2MR Bronze may represent the line's finest overall value and takes a backseat to none of its siblings. Equipped with a nude fine-line stylus with a slim profile designed to track high-frequency modulations, 2MR Bronze makes for a spectacular choice for listeners who love demanding material, rock, and electronic fare. Even-handed, controlled, and detailed, it performs what you might think are magic tricks when it comes to separation, clarity, and a pleasing touch of warmth.

Inside, Ortofon's trademark quad-coils motor system and split pole pins enable flat frequency response, just like that of a moving-coil cartridge. Plus, 2MR Bronze is compatible with Ortofon 2M replacement styli and mounts easily and quickly, via two screws.

Features

The 2M Bronze features a Nude Fine Line diamond, which is particularly suited for demanding applications. The slim profile of the Fine Line stylus will track even the highest frequency information. Additionally, its larger footprint ensures reduced distortion and record wear. The 2M Bronze uses a special upgraded engine, featuring split pole pins with a silver plated copper wire.

We have optimized the design for ease of mounting the cartridge, 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.
