ORTOFON 2M 78

The 2M 78 cartridge is equipped with a spherical diamond stylus, making it ideal for playing 78 RPM shellac records. These unique records require a wider stylus profile, and the 2M 78 perfectly meets this need, ensuring optimal playback quality while preserving the authenticity of your valuable collection.

The 2M 78 features a strapped output, delivering the same signal from both pairs of poles. This eliminates the need for mono-specific equipment, allowing you to enjoy true mono reproduction on any stereo playback system.

The 2M Series is designed for easy cartridge mounting and is tailored in weight and dimensions to fit the most common turntables available on the market today.
