Stylus
Brings out the best in your mono records
Embark on an Elevated Mono Experience with the 2M Mono Cartridge. Designed to bring out the best in your mono microgroove LP vinyl records, it features a stylus tipped with an R 18µm Nude Spherical diamond. This engineered feature is an optimal solution for playing mono microgroove LP vinyl records and is ideal for achieving exceptional playback quality and capturing the essence of vintage mono soundscapes.
Output
Enjoy true mono
The 2M Mono uses a strapped output to deliver the same output signal from both sets of pole pins. This effectively eliminates the need for mono-specific equipment, making it possible to enjoy true mono reproduction on any stereo playback system.
Compatibility
Universal fit
The 2M Series is designed for easy mounting of the cartridge and for the weight and size to fit the most common turntables on the market today. The 2M Mono is available in three different product variant configurations: 2M, 2M Premounted, for customers who wish direct and easy mounting and replacement on their S-shaped tonearm, and 2M Verso, for bottom mount headshells.

I am no mono cartridge expert, I have 4 mono cartridges under $1000. This cartridge sounds great and competes with all of them.

Bien, mais cher. L'ergonomie du protège stylus le rend quasi inutilisable. Remarque valable pour toute la série 2M D'Otofon.

I Will say this is a very nice cartridge! My mono records sound incredible! They’re also Much quieter, meaning I don’t have any surface noise whatsoever. That being said, that it’s no better than the 2m blue is for stereo records. So I don’t know Why this needle cost so much. I mean c’mon… how many people have mono albums and how many of those people actually go to the lengths of getting a Mono cart?

This is truly a wonderful cartridge! I’m hearing detail I’ve never heard before and a warmth that adds depth and character to my mono recordings. Whether I’m listening to the Beatles mono box set or older jazz albums, I’m experiencing the music as if I’ve never heard it before. Highly recommended!

I returned this cartridge because I wasn’t getting a signal from it. Guess what? A headshell that had previously functioned just fine was to blame (!). Amazon sent a replacement within two days. Only when *that* didn’t produce a signal, either, did I figure things out. I ordered an Ortofon headshell to instill it in, and the result? My mono recordings have never sounded better. Do yourself a favor: order this cartridge AND an Ortofon headshell. You won’t be disappointed.

mounting this cartridge was easy just follow the colors as they appear on the back of the cartridge. After a few necessary weight adjustments I was playing my old 1950s 45 rpm records and they sounded just like they did 60 years ago. I am very happy with this cartridge.Dom.
