Ortofon 2M Blue Verso

The 2M Blue Verso is designed specifically for bottom mount headshells, making it an ideal solution for turntables that require mounting from underneath the headshell.

The goal for any cartridge should be to reproduce the sound as close to the artist's vision as possible, and the 2M Blue takes you further on this journey of authenticity. With the 2M Blue, you get serious about listening to vinyl.

The cartridge features a nude elliptical diamond stylus, which delivers improved detail, precision, and tracking performance, resulting in a more refined and engaging listening experience.

Stylus

The Nude diamond is cut in an Elliptical shape, and when it hits the groove, it is like travelling through both space and time to the very moment the music was recorded.

Compatibility

Created to facilitate simple installation of the cartridge and to ensure compatibility with the dimensions and weights of today's most popular turntables, the 2M Series offers four distinct product versions:

The 2M is for most common turntables on the market, the 2M Premounted for customers who wish direct and easy mounting and replacement on their S-shaped tonearm, the 2M Verso for bottom mount headshells, and the 2MR, which is designed with cartridge housing tailored for turntables and tonearms like Rega, matching their requirement for low-form factor cartridges.

Features

The 2M Blue features Ortofon’s very own invention and trademark: split pole pins. An invention that enables moving magnet cartridges to have a flat frequency response as with a moving coil cartridge.

In this video, you will learn about four cartridge technologies, including the split pole pin technology. Leif Johannsen, Ortofon's Chief Officer of Acoustics and Research, explains how the technology works by reducing the loss of energy and hereby the loss of the musical signal.

The engine provides an increased output of 5.5 mV optimized sound reproduction and a high level of sonic accuracy. The 2M Blue adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open, and reproduces more details compared to the 2M Red model.
