{"product_id":"ortofon-hifi-hifi-2m-black-verso-387920","title":"2M BLACK VERSO","description":"\u003ch3\u003eTop of the line in the 2M series, designed to extract the maximum from your vinyl records\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2MR Black belongs to the 2M family, a range known for offering high-performance MM phono cartridges, with progressively improved quality depending on the diamond profile. In this 2MR version, the cartridge weight is specified at \u003cstrong\u003e6 g\u003c\/strong\u003e, a practical format for many turntable setups. The choice of a Nude Shibata diamond clearly reflects its high-end positioning: the goal is to track the groove with maximum precision, minimizing distortion and enhancing the reproduction of fine details.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother strong point: the compatibility logic within the series, which allows for maintenance or upgrades via a replacement stylus without starting from scratch. This is a real everyday advantage for heavy listeners who want to maintain a stable performance level over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor which listeners and turntables?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cartridge is primarily aimed at \u003cstrong\u003edemanding audiophiles\u003c\/strong\u003e and vinyl enthusiasts who want to step up in terms of definition, soundstage, and groove tracking. It is particularly suited for careful domestic listening on stereo hi-fi systems, where detailed reproduction of vocals, transients (string attacks, percussion), and room ambiance is sought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its \u003cstrong\u003e5 mV output voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e, the 2MR Black pairs easily with most MM standard phono preamps. However, its Shibata Line Contact diamond favors finesse and precision: it is therefore ideal for listening, less so for intensive DJ use (back-cueing, scratching), which typically requires cartridges oriented towards robustness and mechanical durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2MR Black is based on an \u003cstrong\u003eMM (moving magnet)\u003c\/strong\u003e architecture and adopts a \u003cstrong\u003eNude Line Contact Shibata stylus\u003c\/strong\u003e. This stylus shape increases the effective contact surface with the groove, generally improving high-frequency playback, distortion reduction, and stability on complex passages. The cartridge offers a \u003cstrong\u003efrequency response of 20-20,000 Hz (+2 \/ -0 dB)\u003c\/strong\u003e for balanced reproduction, as well as a \u003cstrong\u003echannel separation\u003c\/strong\u003e rated at \u003cstrong\u003e26 dB at 1 kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e (and \u003cstrong\u003e15 dB at 15 kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e ), to preserve stereo openness and panning accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding adjustments, the tracking force range of \u003cstrong\u003e1.4 to 1.7 g\u003c\/strong\u003e (recommended \u003cstrong\u003e1.5 g\u003c\/strong\u003e ) facilitates optimization according to your tonearm and turntable. The electrical matching remains simple: \u003cstrong\u003e47 kOhm\u003c\/strong\u003e recommended load resistance and \u003cstrong\u003e150-300 pF\u003c\/strong\u003e capacitance, common values for MM cartridges. Finally, the stylus lifespan can reach \u003cstrong\u003e1000 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e with proper maintenance, a key point for heavy vinyl users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
