A Reference in the 2M Range to Enhance Vinyl Listening
The 2M Bronze is part of a range designed to get the best out of your records, focusing on fine tracking and detail reproduction. Its Line Contact profile, renowned for extended groove reading, aims for more nuanced timbre reproduction and better instrument separation. It is a coherent choice for stepping up listening quality while remaining on an easy-to-integrate MM (moving magnet) architecture.
Who Is It For, and In What Uses?
This cartridge is aimed at demanding vinyl turntable enthusiasts, audiophiles seeking definition, and users who want a significant improvement in playback without switching to an MC cartridge. It is particularly suitable for hi-fi listening at home (living room, dedicated room) and vinyl digitization, where tracking precision and stereo stability make a difference. Its output level and recommended load facilitate pairing with many systems, from carefully crafted hi-fi setups to more versatile installations.
Features and Innovations
As a MM (moving magnet) type, the 2M Bronze offers an output voltage of 5 mV (at 1000 Hz, 5 cm/sec), convenient for maintaining a good level without pushing gain. The Line Contact nude diamond favors a finer and longer contact with the groove to improve high-frequency reading and transient reproduction. The specified frequency response of 20 to 20,000 Hz (+2 / -0 dB) and channel separation values (26 dB at 1 kHz) aim for a more open soundstage and better focus.
Implementation remains simple: recommended load of 47 kOhm and load capacitance of 150-300 pF, common standards for MM cartridges. Regarding adjustments, the recommended tracking force (1.5 g) and range of 1.4 to 1.7 g allow precise setup according to your tonearm and turntable. Finally, the mentioned interchangeability compatibility with certain diamonds from the 2M series (Black and Black LVB 250) opens an upgrade path without changing the entire cartridge body.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Ortofon Hifi 2MR Bronze cartridge compatible with an MM phono input?
This moving magnet cartridge requires a load of 47 kOhm and a capacitance between 150 and 300 pF. Its output voltage of 5 mV at 1 kHz makes it easy to pair with an MM phono input.
What stylus diamond does this vinyl cartridge have?
The diamond is a naked Line Contact profile tip, with an r/R radius of 8/40 µm. This profile ensures extended contact with the groove for detailed high-frequency playback.
What tracking force should be set on the 2MR Bronze?
The recommended tracking force is 1.5 g, or 15 mN. The allowed adjustment range extends from 1.4 to 1.7 g. The indicated tracking angle is 20°.
Can the diamond be replaced with a model from the 2M Black series?
Interchangeability compatibility is announced with the 2M Black and 2M Black LVB 250 diamonds. This option allows an upgrade without replacing the cartridge body.
Is the 2MR Bronze suitable for digitizing vinyl records?
Its channel separation reaches 26 dB at 1 kHz and the channel balance is specified at 1 dB. These values, combined with a tracking ability of 80 µm at 315 Hz, meet the precise tracking needs for digitization.
