Beschrijving
Het Ortofon 2M Black MM element (moving Magnet) uit de 2M reeks is het topmodel en beschikt over de Naakt Shibata Diamond.
Geïnspireerd door de facetten van een diamant heeft de Deense ontwerper Møller Jensen de 2M Series vormgegeven.
De serie van MM elementen bestaat uit de Red, Blue, Bronze en Black die allen zonder kleuring in weergave zo precies mogelijk de groeven op het vinyl uitlezen.
De Red is het instapmodel en de Black is het topmodel van de 2M Series.
Features
– The 2M Black is graced with a Shibata diamond which slim, highly polished profile allows an exceedingly wide contact area to the groove walls and ensures notably detailed reproduction throughout the spectrum, including even the most high frequency groove information.
– The cartridge body is manufactured from Hopelex, an environment-friendly material which ensures high rigidity while eliminating unwanted resonances.
– The 2M Black uses a special upgraded engine, featuring split pole pins with a silver plated copper wire.
We have optimized the design for ease of mounting the cartridge, and the weight and size to fit the most common turntables on the market today. The 2M Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.
The 2M Black Verso model is an alternative product for bottom mount headshells

Exploring the Ortofon 2M Lineup
Marc Mickelson of the Audio Beat wrote about the Ortofon 2M Line in his review of August 2016:
“…The 2M line has become a de facto reference for moving-magnet cartridges…
It is due to both the sound quality of the various 2M models as well as the wide price range across the line…
The differences among the four stereo 2M models occur in three primary areas: stylus profile, body material, and engine …”
Please watch this amazing video to better understand the concept of the Ortofon 2M Line and the technical configuration of each cartridge in the series >>
The 2M Series is designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove
The 2M Series is developed in conjunction with the Danish Industrial designer Møller Jensen Design – the same designer who designed the award winning MC Jubilee and Kontrapunkt series. Inspired by the facets of a diamond, whose contours gracefully trace the grooves on a record’s surface, the 2M’s handsome elegance establishes a great combination of form and functionality.
The name 2M was selected from among several ideas. We wanted a modern name that would be easy to pronounce and remember, and therefore an alphanumerical name was chosen. 2M means MM, which is the abbreviation for moving magnet.
Of course the 2M isn’t just another pretty face. It has been engineered to the highest standards and is congruent with Ortofon’s unrelenting commitment to providing the most precise and accurate reproduction possible without coloration.
Each of the 2M Series cartridges has its own individual sonic expression, and all five models together represent the ensemble of five classic variations:
- 2M Mono SE, 2M Mono and 2M 78 are a true mono cartridges for playing mono vinyl records
- 2M Red is an all-purpose cartridge that delivers open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth
- 2M Blue adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open and reproduces more details
- 2M Bronze adds even more details and resolution but in a very evenhanded way that pays respect to all elements
- 2M Black is the best of everything, true to the groove with resolution and accurate insight into each recording
The 2M series of cartridges features Ortofon’s trademark split pole pins, an invention that enables moving magnet cartridges to have a flat frequency response, as with a moving coil cartridge. Split pole pins were invented by Ortofon, and were originally presented in the 500 series and OM Super series.
We have optimized the design for ease of mounting the cartridge, and the weight and size to fit the most common turntables on the market today. The 2M Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.

2M Black Reviews’ quotes
Hi-Fi Choice, September 2020
Group test
“…Everything about the 2M Black is well thought out…
…The 2M Black sounds excellent across a wide range of programme material, with a distinctively ‘clean’ Ortofon sound that has tremendous detail resolving capability…
…It goes to work on the recorded acoustic, setting it up tidily with lots of atmosphere stretching right back to the edges of the concert hall…
…It is very good at expressing the emotion in the lead vocal and capturing the dynamic
nuances in the track overall…”
TNT Audio, April 2016
Reviewer: Graeme Budd
“…the Ortofon’s strengths in detail, imaging, tracking and neutrality make for a compelling case. If you’re looking for a cartridge in this price range, be it MM or MC, it should definitely be on your shortlist.”
Hi-Fi News Yearbook 2011
“…When set-up, the Ortofon 2M Black was immediately engaging, sounding powerful and vivid…
…it was natural recordings of full orchestra that confirmed that the 2M Black is a stellar moving-magnet cartridge…
…The 2M Black delivers a holographic imagery worthy of the most sophisticated vinyl replay systems.”

The Audio Beat, August 2016
Exploring Ortofon’s 2M Lineup
by Marc Mickelson
“…The 2M line has become a de facto reference for moving-magnet cartridges…it is due to both the sound quality of the various 2M models as well as the wide price range across the line… The differences among the four stereo 2M models occur in three primary areas: stylus profile, body material, and engine …
… The 2M Black is “open, fast, detailed, vivid, full of vitality and sonically spectacular.” It is a true high-resolution transducer that consequently puts great demands on the downstream electronics and speakers…
…On the other end, the 2M Red is far more forgiving than the 2M Black, but also less involving, at least in the context of my system (the turntable is a Technics SP-15 with an Audio-Technica ATP-12T tonearm, both in a Technics SH-15B2 base – red.)…
…with the 2M Blue …you get the audiophile treatment: a full-range, highly resolving presentation that sounds neither stiff nor unforgiving. In fact, the 2M Blue’s balance, both tonally and in terms of overall resolution, may be its greatest feat. It’s an easy cartridge to listen to, and even novice listeners…
…While the 2M Black sounds more immediately impressive, the 2M Bronze is the more satisfying over the long haul, halving the difference between the Black’s speed and resolution and the Blue’s balance. In fact… it is a mixture of all of these sonic virtues. It’s fast, but not ostentatiously so; it turns information into music, and it does this because it is better balanced, neither leaning in one sonic direction or another. I would say that it represents not just the 2M line’s sweet spot but also its musical core. …”
