It is a cartridge that makes sense in a serious vinyl system where the rest of the turntable, arm and phono stage are capable of letting it show what it can really do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA big part of its appeal comes from the Nude Shibata stylus. This advanced profile gives the cartridge a very broad and precise contact area with the groove walls, helping it retrieve exceptional detail right across the frequency range, including delicate high-frequency information that simpler stylus shapes can miss. The result is a sound that feels highly open, focused and exact, with a strong sense of air and insight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2M Black also uses Ortofon’s split pole pin engine with silver-plated copper wire, helping it deliver the clarity and precision expected from a flagship moving magnet design. For anyone wanting the most analytical, revealing and fully developed cartridge in the core 2M family, the Ortofon 2M Black is a very compelling choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlagship 2M moving magnet design delivers exceptional detail, precision and insight into the recording\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNude Shibata diamond helps retrieve very fine groove information with low distortion and outstanding high-frequency tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplit pole pin engine with silver-plated coil wire is designed to support a highly open and accurate sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5mV output makes it easy to partner with a wide range of standard moving magnet phono stages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent tracking and channel separation help produce a stable, spacious and highly focused stereo image\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA clear step up for listeners wanting maximum performance from a moving magnet cartridge before moving to MC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal fit makes it suitable for a wide range of common turntables and tonearms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the wider 2M family, giving a clear path for stylus replacement and system matching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"hb-ortofon2mblack-panel-2\" class=\"hb-panel\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Moving magnet phono cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Voltage: 5mV at 1kHz, 5cm\/sec.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20Hz to 20,000Hz (+2 \/ -0dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel Separation: 26dB at 1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel Balance: 1dB at 1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking Ability: 80µm at 315Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompliance, Dynamic Lateral: 22µm\/mN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCantilever Material: Aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus Profile: Nude Shibata\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus Tip Radius: r\/R 6\/50µm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoil System: Quad-coils with split pole pins and silver-plated OFC coil wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking Force Range: 1.4 to 1.7g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Tracking Force: 1.5g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking Angle: 20°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal Impedance, DC Resistance: 1.2k Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal Inductance: 630mH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Load Resistance: 47k Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Load Capacitance: 150 to 300pF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge Body Material: Polymer and aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge Colour: Black \/ Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge Weight: 7.2g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrtofon 2M Black cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ortofon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21287974961206,"sku":"","price":499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/4606\/3670\/files\/Untitled_3500x3500px_-2026-04-16T121538.725.png?v=1776338239","url":"https:\/\/www.holburnonline.co.uk\/products\/ortofon-2m-black","provider":"Holburn Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
