It has long been a go-to choice for turntable owners looking for a simple upgrade that brings more openness, energy and clarity without making system matching complicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA big part of its appeal is the way it combines easy compatibility with a more engaging sound than many entry-level alternatives. Its 5.5mV output makes it an easy partner for standard moving magnet phono stages, while the elliptical diamond stylus helps it track more accurately and pull more detail from the groove than a simpler conical profile. The result is a presentation that feels punchy, musical and easy to enjoy across a wide range of records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2M Red also fits neatly into a sensible upgrade path. The cartridge body can later accept higher-level styli within the 2M family, and the genuine 2M Red replacement stylus is available separately when the original wears out. For anyone wanting a straightforward, well-proven and genuinely musical MM cartridge, the Ortofon 2M Red remains a very strong choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoving magnet design makes it easy to partner with a wide range of standard phono stages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.5mV output offers strong compatibility and healthy signal level in real-world systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElliptical diamond stylus helps deliver cleaner tracking and more detail than many very basic entry-level alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnergetic, open and easy-going sound makes it a strong first upgrade from stock cartridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal fit makes it suitable for a wide range of common turntables and tonearms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgrade path within the 2M range makes long-term ownership more flexible and cost-effective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"hb-ortofon2mred-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: 5.5mV at 1kHz, 5cm\/sec.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20Hz to 20,000Hz +3 \/ -1dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Range at -3dB: 20Hz to 22,000Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel Separation: 22dB at 1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel Balance: 1.5dB at 1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking Ability: 70µm at recommended tracking force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompliance, Dynamic Lateral: 20µm\/mN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal Impedance, DC Resistance: 1.3k Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal Inductance: 700mH\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\u003eStylus Profile: Elliptical diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus Tip Radius: r\/R 8\/18µm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking Force Range: 1.6 to 2.0g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Tracking Force: 1.8g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking Angle: 20°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge Weight: 7.2g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement Stylus: Ortofon 2M Red stylus\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 Red cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrewdriver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus brush\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":21287947173942,"sku":"","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/4606\/3670\/files\/Untitled_3500x3500px_-2026-04-16T120427.392.png?v=1776337522","url":"https:\/\/www.holburnonline.co.uk\/products\/ortofon-2m-red","provider":"Holburn Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
