A homage to Beethoven

The Ortofon 2M Black LVB 250 is a refined development of the 2M Black, created to mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven. While it shares the same nude Shibata diamond stylus profile as the standard 2M Black, the LVB 250 introduces a key mechanical upgrade in the form of a boron cantilever. This material, valued for its exceptional stiffness and low mass, allows the stylus to follow the record groove with greater control and precision. As a result, the 2M Black LVB 250 offers clarity, stability, and a high degree of resolution, while retaining the practical advantages of a moving magnet design. Its performance has been recognised by the Expert Imaging and Sound Association (EISA), which awarded it Best Phono Cartridge 2021–2022.

Broad compatibility

Despite its reference-level positioning, the 2M Black LVB 250 is compatible with a wide range of turntables and tonearms fitted with a standard headshell, including widely used models such as the Technics SL-1200 series. Its moving magnet design ensures compatibility with standard MM phono preamplifiers, while the refined suspension system and low-mass boron cantilever support accurate and stable tracking. The resulting presentation is detailed and well controlled, with an extended frequency range of 20Hz to 31kHz. A discreet monochrome portrait of Ludwig van Beethoven is printed on the cartridge body, serving as a subtle visual reference to the famous composer.

The best of both worlds

In a high-quality analogue playback system, the phono cartridge is responsible for converting the mechanical information stored in the record groove into an electrical signal. In the 2M Black LVB 250, Ortofon has focused on reducing moving mass while maintaining a high level of mechanical stability at the stylus and cantilever assembly. Compared to the standard 2M Black, the use of a boron cantilever and a refined suspension system improves control over stylus movement, supporting more accurate tracking and lower distortion. These design choices combine the practical advantages of a moving magnet cartridge with a level of resolution and transient precision more commonly associated with moving coil designs. As with other cartridges of this sensitivity, it is intended for careful handling and critical listening rather than DJ use or applications involving heavy cueing.

About Ortofon

Founded in Denmark in 1918 by engineers Axel Petersen and Arnold Poulsen, Ortofon has been at the forefront of phono technology for more than a century. The company introduced its first magnetic pickup system, the M-15, in 1969, marking a major milestone in cartridge design. In 1982, Ortofon launched the now-iconic Concorde series, whose futuristic design went on to become a regular fixture in clubs and broadcast environments worldwide. Today, Ortofon designs and manufactures a comprehensive range of moving magnet and moving coil cartridges, covering everything from accessible hi-fi solutions to uncompromising high-end systems for the most demanding listeners.

Marvellous moving magnets

The Ortofon 2M Black LVB 250 is particularly well suited to the playback of high-quality acoustic recordings, where its precise tracking and low distortion allow subtle tonal variations and dynamic contrasts to be reproduced with clarity. Its transparent and controlled presentation supports critical listening and detailed evaluation of recordings, making it a strong choice for demanding hi-fi systems. Despite its high level of resolution, the 2M Black LVB 250 remains straightforward to install and use, and can be fitted as a replacement cartridge on a wide range of compatible turntables.

In the spotlight: Moving Magnet vs. Moving Coil

In a moving magnet (MM) cartridge, sound is generated by a small magnet that moves in close proximity to a fixed set of coils. This design typically offers a higher output level and allows the stylus to be replaced by the user, while remaining compatible with a wide range of phono preamplifiers. Moving coil (MC) cartridges operate on the inverse principle, with tiny coils moving within a magnetic field. Their very low moving mass can support particularly fine tracking and transient response, but usually comes with lower output levels and more demanding system requirements. The 2M Black LVB 250 has been engineered to narrow the traditional performance gap between these two approaches. By combining a low-mass boron cantilever with a carefully tuned suspension, it improves tracking accuracy and resolution within a moving magnet architecture, while retaining the practical advantages associated with MM designs.
