Moving magnets and nude diamonds

The Ortofon 2M Blue is a high-quality turntable cartridge that delivers a clean, balanced and transparent sound. The nude diamond stylus, with its fine elliptical cut, tracks the record's groove with great precision, and offers an unusually wide frequency response of 20Hz to 25kHz. Thanks to its moving magnet design, the 2M Blue is broadly compatible with standard MM phono preamplifiers. With careful maintenance, Ortofon estimates a service life of up to 1,000 hours without any noticeable loss of sound quality. A cleaning brush, headshell screws, and a screwdriver are included in the package.

Give your vinyl a voice

The Ortofon 2M Blue strikes a convincing balance between high resolution and musical dynamics. Experienced listeners will immediately appreciate the fine detail it reveals, particularly when it comes to spatial imaging and separation. Vocals, in particular, benefit from the clarity and precision of the nude elliptical diamond, which renders the most subtle textures with ease. Thanks to its accurate and consistent tracking, the 2M Blue provides a stable foundation for the rest of the hi-fi chain, allowing associated components to perform at their best. In short, the 2M Blue's remarkable sonic character invites listeners to rediscover the pleasures of vinyl playback.

A winner in the studio

While most audiophiles will naturally use the 2M Blue in a hi-fi listening setup, it can also prove effective in a studio context. Its precise tracking and balanced tonal response make it well suited to vinyl digitisation and reference listening, where clarity and consistency are essential. Mounted on a standard headshell, the 2M Blue can be fitted in seconds to any turntable with a bayonet mount, such as a Technics SL-1200. That said, it is not designed for live DJ use or heavy cueing, as more rugged cartridge systems are better suited to those demands than the comparatively delicate 2M Blue.

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.

An easy upgrade from Red to Blue

The Ortofon 2M Blue is of particular interest to users whose record players are already fitted with a 2M Red, as both cartridges share identical coils and magnet configurations. This allows the stylus to be upgraded directly, without any further adjustments. Supplied with a bonded diamond, the 2M Red is a reliable, precise and affordable cartridge, and comes fitted as standard on many manufacturers' turntables. For listeners looking to extract more detail and nuance from their records, the 2M Blue offers a clear and worthwhile step up: Its nude diamond stylus improves tracking accuracy and resolution at the most critical point in the playback chain – the contact between record and cartridge.

In the spotlight: Nude diamonds

When a phono cartridge is described as featuring a nude diamond, this means the stylus is made from a single piece of diamond attached directly to the cantilever. Compared to a bonded diamond design – where only the tip is diamond and the rest of the stylus is metal – a nude diamond assembly has significantly lower mass. This reduced weight allows the stylus to follow the record groove with greater precision, resulting in more dynamic and detailed sound reproduction. The lower mass also helps minimise wear, both on the cartridge itself and on the vinyl.

Great performance
Rickback 15.05.2022
Upgraded from ortofon om 10 to this 2m blue, I had read a lot of reviews about this cartridge so I thought I’d try for myself. I wasn’t disappointed, the sound reproduction is top notch, it’s like I’ve bought a whole new system.

Aus alt mach neu
black-turntable 02.02.2021
Als Ersatz für ein AT110E auf einem Pioneer PL-10 im EInsatz. Passt perfekt und wertet den alten Plattendreher massiv auf. Montage an der Original Headshell problemlos mit den beigelegten Schrauben möglich. Klanglich sehr ausgewogen mit klaren, aber nicht nervenden Höhen sowie knackigen Bässen. Reagiert ziemlich unempfindlich auf Kratzer. Bin voll begeistert. :-)

Ortofon 2M Blue
metdoe 01.01.2021
reçu cette cellule dans les temps prévus ; RAS
finition matérielle exemplaire ;
en remplacement d'une Shure V15 III en " fin de carrière " cette 2M Blue donne un grave plus précis, moins touffu ;
les médiums semblent identiques à ma précédente cellule ;
les aigus sont par contre beaucoup plus détaillés, sans être agressifs ;
très satisfait de mon achat ;
