The Ortofon 2M series of moving-magnet cartridges (“2M” refers to the two Ms in “moving-magnet”) was developed by the same designer responsible for the legendary Ortofon Jubilee and Kontrapunkt cartridges. The Ortofon 2M Bronze is the third model in the range, and features a nude fine line stylus.
The 2M series is the latest edition in Ortofon’s long history of great moving-magnet cartridges.
Press Reviews
“The 2M Bronze is distinctive, that’s for sure—and sounds unlike rivals. With modern LPs in particular, which are often on the warm side of the fence in terms of their balance, it is fast, detailed and insightful. Bass comes across as light, but tight….”
“More than with most cartridges we’ve tested, we found that the sound from the 2M Bronze really gained cohesion and warmth following bedding-in. Tonally it’s highly neutral, with treble, midrange and bass being neatly balanced. The treble is especially crisp, and you get a very detailed sound as a result.”
