With the 2MR line, Ortofon have considerately expanded their most popular line to account for those who listen with Rega (or similar) turntables, which previously required tedious and expensive add-ons to make the 2M series compatible. These 2MR models make those listener's lives just a bit easier, all while maintaining the standards they set for sound quality \u0026amp; pricing.\" - TTL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e🔎TECH SPECS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003especs for the \u003cstrong\u003e2MR RED\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoutput voltage: 5.5mV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efrequency response: 20 ~ 20Hz +3\/-1dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etracking force range: 1.6 ~ 2.0g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etracking force recommended: 1.8g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etracking angle: 20 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eweight: 6g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eheight: 14mm, or ~.55\" (just under 9\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ereplacement stylus:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.com\/products\/ortofon-stylus-for-2m-red\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eOrtofon 2M Red Stylus\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e📦COMES WITH\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x stylus brush (\u003cstrong\u003e2MR Black\u003c\/strong\u003e comes with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.com\/products\/ortofon-stylus-brush\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCarbon Fiber Brush\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.com\/products\/ortofon-stylus-pressure-gauge\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e Stylus Pressure Gauge\u003c\/a\u003e (\u003cstrong\u003e2MR Bronze, Black, Mono + 78 \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eonly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x screwdriver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emounting screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ortofon","offers":[{"title":"Blue \/ Cert9","offer_id":41065344237658,"sku":"bst-cr-432-cert9","price":209.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/Ortofon_2MR_Blue_Tilt_Left_01_0a227a16-f6ae-4286-bb71-631562a83240.png?v=1715117956","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.com\/products\/ortofon-2mr-low-profile-cartridge-for-rega-turntables-open-box-special","provider":"TurntableLab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
