2MR Blue low-profile moving magnet cartridge (Single)
The 2M Blue in Ortofon's 2MR housing, 3mm lower for an optimised fit on low-profile turntables, with a nude elliptical diamond. Priced and sold individually.
Description
For an optimised fit on low-profile turntables
The 2MR Blue uses Ortofon's newly developed 2MR housing, with a 3mm height reduction for low-profile turntables and tonearms such as Rega that require a low form-factor cartridge. The slimline body needs no spacers or modifications and mounts quickly with just two screws.
It combines a nude elliptical diamond on an aluminium cantilever with the 2M motor system of quad coils and split pole pins, for a published output of 5.5 mV. The 2MR is compatible with all 2M styli.

Caring for your Speakers and Amplifiers
To Keep your equipment safe these are some best practices to note. Please be advised that this is only to reduce the risk of misuse and is not an exhaustive list.
Speakers
- Speaker terminals are marked red and black, ensure your amplifier to the speakers are wired on the same colours
- Ensure no loose speaker wire from the red touches a loose wire from the black as this will lead to a short circuit and damage either the speaker, the amplifier or both.
- Not all speakers are designed to play at max volume, kindly consider the pairing of your amplifier and speakers
- Speaker cabinets cannot be replaced please handle with care.
AV & Stereo Amplifiers
- If your amplifier has HDMI ports, ensure all devices are off before plugging in the HDMI cable
- Turn off the amplifier before swoping out or adding speaker cable
- Amplifiers generate heat, place them in a well ventilated space. if possible avoid having anything on top of the unit.
- adding a surge protector can assist with power dips which are likely to damage your devices. Isotek and Furman are industry standard.
- Dusty environments can sometimes lead to accumulation of dust in the electronic components that might affect heat regulation
