Ortofon 2M Bronze Moving Magnet Cartridge
Bring more detail, precision and clarity to your vinyl collection with the Ortofon 2M Bronze Moving Magnet Cartridge. Designed for music lovers who want to get more from their turntable, the 2M Bronze delivers an impressive level of detail, revealing subtle elements in recordings that can easily go unnoticed with lesser cartridges. Sitting just below the flagship 2M Black in Ortofon's popular 2M range, it offers a noticeable step up in sound quality, with improved resolution, accurate tracking and reduced distortion.
At the heart of the 2M Bronze is a Nude Fine Line diamond stylus, carefully shaped to follow the record groove with greater precision. Its narrow profile helps retrieve fine musical details while maintaining consistent tracking, including towards the inner grooves where distortion can become more noticeable. The larger contact area also helps distribute pressure across the groove, reducing unnecessary record wear.
The cartridge features Ortofon's upgraded moving magnet engine with Split Pole Pins and silver-plated copper wiring. This carefully designed arrangement helps deliver a balanced frequency response, with enhanced high-frequency detail and a more natural presentation. Its rigid Lexan DMX Piano Black body is engineered to minimise unwanted resonances, helping keep playback clean and controlled.
Whether you're listening to familiar albums or discovering new details in your favourite recordings, the Ortofon 2M Bronze is a worthwhile turntable cartridge upgrade for anyone looking to take their vinyl listening experience further.
Nude Fine Line Diamond Stylus
The Ortofon 2M Bronze features a precision Nude Fine Line diamond stylus that follows the record groove with exceptional accuracy. Its fine profile helps pick up subtle musical information, delivering improved detail and high-frequency performance. The extended contact area also helps reduce record wear and maintain accurate tracking across the playing surface.
Improved Moving Magnet Engine
Ortofon's advanced moving magnet engine incorporates Split Pole Pin technology to help achieve a flat, balanced frequency response. Combined with the silver-plated copper wiring, it provides improved high-frequency performance, greater clarity and more accurate reproduction of complex musical passages.
Rigid, Low-Resonance Cartridge Body
Built using Lexan DMX Piano Black, the 2M Bronze has a rigid cartridge body designed to minimise unwanted vibrations and resonances. This helps reduce distortion and allows more of the original recording's detail to come through, resulting in cleaner and more focused playback.
A Worthwhile Turntable Upgrade
The Ortofon 2M Bronze is an excellent upgrade for compatible turntables fitted with a Moving Magnet cartridge and phono stage. Its revealing sound, precise tracking and refined construction make it a strong choice for dedicated vinyl listeners. The removable stylus also makes future replacement straightforward, allowing you to change the stylus without replacing the entire cartridge.
