Premium Design

The 2M Bronze features the same specifications as the renowned Ortofon 2M Bronze, except for its reduced height to accommodate tonearms with a low VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle) and no height adjustment.

Equipped with a finely crafted diamond stylus, specially adapted to meet the highest demands, the Fine Line diamond profile allows for precise tracking of high-frequency information. The larger size ensures reduced distortion and record wear. The 2M Bronze’s enhanced special motor features split pole pins with silver-plated copper wire.
