Designed for listeners seeking a more authentic connection to their records, the 2M Blue combines advanced moving magnet technology with a Nude Elliptical diamond stylus for exceptional accuracy and natural musical reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the 2M Blue is a precision Nude Elliptical diamond mounted to an aluminum cantilever. The nude-mounted stylus offers lower moving mass and more accurate groove tracing than bonded designs, revealing greater detail, improved transient response, and a wider, more spacious soundstage. Ortofon's patented split pole pin technology further enhances performance by producing a remarkably flat frequency response while maintaining the high output and easy compatibility expected from a moving magnet cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned and manufactured in Denmark, the 2M Blue is compatible with the vast majority of modern turntables and serves as a direct upgrade for the 2M Red while maintaining simple installation and outstanding long-term performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#f39c12;\"\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoving Magnet (MM) phono cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNude Elliptical diamond stylus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum cantilever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented split pole pin technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-output 5.5 mV generator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreater detail, dynamics, and resolution than the 2M Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with most modern turntables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned and manufactured in Denmark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#f39c12;\"\u003eDESIGN \u0026amp;
