Description

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Ortofon 2M 78 Verso Moving Magnet Cartridge boasts a refined motor which yields a high degree of sonic accuracy. The stylus tip is a spherical diamond that is ideally suited for the playback of 78 rpm shellac records. Which necessitate a larger stylus profile. The cartridge body is made of Hopelex. Which guarantees high rigidity while getting rid of unwanted resonances.

Ortofon 2M 78 Verso Moving Magnet Cartridge

Ortofon 2M 78 Verso has a strapped output that gives the same output signal from both sets of pole pins. This basically removes the necessity of mono-specific gear. Thus, allowing the real mono reproduction to be experienced on any stereo playback system. The Ortofon 2M 78 Verso is designed to be highly compatible with different playback systems and a wide range of phono ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌preamps

2M​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Series styli are specifically designed for a very close fit to reduce the vibrations coupled. Therefore to deliver more accurate sound reproduction. Physically 2M styli will fit on other 2M cartridges bodies. But 2M Series cartridges’ engines, coils and magnets layouts are slightly different. Red and Blue are the same, as are the Bronze and Black as well as the true mono 2M Mono and 2M 78.

Lifespan At Least 2000 Hours

It is a well-known fact that if you take good care of your stylus you can expect it to last up to 1,000 hours without any noticeable loss in performance according to Ortofon. After 1,000 hours the stylus will slowly start to show some wear. But the whole stylus lifespan is estimated to reach 2,000 hours. Copying well the following instructions is a good ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌start:

Simple Installation

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ 2M Series was a collaboration with the Danish Industrial designer. Who is also the designer of the award winning MC Jubilee series. The 2M’s elegance, inspired by the diamond contours. Is a fine combination of form and functionality.

2M was chosen as a fresh name that is simple to say and remember and is a play on the abbreviation of moving magnet (MM). 2M is built with the greatest care and is a reflection of Ortofon’s continuous dedication to offering the most faithful and accurate musical reproduction possible without adding any ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌coloration.

  • Long-lasting Build: It is economical as it saves money compared to replacement. And reliable for an extended period of its usage
  • Optimal Sound Reproduction: With outstanding sound reproduction and enhanced clarity. That brings out the best sonic effects.
  • Adverse Effects Minimised: Lower background noise equals a more precise sound.

Summary of Ortofon 2M 78 Verso

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ already existing line of 2M cartridges had best illustrated rapidly the definition of what a good moving magnet cartridge should be. Or, put it another way: from the entry-level Red. Through to the top-of-the-range Black. 2M has become a household name in moving magnet technology.

Outstanding Sound Reproduction

2012 is the year when Ortofon takes basically the same design principle of 2M and opens up new markets. 2M 78 and 2M Mono give users of old, rare vinyl records the possibility of playback of a quality level. Which is higher than that of the medium used before.

Enhanced Musicality

The new 2M 78 is equipped with an upgraded True Mono mechanism that boosts the stereo to an unprecedented level of fidelity. Besides that, cutting in really sharp spherical diamond. Which is great for 78rpm records playing using record stylus with bigger size in profile.

Provides enhanced musicality to the recordings. 78s are a piece of special vinyl requiring a bigger surface from the needle. Which is why the burning of signals with a 78 rpm stylus necessitates a profile that is larger in ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌size.
