Ortofon 2MR Bronze Cartridge

The Ortofon 2MR Bronze is a premium Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge engineered for listeners who prioritize musical nuance, layered soundstaging, and realistic instrument separation. The "R" series features a reduced height housing (3 mm shorter than the standard 2M), making it the perfect "plug-and-play" upgrade for Rega turntables and low-profile setups where precision alignment is critical for sound quality.

The 2MR Bronze is defined by its transparency and fluid musicality. While the 2MR Blue is punchy and energetic, the Bronze is more refined and three-dimensional. It excels at reproducing vocal textures and orchestral layering, providing a sophisticated, fatigue-free listening experience that reveals the hidden depths of your vinyl.

KEY FEATURES

• Nude Fine Line Stylus: The Bronze features a sophisticated Fine Line diamond profile. Its slim shape allows it to track even the highest frequency modulations with ease, while its large vertical contact area ensures incredibly low distortion and reduced record wear.
• Specialized 2MR Low-Profile Body: Designed specifically for tonearms without VTA adjustment. This lower-profile housing ensures the cartridge sits at the perfect parallel angle to the record, delivering optimal frequency response without the need for aftermarket shims.
• Silver-Plated Copper Wiring: The internal generator uses high-conductivity silver-plated copper coils, ensuring a transparent signal path that captures the delicate "air" and harmonic overtones of your favorite recordings.
• Split Pole Pin Technology: A signature Ortofon innovation that enables Moving Magnet cartridges to have a flat frequency response similar to high-end Moving Coil models.
• Seamless Upgrade Path: The 2MR Bronze body is interchangeable with the 2M/2MR Black stylus, allowing you to easily upgrade to a Shibata diamond in the future without replacing the entire cartridge.
