{"product_id":"ortofon-2m-mono-cartridge","title":"Ortofon 2M Mono Cartridge","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Ortofon 2M Mono is a premium Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge engineered specifically for the playback of microgroove mono vinyl records. By using a specialized engine that only picks up horizontal signal components, the 2M Mono ignores the vertical movement that causes \"surface noise\" and rumble on older records, resulting in a dead-silent background and a powerful, centered sonic image.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 2M Mono is defined by its authority, focus, and \"black\" background. It brings a surprising amount of \"weight\" to the midrange and bass that stereo cartridges often miss when playing mono records. It is the perfect choice for collectors of 1950s and 60s Jazz, early Rock 'n' Roll, and classical mono pressings.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNude Spherical Stylus: The 2M Mono features a high-quality \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNude Spherical diamond.
