Weight: 16.7g (approximate value, SH-4 Black installed) The 2M Mono, an MM cartridge for monaural records, was developed with the aim of making monaural recordings, which are still very popular, as easy as possible and playing them with high sound quality. By intentionally using a solid diamond round stylus tip, it is possible to more faithfully capture the charm of monaural discs. Output voltage: 4.0mV Frequency band: 20Hz-22,000Hz Diamond needle: Nude Spherical Cantilever: aluminum Proper stylus pressure: 1.8g Weight: 7.2g 2M Bronze Premounted *This is a model with SH-4/BLACK head shell installed. Weight: 16.7g (approximate value, SH-4 Black installed) The 2M Bronze uses a solid fine line needle (a type of high-performance oval needle) for the stylus tip to further improve the performance of the two models mentioned above. In addition, the cartridge body has also been upgraded to advanced line specifications, and the magnetic circuit including the magnet and coil has been upgraded. The wide range yet soft touch sound is unique to Bronze. Output voltage: 5.0mV Frequency band: 20Hz-29,000Hz Diamond needle: Nude Fine Line Cantilever: aluminum Proper stylus pressure: 1.5g Weight: 7.2g 2M Black Premounted *This is a model with SH-4/BLACK head shell installed. Weight: 16.7g (approximate value, SH-4 Black installed) 2M Black, developed to be the pinnacle of the 2M series, uses high-performance solid Shibata needles to achieve higher resolution and a wider range than Bronze. Also, since the 2M Black uses an aluminum cantilever, the tone tends to be a little softer than the flagship model 2M Black LVB 250, which uses a boron cantilever. The coil inside the 2M Bronze, Black, and Black LVB 250 units uses high-purity silver-plated copper wire. Therefore, these three models have a gorgeous yet neutral high-quality sound befitting a higher-end model. Output voltage: 5.0mV Frequency band: 20Hz-31,000Hz Diamond needle: Nude Shibata Cantilever: aluminum Proper stylus pressure: 1.5g Weight: 7.2g 2M Black LVB 250 Premounted *This is a model with SH-4/BLACK head shell installed. Weight: 16.7g (approximate value, SH-4 Black installed) The great composer Ludwig van Beethoven celebrated his 250th birthday in 2020. His influence on the history of human music is immeasurable, and due to his greatness, he is also known as the ``Musical Saint'' in our country. To commemorate this memorial year, Ortofon is pleased to announce the premium model MM cartridge 2M Black LVB 250, which bears the name of the famous Rakusei. 2M Black LVB 250 is based on 2M Black, the flagship of Ortofon's proud MM cartridge "2M" series. It is the embodiment of Hi-Fi, with a solid diamond Shibata needle and a coil of pure silver-plated high-purity copper wire, boasting extremely high resolution and a wide range befitting the flagship of the 2M series. In order to surpass this 2M Black, the LVB 250 uses boron for the MM type cantilever for the first time in Ortofon history, and the damper rubber has also been newly developed. This gives it the transient characteristics (speed of rise and fall of sound) that are similar to those of a high-end MC cartridge. The sound is so fast and natural that it overturns the concept I had of the sound of MM cartridges. Of course, this unit's specialty is not limited to classical music. With overwhelming resolution, range, dynamic feeling, and speed of sound, it picks up only the music, preserving the tones that composers and performers intended to express. Introducing the ultimate MM cartridge worthy of the name "Rakusei". Output voltage (1kHz, 5cm/sec.): 5mV Channel balance (1kHz): 1.0dB Channel separation (1kHz): 27dB Channel separation (15kHz): 15dB Frequency characteristics (20Hz-20,000Hz): +2/-1dB Tracking ability (315Hz, proper stylus pressure): 80μm Horizontal compliance: 22μm/mN Stylus type: Nude Shibata Stylus tip radius: r/R 6/50μm Cantilever material: boron Proper stylus pressure: 1.6g Tracking angle: 20° Internal impedance: 1.2kΩ Internal inductance: 630mH Recommended load resistance value: 47kΩ Recommended load capacitance value: 150-300pF Coil wire material: Silver-plated high purity copper wire Weight: 7.2gPlease note that this item is also sold in stores in Japan, so it may be sold out.
