Features-improved engine, which provides an increased output of 5.5 mV and an optimized sound reproduction and a high level of sonic accuracy.-a tipped Elliptical diamond and split pole pins with a copper wire.-the cartridge body is manufactured from Hopelex, an environment-friendly material which ensures high rigidity while eliminating unwanted resonances.We have optimized the design for ease of mounting the cartridge, and the weight and size to fit the most common turntables on the market today. The 2M Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.2M Red is an all-purpose cartridge that delivers open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth.2M Red Technical dataOutput voltage at 1000 Hz, 5cm/sec. 5.5 mVChannel balance at 1 kHz- 1.5 dBChannel separation at 1 kHz-22 dBChannel separation at 15 kHz – 15 dBFrequency range at – 3dB – 20-22.000 HzFrequency response – 20-20.000 Hz + 3 / – 1 dBTracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force -70 µmCompliance, dynamic, 20 µm/mNStylus type EllipticalStylus tip radius – r/R 8/18 µmTracking force range1.6-2.0 g (16-20 mN)Tracking force, recommended – 1.8 g (18 mN)Tracking angle 20°Internal impedance, DC resistance1.3 kOhmInternal inductance700 mHRecommended load resistance47 kOhmRecommended load capacitance150-300 pFCartridge color, body/stylusBlack/Red2M standard and 2M Verso cartridges weight 7.2 g2M PnP MkII cartridge with integrated headshell weight 20 g2M PnP MkII cartridge with integrated headshell length – 52 mmReplacement stylus unit 2M Red (interchangeable with 2M Blue and 2M Silver)Stylus lifetime: with proper care we find that up to 1000 hours is possible without degradation of performance. Please read about stylus care on our FAQ. 2M Series styli interchangeability:The 2M Series’ engines, coils and magnets configurations are not identical: Red and Blue are identical, so are the Bronze and Black and so are the true mono variants 2M Mono and 2M 78. Likewise, 2M series styli are interchangeable within the below combinations- 2M Red, 2M Blue and 2M Silver- 2M Bronze and 2M Black- 2M Mono and 2M 78
