Key Features

  • An improved engine, which provides an increased output of 5.5 mV and an optimised 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.

Ortofon has optimised 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.

The 2M Series is Designed for Precise and Accurate Retrieval of the Information in the Record Groove

The 2M Series is developed in conjunction with the Danish Industrial designer Møller Jensen Design – the same designer who designed the award winning MC Jubilee and Kontrapunkt series. Inspired by the facets of a diamond, whose contours gracefully trace the grooves on a record’s surface, the 2M’s handsome elegance establishes a great combination of form and functionality.

The name 2M was selected from among several ideas. We wanted a modern name that would be easy to pronounce and remember, and therefore an alphanumerical name was chosen. 2M means MM, which is the abbreviation for moving magnet.

Of course the 2M isn’t just another pretty face. It has been engineered to the highest standards and is congruent with Ortofon’s unrelenting commitment to providing the most precise and accurate reproduction possible without coloration.

Summary of the five classic variations of 2M Cartridges:

  • 2M Mono SE, 2M Mono and 2M 78 are a true mono cartridges for playing mono vinyl records
  • 2M Red is an all-purpose cartridge that delivers open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth
  • 2M Blue adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open and reproduces more details
  • 2M Bronze adds even more details and resolution but in a very even handed way that pays respect to all elements
  • 2M Black is the best of everything, true to the groove with resolution and accurate insight into each recording

The 2M series of cartridges features Ortofon’s trademark split pole pins, an invention that enables moving magnet cartridges to have a flat frequency response, as with a moving coil cartridge. Split pole pins were invented by Ortofon, and were originally presented in the 500 series and OM Super series.

We have optimised 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.

Pretty good
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
I like these because they're reduced sugar . You still get your electrolytes and they have a good mixed fruit flavor. I been buying these alot lately I like the rain berry most. It's a good deal here on Amazon and it hydrates better than water alone . They have a few flavors to choose from in this line so there's def variety.

Love the Fruit Punch Flavor!
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
This fruit punch flavor diminished the overly sweet stevia taste. In addition to hydrating after activity, I use it as a low calorie sweet treat. I don't use artificial sweeteners. I drink still and sparkling water but I enjoy a sweet drink too.

Not to shabby
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
It’s OK the taste is better than G2 but worse than regular Gatorade. I wish they had more flavor variety, but I like that the sugar content is lower and you’re still getting all of the beneficial ingredients like the electrolytes. They are packaged well in nice bottles that don’t leak but are still easy to open overall I like them just wish they could find a way to make the flavor a little more potent so it doesn’t taste like regular Gatorade that’s been watered down.

Great taste without the sugar overload
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
picked up a pack of Gatorade’s lower sugar drinks and honestly wasn’t expecting much, but they surprised me. The flavor is still really good—doesn’t taste watered down like some “light” drinks do—and it’s not overly sweet, which I actually prefer. You still get that classic Gatorade taste and the electrolytes, just without all the sugar overload. It’s a solid option if you’re trying to cut back but still want something refreshing after work, workouts, or being outside. Overall, it hits a nice balance between taste and being a little healthier. Definitely something I’ll keep buying. Wish they had more flavors available
