2M serien er udviklet sammen med Den danske designer Møller Jensen. Den samme designede i øvrigt den prisblelønnede Jubilee pickup samt Kontrapunkt serien.
Designet er inspireret af diamanters slibning der i pickupper er formet til glide henover skiverne og forsyne os med vellyd.
2M Red passer fint på de fleste pladespillere på markedet og gengiver neutralt og musikalsk.
The swansong design of Ortofon’s former chief engineer Per Windfeld, the entry-level 2M Red uses a tipped elliptical, while the 2M Black wields a formidable Shibata diamond stylus—the same as used on the vaunted MC Jubilee. NG feels that the 2M Black has a lighter touch and pulls the trigger faster than the competition. The Black’s greatest attribute is its transparent window on the world of micro-energies and its ability to unravel the complexities of orchestral music. Though a little dry in the treble and lacking the Black’s velvety finesse and harmonic finish, the 2M Red is still one sophisticated cartridge for the money. (Reviewed in TAS 182)
