Experience the true essence of vinyl records with the Ortofon 2M 78 true mono cartridge. Specifically designed for the playback of 78 rpm shellac records, this cartridge features a spherical diamond stylus tip that perfectly complements the grooves of your vintage collection. The cartridge body, crafted from Hopelex, ensures high rigidity and eliminates unwanted resonances, promising a high level of sonic accuracy. Moreover, the 2M 78 uses a strapped output to deliver the same output signal from both sets of pole pins, eliminating the need for mono-specific equipment and allowing true mono reproduction on any stereo playback system.
