Immerse yourself in the world of high-fidelity audio with the Ortofon 2M Black LVB 250 Premounted. This exclusive model is more than just a cartridge; it's a testament to Ortofon's relentless pursuit of perfection.
The 2M Black LVB 250 is an upgrade of the acclaimed 2M Black, featuring a boron cantilever and Ortofon's unique Nano Tube suspension system. This combination results in a sound that is not only precise but also incredibly detailed. It's as if you've invited the artist into your home for a private performance.
At the heart of the 2M Black LVB 250 is a Nude Shibata diamond mounted on a Boron cantilever. This setup, borrowed from the esteemed MC Cadenza Black cartridge, offers remarkable transparency, speed, and responsiveness. The slim, highly polished profile of the Nude Shibata stylus ensures a wide contact area with the groove walls, resulting in a notably detailed reproduction across the entire spectrum, even at the highest frequencies.
The 2M Black LVB 250 was released to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven's birth in December 2020, a fitting tribute to a composer who dedicated his life to the pursuit of musical perfection.
While the 2M Black LVB 250 is premounted on an SH-4 headshell, the focus remains on the cartridge's superior performance. The SH-4 headshell is sturdy and rigid, yet its design emphasizes a slim and delicate form factor. It offers easy and direct mounting on S-shaped tonearms with a universal mount, making it a practical and elegant solution for those seeking easy mounting and replacement.
