2M Red: replace the stylus, retain the body
The Red is the entry point to the 2M stereo range. Its Elliptical stylus offers an open, lively presentation with a touch of warmth, and a compatible Blue stylus provides a future upgrade path.
A replacement assembly, not a complete cartridge
This listing supplies the 2M Red stylus assembly, including the diamond and cantilever. A cartridge body and headshell are not included. Keep a correctly installed compatible body in place when renewing the stylus.
Match the exact cartridge and record format
2M Red, 2MR Red and Red premounted bodies.
The recommended tracking force for this assembly is 1.8 g. Verify the setting after fitting or changing a stylus, rather than assuming the previous adjustment is correct.
Compare Ortofon 2M Red Replacement Stylus or Ortofon 2MR Red Moving Magnet Cartridge, or ask Audio Exchange to help confirm the correct fit.

Questions before ordering
Will this stylus fit any Ortofon cartridge?
No. Match the exact cartridge family and model. Do not choose by color alone or assume that OM, Concorde Music, and 2M parts are interchangeable.
Can I upgrade my 2M Red with the Blue stylus?
Yes. Ortofon supports the Blue stylus as an upgrade for the 2M Red and 2MR Red. You can retain a correctly installed, compatible cartridge body.
Can you match it from my turntable model?
The turntable model helps, but its cartridge may have been changed. Send us the current cartridge model and a clear photo if you are unsure.
What does the condition label apply to?
The condition statement applies to this individual listing. Read its description for the recorded inspection, packaging and accessory details. Do not assume the condition or contents of a new unit apply to an open-box or used item.
