2MR Blue: a lower-profile fit
The Blue moves beyond Red with a Nude Elliptical diamond. It is designed for listeners seeking more detail, openness and resolution while retaining a replaceable stylus and a moving magnet phono connection.
2MR versus standard 2M
The 2MR body is 3 mm shorter than standard 2M and weighs 6 g. It is intended for low-profile tonearms, including relevant Rega designs, where cartridge height matters. Check the exact turntable and arm before choosing; a brand name alone does not establish fit.
A complete cartridge with a replaceable stylus
You receive the low-profile body with its Nude Elliptical stylus fitted. A headshell is not included. Mounting, alignment and adjustment are required, along with a suitable MM phono input.
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 Blue Replacement Stylus or Ortofon 2M Blue Moving Magnet Cartridge, or ask Audio Exchange to help confirm the correct fit.

Questions before ordering
Does the low-profile 2MR body fit every Rega turntable?
The 2MR body is 3 mm shorter than a standard 2M body and is intended for low-profile tonearms. Confirm the exact turntable, arm and setup before ordering; the brand name alone does not guarantee compatibility.
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.
Does a complete cartridge mean it is premounted?
A complete cartridge includes the body and stylus. A headshell is included only when the listing specifically says premounted. A standard cartridge still needs mounting and alignment.
