The Ortofon 2M Mono Verso is designed to provide high-accuracy playback of mono microgroove vinyl records. Featuring an improved mono engine, it utilizes a meticulously cut R 18µm Nude Spherical stylus that optimally captures the sound from records without distortion. The cartridge body is crafted from Hopelex, which enhances rigidity and minimizes unwanted resonances for clearer sound reproduction. The 2M Mono Verso is compatible with a variety of playback systems and phono preamps, employing a strapped output that eliminates the need for dedicated mono equipment. This model is tailored for bottom mount headshells, making it a practical choice for users seeking quality mono playback.
