How it works:

The Ortofon 2M Red cartridge mounts to your turntable's tonearm using standard screws. When the stylus contacts the record groove, it converts the mechanical vibrations into electrical signals. These signals are then transmitted to your phono preamp or amplifier. The moving magnet design provides a stable output with high sensitivity. The elliptical stylus ensures that more of the groove surface is traced, allowing for accurate and dynamic sound reproduction without skipping or distortion.
