Stylus
Made for Mono
The 2M 78 features a stylus' tip with a Spherical diamond, perfect for playback of 78 rpm shellac records.

Output
Enjoy true mono
The 2M 78 uses a strapped output to deliver the same output signal from both sets of pole pins. This effectively eliminates the need for mono-specific equipment, making it possible to enjoy true mono reproduction on any stereo playback system.
