Feeling the presence of the artist
With the 2M Black, you will not only hear the music, but you will sense the presence of the artist in the room while listening to your favorite records.
Stylus
Shibata diamond
The 2M Black is graced with a Shibata diamond that gives it contact with the groove like nothing else. The slim, highly polished profile allows an exceedingly wide contact area to the groove walls and ensures notably detailed reproduction throughout the spectrum, including even the most high frequency groove information.
Features
Split pole pin technology

The 2M is mounted on a classic Ortofon SH-4 headsheel and is for customers who wish direct and easy mounting and replacement on their S-shaped tonearm.
