The Ortofon 2M Blue Premounted Pickup is a high-performance moving magnet phono cartridge that comes pre-installed on the classic Ortofon SH-4 headshell.¹ This “premounted” solution makes installation on S-shaped tonearms incredibly quick and easy.² It features a nude elliptical diamond stylus for superior tracking and detail retrieval, delivering a more open and dynamic sound than the 2M Red.³ The included SH-4 headshell is made from a rigid, lightweight aluminum compound to minimize unwanted resonance, ensuring you get the authentic, detailed sound of the 2M Blue with a simple “plug-and-play” setup.⁴
