{"product_id":"ortofon-2m-bronze-verso-tonabnehmer","title":"Ortofon 2M Bronze Verso MM Cartridge (Under-Mount)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ortofon 2M Bronze Verso is an MM cartridge with a nude Fine Line stylus that's screwed from below – with interchangeable threaded studs (2 and 2.5 mm) instead of screws from above. Designed for tonearms and headshells that require this mounting from below, such as many Thorens and Revox models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the 2M Bronze Verso?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause your tonearm requires mounting from below – and the Bronze still delivers the audiophile level right below the Black. The Fine Line diamond and silver-plated OFC winding bring fine treble resolution and calm; the Verso form makes this possible on the matching tonearms in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoticeably more fine detail and space than the Blue, combined with under-mounting. Overtones and fine structures that would otherwise be lost become audible – strings with shimmer, cymbals with a shell of sound, clean complex passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the 2M Bronze Verso for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal if your tonearm needs under-mounting and you want to get close to the series maximum. \u003cstrong\u003eBottom line:\u003c\/strong\u003e With a normal tonearm using top screws, the Verso version is unnecessary – then the standard Bronze suffices. And on a weak turntable the Fine Line stylus's benefit evaporates, regardless of the mounting form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fine Line tier for tonearms with under-mounting – the same refined Bronze sound, different mechanics. If your Thorens or Revox requires it, the Verso is the right choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge type: MM (Moving Magnet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: from below, interchangeable threaded studs (2 \/ 2.5 mm) – e.g. Thorens, Revox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus tip: Fine Line, nude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTip radius: r\/R 8\/40 µm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput voltage: 5 mV (1 kHz, 5 cm\/s)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 20–20,000 Hz (+2\/−0 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel separation: 26 dB (1 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus compliance: 22 µm\/mN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended tracking force: 1.5 g (1.4–1.7 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended load: 47 kOhm · 150–300 pF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended tonearm mass: light to medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinding: silver-plated OFC copper wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 7.2 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement stylus: Stylus 2M Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: cartridge, stylus brush, screwdriver, mounting screws including threaded studs (2× M2.5×5, 2× M2.5×7) for under-mounting, alignment gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know whether my tonearm needs under-mounting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the headshell from below: if the cartridge is screwed with threaded studs from below instead of screws from above, you need the Verso version. This is typical for many Thorens and Revox tonearms. If in doubt, the tonearm manual helps – or just ask us briefly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Bronze offer enough over the Blue?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a good setup, yes. The Fine Line stylus has more contact with the groove than the elliptical cut, tracks more finely and reduces distortion with demanding material. You hear more resolution and overtones. On simpler turntables the difference is smaller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Ortofon 2M Bronze Verso at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the Verso version only makes sense if your tonearm actually needs it – and a wrong purchase at this price is annoying.
