{"product_id":"ortofon-2mr-black-tonabnehmer","title":"Ortofon 2MR black MM Cartridge for Rega","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ortofon 2MR black is a moving magnet cartridge with a nude Shibata stylus, whose housing is built for the three-point mounting of Rega tonearms. It brings the technology of the flagship 2M Black into the narrow, lightweight 6-gram body made specifically for Rega.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Black's Shibata stylus is among the best an MM cartridge can offer – and with the 2MR black you hang exactly that level onto a Rega arm, without worrying about spacers or mounting height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the 2MR black?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nude Shibata stylus has a particularly large contact area with the groove. That means the finest treble resolution, excellent tracking even in the inner grooves, and a spatial quality otherwise reserved for pricier MC cartridges. In the 2MR housing, that sound quality sits perfectly on a Rega – light, narrow, no spacer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA reproduction that lifts your Rega close to high-end territory: open, finely fanned-out treble, cleanly layered soundstages, and a composure that sorts even complex music with ease. This is the top model of the regular 2MR range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the 2MR black for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Rega owners with a high-quality system that genuinely resolves this level of detail. \u003cstrong\u003eStraight talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e on a simple chain, the Black won't show its potential – then the 2MR bronze is the more sensible choice. And without a Rega turntable, you don't need the 2MR body – then the standard 2M Black fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2MR black draws the maximum of the MM world out of a Rega – mounted to fit exactly, with no compromise on sound. For the right system, a genuine highlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: MM cartridge (moving magnet), for Rega tonearms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: 2MR black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus profile: nude Shibata\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTip radius r\/R: 6\/50 µm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput voltage: 5 mV\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\u003eLoad resistance: 47 kOhm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad capacitance: 150–300 pF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: Rega three-point mounting, no spacer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 6 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat's included: cartridge, stylus brush, screwdriver, mounting screws (Rega three-point mounting)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Shibata stylus worth it over the Bronze's Fine Line?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a resolving system, yes – the nude Shibata plays even more open and spacious than the Bronze's Fine Line. On a simpler chain, the difference is smaller. We're happy to audition it with you and tell you honestly whether the step up pays off for your system or the money is better spent elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the 2MR black and the standard 2M Black?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly in the mounting. The 2MR black sits in the narrow 6-gram Rega body with three-point mounting, the 2M Black uses the usual half-inch mounting. Nude Shibata stylus, generator and sound are identical. Without a Rega arm, take the 2M Black; on a Rega, the 2MR black spares you the spacer fiddling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the 2MR black at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we know from nearly three decades how to set up a flagship cartridge properly – and that a Shibata stylus demands careful alignment.
