The 2M 78 Series - the true MONO from Ortofon!
The 2M Series of cartridges is designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove. Our philosophy is to play the record sound as accurate as possible, without coloring the sound.
The name 2M was selected from several ideas. We wanted a modern name that would be easy to pronounce and remember, and therefore an alphanumerical name was chosen. 2M means MM, which is the abbreviation for moving magnet.
The 2M series of cartridges features Ortofon’s trademark split pole pins, an invention that enables moving magnet cartridges to have a flat frequency response, as with a moving coil cartridge. Split pole pins were invented by Ortofon, and were originally presented in the 500 series and Super OM series.
We have optimized the design for ease of mounting the cartridge, and the weight and size to fit the most common turntables on the market today. The 2M Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.

The 2M 78 Verso model is an alternative product for bottom mount tonearms.

Talk about hifipro
It was in 2016 that the idea of an e-commerce site for the sale of new products was born: HIFIPRO. Mario Gagnon, owner of the second-hand Audio store since 1985, nurtured his passion for music since childhood. This enthusiasm allowed him to excel in his studies and projects. Dedication, time and love for sound and its reproduction led him to open his own store. It will quickly become a reference in the sale of high fidelity devices in Canada. He and his colleagues spend a lot of time following progress and new developments in order to stay up to date with the latest technologies. After more than 30 years of success, Used Audio has acquired a very loyal customer base, participated in and obtained several recognitions from consumers and professionals during several exhibitions. For several years now, they have been shipping items across Canada, so Mario decided to create HIFIPRO. It is with great confidence that he and his team are ready to offer you the best products and services. Our goal is to help you make the best possible choice according to your needs and criteria.
