Ortofon 2M 78 PnP MKII

Ortofon 2M 78 version mounted on head or capsule holder. It is a practical and elegant solution for customers who want a direct and easy assembly and replacement on their S-shaped arm. The combination of the 2M series capsules with their capsule holder brings a unique touch of distinction to your record player!

Collectors of records released in the prehistory of High Fidelity have in the 2M 78 the perfect tool to rediscover their 78 rpm Shellac monophonic recordings thanks to a configuration specifically designed for it. This configuration is based on the use of an improved signal generation system set by Ortofon that allows the same output signal to be delivered in any of the two pairs of available connectors. Together with a 65 um spherical needle made to measure, the aforementioned system allows to optimize the reading of discs at 78 revolutions per second, whose perfect reproduction requires the use of larger reading tips, in any traditional stereo equipment. Likewise, and like the rest of the models of the 2M series, the 2M 78 is available in version for mounting from the lower area and in those arms in which the fixing screws cannot cross the upper part of the capsule holder.
