The Ortofon 2M 78 moving magnet cartridge is designed for precise and accurate playback of 78 RPM shellac records. It features an improved True Mono engine with high sonic accuracy and an expertly cut spherical diamond suited to the wider grooves of 78 RPM records.
The 2M 78 uses a strapped output to deliver the same signal from both sets of pole pins. It is supplied with two different sets of mounting screws (M2.5 x 5 and M2.5 x 7) and a stylus brush.
