The Pro-Ject Pick it S2 MM is an entry-level moving-magnet phono cartridge developed in close collaboration with Ortofon, one of the most respected names in stylus and cartridge manufacture. Sitting near the base of Pro-Ject's own-brand cartridge range, the Pick it S2 MM delivers the clarity and musical engagement expected of a purpose-voiced audiophile cartridge at an accessible price point. This version features a distinctive green body, making it easy to identify within Pro-Ject's colour-coded Pick it S2 MM family.
Designed with Ortofon Expertise
Rather than sourcing a generic transducer element, Pro-Ject worked directly with Ortofon's engineers to develop the Pick it S2 MM from the ground up. The result is a cartridge that benefits from Ortofon's decades of moving-magnet development, voiced specifically by the Pro-Ject design team to complement the sonic character of their turntable range. The elliptical stylus profile provides an excellent balance between tracking precision and groove compatibility, retrieving fine musical detail from worn and pristine records alike.
Broad Compatibility
The Pick it S2 MM fits any turntable accepting a standard half-inch headshell mount, so it is equally at home on a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon or Evo as it is on a third-party deck. With a typical tracking force of around 2g and a standard MM output level, it works with virtually any amplifier that includes a phono stage, as well as dedicated phono preamplifiers set to MM loading.
Green Colour Variant
The green body of this variant is purely cosmetic and has no effect on the cartridge's electrical or mechanical performance. It is produced to the same specification as the rest of the Pick it S2 MM family and makes a lively, distinctive choice for any turntable setup.
