| Content | Stay in the groove with this replacement ceramic cartridge!
Your cartridge and stylus are where the rubber hits the road on your turntable. Or should we say, where the needle hits the record.
This replacement ceramic cartridge is a perfect fit for your Classic LP, iPT01, iPTUSB, iPTUSB LE, Max LP, or Mobile LP and many other ION turntables (see list). If your stylus is worn, or if you just need a backup, this cartridge will keep your turntable in top shape and sounding great!
To Replace Stylus
- Grasp both sides of the stylus and pull forward to remove stylus
- Grasp both sides of the stylus and slide up and back to attach stylus
To Replace Cartridge
- Remove stylus from old Cartridge
- Grab headshell with thumb under front tab and index finger on rear of head shell with left hand.
- Grab old cartridge with right thumb and index finger. Carefully Pull down and forward with right hand while while pulling up with left hand.
- Carefully disconnect wires from rear of cartridge pulling from metal tabs.
- Remove stylus guard and stylus from new cartridge
- Connect wires on new cartridge. the single metal connector with black wires goes on the bottom posts that are closer together.
- From rear view, as you would install the cartridge - The red wire goes on the right upper post, the white wire goes on the left upper post.
- Reconnect cartridge to headshell by placing cartridge beneath headshell with thumb below cartridge and index finger on top of headshell.
- Carefully squeeze the two together. a \'light\' snap occurs and the cartridge should fit snug.
- Reattach new stylus to new cartridge.

*TTUSB, TTUSBDC, LP2CD, Select LP use a magnetic cartridge and are not compatible. | The 2M series were developed in conjunction with Danish designer Møller Jensen Design – the same designer who designed the award winning MC Jubilee and Kontrapunkt series. Inspired by the facets of a diamond, whose contours gracefully trace the grooves on a recordʼs surface, the 2Mʼs handsome elegance establishes a great combination of form and functionality.
2M are 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. We have optimized the design for ease of mounting the cartridge, weight and size to fit the most common turntables at the market today.
The name 2M was selected among several ideas. We wanted a modernname which should be easy to pronounce and to remember, and therefore an alpha numerical name was chosen. 2M means MM, which is the abbreviation for moving magnet.
Of course the 2M isnʼt just another pretty face. It has been engineered to the highest standards and is congruent with Ortofonʼs unrelenting commitment to providing the most precise and accurate reproduction possible without coloration.
The 2M series of cartridges feature Ortofonʼs trademark split pole pins, an invention which 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. The 2M Red uses an improved engine, which provides an increased output of 5.5mV. 2M red features a tipped elliptical diamond.

| The MC 1 Turbo is an excellent entry into the world of high output moving coil (MC) cartridges, with an elliptical stylus profile. The MC 1 Turbo has a 3.3mV output, which makes it perfect for use with inbuilt phono preamps – specifically ones designed for moving magnet (MM) cartridges. The MC 1 Turbo provides a taste of the linearity and precision of moving coils, but without the need for additional high gain preamps or transformers.
