The story behind MONO cartridges

A tribute to the Beatles

Leif Johannsen, Ortofon Chief Officer of Acoustics and Research, reveals the story behind the MONO cartridges featuring the 2M Mono SE, which was specifically created as a tribute to the Mono Beatles album Set released in 2014.

The Beatles have an important place in many music lovers’ hearts, and Ortofon is honoured to ensure high quality, modern replay from the new Mono Box Set.

Enjoy true mono

Output

The 2M Mono uses a strapped output to deliver the same output signal from both sets of pole pins. This effectively eliminates the need for mono-specific equipment, making it possible to enjoy true mono reproduction on any stereo playback system.

Ortofon 2M Mono Review – Does a Mono Phono Cartridge Sound Better?

“... the overall sound is more cohesive. There was a sense of depth in the low end that was missing with a stereo cart, and the top end was less washy, and much more focused. There is something quite magical about a mono recording like this, where everything needs its own space across the frequency spectrum to find space in the mix ...
... The 2M Mono is your ticket to unleashing the phenomenal potential of mono.“

Why Choose Ortofon

Ortofon is one of the most historic and widely recognised names in analogue audio, with a cartridge manufacturing heritage that stretches back to Denmark in 1918. Over more than a century, Ortofon has become one of the most influential brands in vinyl playback, producing cartridges used across home Hi-Fi, professional mastering studios, archival applications, and DJ environments worldwide.

What makes Ortofon particularly interesting is the breadth of the range and the consistency of its engineering philosophy. From accessible moving magnet models through to highly specialised reference moving coil cartridges, Ortofon products are generally known for precision, strong tracking ability, low coloration, and excellent retrieval of detail from vinyl recordings. Their cartridges often appeal to listeners seeking a clean, accurate, and highly organised presentation with strong image focus and neutrality.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Ortofon tends to appeal most to customers who already know the brand through its strong global reputation and long-standing presence within analogue audio. Models such as the 2M series and Quintet range have become extremely popular internationally due to their reliability, broad compatibility, and approachable performance across many turntable and tonearm combinations.

Signature Design and Sound

Manufactured in Denmark, Ortofon cartridges are developed using extensive in-house engineering, advanced stylus technologies, and decades of analogue research and production experience. The company remains one of the few large-scale cartridge manufacturers still deeply invested in analogue playback development at every level of the market.

Sonically, Ortofon cartridges are generally recognised for their precision, clarity, and tracking performance. The presentation often feels clean and well controlled, with strong separation, articulate bass, and excellent retrieval of fine musical information. Depending on the model range, the sound can vary from smooth and approachable through to highly revealing and reference-focused.

Compared with some more overtly romantic or tonally rich cartridge brands, many Ortofon models lean toward a more neutral and technically balanced presentation. This makes them particularly attractive for listeners wanting strong detail retrieval, system versatility, and dependable performance across a wide variety of music genres and system types.

Ortofon Product Range

The Ortofon range includes moving magnet cartridges, moving coil cartridges, replacement styli, tonearms, step-up transformers, and specialised professional audio products. Popular ranges including the 2M series, Quintet series, Cadenza range, and flagship MC cartridges cover everything from entry-level vinyl systems through to serious high-end analogue playback.

Ortofon cartridges are available in a broad variety of output levels, stylus profiles, and compliance configurations, allowing compatibility across many different tonearm and turntable designs. Their extensive product range and strong worldwide support network have helped establish Ortofon as one of the most recognisable and enduring names in analogue audio.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Geoff and his analogue setup team can assist with cartridge selection, installation, tonearm matching, and phono stage optimisation to ensure customers achieve the best possible performance from their vinyl playback systems.
