The 2M Red Series is designed for easy cartridge mounting, weight, and size to fit the most common turntables today. The 2M Red Series is available in four different product variant configurations: the 2M Red for most common turntables on the market; the 2M Red Premounted, for customers who wish direct and easy mounting and replacement on their S-shaped tonearm; the 2M Red Verso, for bottom mount headshells; and the 2MR Red, which is designed cartridge housing tailored for turntables and tonearms like Rega, matching their requirement for low-form factor cartridges.
