2M Blue Verso
The 2M Blue Verso is a moving-magnet phono cartridge with a nude elliptical stylus, built for bottom-mount headshells. It suits vinyl listeners who want more detail than the 2M Red from a turntable that mounts the cartridge from underneath.
- Bottom-mount (half inch) cartridge for headshells that mount from underneath
- Nude elliptical diamond stylus, r/R 8/18 µm, on aluminium cantilever
- Quad coils with split pole pins and OFC coil wire
- Output 5.5 mV at 1 kHz, 5 cm/sec
- Tracking force 1.6-2.0 g, recommended 1.8 g
- Recommended load 47 kOhm, 150-300 pF

The 2M Blue Verso is the bottom-mount version of Ortofon's 2M Blue. It has a nude elliptical diamond stylus on an aluminium cantilever, and a body made of polymer and aluminium. It is intended for turntables whose headshells take the cartridge from below, using a half-inch mount.
The generator uses quad coils with split pole pins and OFC coil wire. Split pole pins are an Ortofon design meant to give a moving-magnet cartridge a flatter frequency response, closer to that of a moving-coil type. Output is 5.5 mV, and the manufacturer positions the sound as more dynamic, open and detailed than the 2M Red.
Recommended tracking force is 1.8 g within a 1.6-2.0 g range. The cartridge loads at 47 kOhm with 150-300 pF of capacitance, which is the usual range for a moving-magnet phono input. A replacement guide covers swapping the screws on the Verso top plate with a Torx 8 key, and a user guide is available for download.
