Ortofon True Mono cartridge. For playback of 78 rpm shellac records

An improved engine, which provides a high level of sonic accuracy.
Spherical diamond that is perfect for playback of 78 rpm shellac records, which require a larger stylus profile.
The cartridge body is manufactured from Hopelex, an environment-friendly material which ensures high rigidity while eliminating unwanted resonances.
2M 78 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.
