Ortofon 2M Mono SE

Short description

The Ortofon 2M Mono SE is specially designed for mono records. It supplies both stereo channels with the same signal, so that mono records can be played on stereo systems without having to give up one channel. The Second Edition SE is characterized by a finer sampling, i.e. an increased frequency response, with a slightly lower output voltage.

The enclosure shape of the systems was designed by Moeller Jensen Design. The model was the facets of a polished diamond.
