2M Black LVB 250
Moving Magnet Cartridge

The new Ortofon Exclusive 2M Black LVB 250 modelThis year, to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the birth ofLudwig van Beethoven, Ortofon has announced the release of the2M Black LVB 250 Exclusive Model.
The 2M Black flagship from Ortofon is widely acknowledged as
being one of the best MM cartridges on the market, being “open,fast, detailed, vivid, full of vitality and sonically spectacular”, - Marc
Mickelson, The Audio Beat, August 2016. But at Ortofon being thebest doesn’t mean that we can’t get better.

BENEFITS OF HIGH-END MATERIALS AND
ADVANCEMENTS IN TECHNOLOGIESThe 2M Black LVB 250 has been recreated from the conceptsof its predecessor, the 2M Black, but the 2M Black LVB 250
performance takes one step further to enhance the cartridge’s
capabilities and technical excellence.
The 2M Black LVB 250 uses a Nude Shibata diamond on a
Boron cantilever, the combination known from the acclaimed MCCadenza Black cartridge.
The Nude Shibata stylus’s slim, highly polished profile allows an
exceedingly wide contact area to the groove walls and ensuresnotably detailed reproduction throughout the spectrum, including
even the highest frequencies.		

The use of an extremely stiff and lightweight Boron cantilever adds
remarkable transparency, speed and responsiveness.
To attain an optimal interaction between
compliance and damping, a new rubbercompound for the suspension system
has been developed. The new rubbercompound formula is based on the Multi
Wall Carbon Nano Tubes (MWCNT) highly
efficient nano filler. The new MWCNT-based compound offers
desirable mechanical properties, which ensure better damping andimprove the overall performance of the cartridge.
Also, the new MWCNT rubber compound allows for moreenvironmental-friendly production, adding further benefit. The
MWCNT powder is applied in a rubber polymer matrix and not in a
powdered form, which makes the production process more clean,
non-polluting and energy saving.

PERFORMANCE WITH A RANGE OFCOMPATIBILITY
With an optimal weight of 7.2 g and compliance of 22 μm/mN tosuit the vast majority of modern tonearms, the 2M Black LVB 250
is easily compatible with an endless array of modern High-End
equipment and is the ultimate solution for high fidelity reproduction.
