Compatibility

Experience the convenience of the 2M 78 Pre-mounted – a smart and refined choice for those seeking straightforward installation and effortless replacement on their S-shaped tonearm.

Stylus

The 2M 78 features a stylus' tip with a Spherical diamond, perfect for playback of 78 rpm shellac records.
