The 2M LVB Black 250 is the fifth, and top, model in the 2M range. LVB 250 stands for 'Ludwig van Beethoven' and this special cartridge was introduced to commemorate the 250th anniversary of his birth.

The star feature of this cartridge is its Boron cantilever - an exceptionally stiff and lightweight material that is ideally suited to this application. Its use necessitated a new suspension material, a rubber polymer matrix with Multi Wall Nano Carbon Tube powder.

The 2M Black LVB 250 family of cartridges includes 4 variants available to order here.

-2M Black LVB 250 This is the model everyone thinks of when they think of this cartridge, it's a very well reviewed design.

-2MR Black LVB 250 This is an exciting addition to the range - the 2M series are quite tall cartridges, so the 2MR is a shorter height version and is proving popular with owners of turntables with height restrictions (like some Rega decks, for example). This cartridge is a little lighter than the standard model, but otherwise the same.

-2M Black LVB 250 Premounted This is a standard 2M Red pre mounted into a 'SME' type removable headshell

The 2M range features Ortofon's Spilt-Pole Pin generator to reduce eddy currents and extend and flatten the frequency response.

All 2M Series styli are interchangeable so you can fit any other model to its body or even fit a 78 stylus profile if required.
