Key Features:

• 30ml
• No mechanical contact between the spindle and the bearing bush. This flotation property minimises bearing noise and noticeable increases audio quality.
• Ø 1 micron microscopic spheres of zirconium oxide carry oxygen ions. This creates an actual physical separation between the spindle and the bearing bush.
• The oil viscosity alone reduces the friction between metal parts (spindle and bearing bush).
• It offers temperature stability and remains unadulterated through time and use.
• Perfect for higher clearance type platter spindle bearings. (For tighter clearances use Van Den Hul's TLF Type II)

The 2M 78 and 2M Mono offer users of older, rare vinyl a higher-quality playback medium than had previously been available.

• Uses a strapped output to deliver the same output signal from both sets of pole pins
• Supplied with 2 different sets of screws (M2.5 x 5 & M2.5 x 7)
• Stylus brush included
• Also available with integrated headshell or verso version
• Premounted version is mounted on our popular SH-4 Black headshell
• Premounted version is easily and directly mountable on S-shaped tonearms with universal mount.

2M Verso:

The 2M series of cartridges are now also available in a special version, suited for bottom-mount tonearms.

2M Premounted:

The 2M Premounted is a practical and elegant solution for those who require direct and easy mounting on their S-shaped tonearm. The quality of the SH-4 headshell is sturdy and rigid, yet the design emphasises a slim and delicate form factor with a long finger lift that is easy to pick up.

2MR (Reduced):

The "R" stands for “Reduced” and relates to the lower cartridge body height. This is suited to certain types of tonearms from manufacturers such as Pro-Ject, Linn and Rega, to achieve the correct VTA. 

Sumiko's first offering in the new Oyster line-up is the venerable Rainier, which continues the Pearl’s legacy for smooth, natural sound reproduction. After years of development, we are proud to introduce an all-new integrated body and generator system that significantly reduces internal resonances. With the ability to change to the Olympia or Moonstone stylus allows for upgrades with out replacing the entire cartridge.
