Version
The 2M Bronze is the third level up in the 2M range, and brings further improvements thanks to a more rigid Noryl Plastic/glass composite material used for the cartridge body, silver plated generator coils and a one piece (nude) Fine Line diamond. This cartridge is more euphonic than the rest of the range, both sweeter and a touch more laidback, with superb detail retrieval thanks to the stylus profile. 
The 2M Bronze family of cartridges includes 4 variants available to order here.

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

-2MR Bronze 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 Bronze Verso Identical to standard height 2M Red but with male cartridge threads extending out of the cartridge (rather than internal female threads), for use where conventional threaded inserts on the standard model are not usable.

-2M Bronze 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 downgrade/upgrade the performance easily or even fit a 78 stylus profile if required.
