The Ortofon 2M Black LVB 250 is a premium moving magnet cartridge crafted for outstanding musical precision and realism. Building on the acclaimed 2M Black, it features a Nude Shibata diamond stylus and boron cantilever for exceptional clarity and responsiveness. Its advanced suspension system, enhanced with carbon nanotube technology, ensures refined detail and dynamic range. Designed for audiophiles seeking true high-end performance, the 2M Black LVB 250 delivers breathtaking sound from every record.

2M Black LVB 250

The 2M Black LVB 250 builds on the concept of the original 2M Black cartridge design to take one step further toward true high-end sound. Redefining what is possible from a moving magnet (MM) cartridge, the 2M Black LVB 250 is truly an exercise in technical excellence.

Moving magnet cartridge with removable stylus

Utilises Ortofon's split-pole pin technology to reduce the eddy current and to get a flat frequency response, like with an MC cartridge

Nude Shibata diamond stylus

Superior boron cantilever

2M Black LVB 250 Technology
The 2M Black LVB 250 uses a Nude Shibata diamond on a Boron cantilever. This combination is also found on the acclaimed MC Cadenza Black cartridge. The Nude Shibata stylus’s slim, highly polished profile allows for an exceedingly wide contact area with the record groove walls and ensures notably 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 the sound.

2M Black LVB 250 Body
To attain an optimal interaction between compliance and damping, a new rubber compound for the suspension system has been developed. The new rubber compound formula is based on the Multi Wall Carbon Nano Tubes (MWCNT) highly efficient nanofiller. The MWCNT powder is applied in a rubber polymer matrix and not in a powdered form, which makes the production process cleaner, non-polluting and energy-saving.

2M Black LVB 250 Sound
The 2M Black LVB 250 builds on the concept of the original 2M Black cartridge design to take one step further toward a truly high-end sound. Redefining what is possible from a moving magnet (MM) cartridge, the 2M Black LVB 250 is truly an exercise in technical excellence.

Get The Right Model For You
The 2M Black LVB 250 is available in different versions to suit different applications. The 2M Verso is for bottom-mounted headshells, the 2M Pre-Mounted includes a regular 2M cartridge fitted to an Ortofon SH-4 Headshell, and the 2MR offers a reduced cartridge height for mounting onto tonearms that require a lower ride height.
