Ortofon Exclusive 2M Black LVB 250 model

To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven, we announce the release of the 2M Black LVB 250 Exclusive Model. The 2M Black flagship from Ortofon is widely acknowledged as being one of the best MM cartridges on the market, but at Ortofon being the best doesn’t mean that we can’t get better.

Benefits of high-end materials

The 2M Black LVB 250 has been recreated from the concepts of its predecessor, the 2M Black, but the 2M Black LVB 250 performance takes one step further to enhance the cartridge’s capabilities and technical excellence.

The 2M Black LVB 250 uses a Nude Shibata diamond on a Boron cantilever, the combination known from the acclaimed MC Cadenza Black cartridge.

The Nude Shibata stylus’s slim, highly polished profile allows an exceedingly wide contact area to the 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.

The new rubber compound formula

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 nano filler. The new MWCNT-based compound offers desirable mechanical properties, which ensure better damping and improve the overall performance of the cartridge.

Also, the new MWCNT rubber compound allows for more environmental-friendly production, adding further benefit. The MWCNT powder is applied in a rubber polymer matrix and not in a powdered form, which makes the production process more clean, non-polluting and energy saving.

The 2M Series is Designed for Precise and Accurate Retrieval of the Information in the Record Groove

The 2M Series is developed in conjunction with the Danish Industrial designer Møller Jensen Design – the same designer who designed the award winning MC Jubilee and Kontrapunkt series. Inspired by the facets of a diamond, whose contours gracefully trace the grooves on a record’s surface, the 2M’s handsome elegance establishes a great combination of form and functionality.

The name 2M was selected from among several ideas. We wanted a modern name that would be easy to pronounce and remember, and therefore an alphanumerical name was chosen. 2M means MM, which is the abbreviation for moving magnet.

Of course the 2M isn’t just another pretty face. It has been engineered to the highest standards and is congruent with Ortofon’s unrelenting commitment to providing the most precise and accurate reproduction possible without coloration.

Summary of the five classic variations of 2M Cartridges:

  • 2M Mono SE, 2M Mono and 2M 78 are a true mono cartridges for playing mono vinyl records
  • 2M Red is an all-purpose cartridge that delivers open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth
  • 2M Blue adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open and reproduces more details
  • 2M Bronze adds even more details and resolution but in a very even handed way that pays respect to all elements
  • 2M Black is the best of everything, true to the groove with resolution and accurate insight into each recording

The 2M series of cartridges features Ortofon’s trademark split pole pins, an invention that enables moving magnet cartridges to have a flat frequency response, as with a moving coil cartridge. Split pole pins were invented by Ortofon, and were originally presented in the 500 series and OM Super series.

We have optimised the design for ease of mounting the cartridge, and the weight and size to fit the most common turntables on the market today. The 2M Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.

Good fit
Both filters fit well on my 2019 Honda CRV. I was able to replace without struggle. Did it on my own first time.

Good Fit for 2025 Honda CR-V EX-L
Very happy with purchase. Fit like a champ. Be prepared to work to change the engine air filter. It is more about Honda's design the the filter itself.

Very durable and quality produced.
These filters seem very durable and quality made. The air filter looks exactly and feels exactly the same on the factory filter and very easy to replace. The cabin filter was also very easy to replace. This cabin filter feels a lot heavier and higher quality than the factory OEM. Be sure the rigid sides of the filter will fit on the left and right side when installing. If you try to install the filter with the information written on it facing out, then the cover will not fit properly. When the filter is in place correctly, the cover will be easy to put back in place. Both filters seem very durable and quality made.

Perfect fit
I started changing my own filters about 10 years ago when I realized how much I could save, and how incredibly UNcomplicated it is. Anyone can find super easy instruction and videos on YouTube. Obviously some cars differ, but I've yet to find one that isn't as easy as replacing batteries in a remote. These filters are the exactly same size, and are made from good quality materials that are equally as good as the OEM filters I pulled out of my 2025 Honda CRV Gas vehicle. They're wrapped in plastic, so they're as clean as an be when you get them. It literally takes less than 10 minutes to switch out these filters, so you're saving a bundle by doing it yourself! Compared to having a dealer do it, this is a super great value, as they not only charge for labor, they probably charge twice as much for the filters themselves. So far, I have had any issues with air flow, and have not gotten any weird warning signs, so clearly they're functioning in the same way the dealers parts do. I mean, they look and act just like the parts already in the vehicle, so I don't expect any issues.

Easy DIY replacement
This engine and cabin air filter kit was an easy and worthwhile replacement for my vehicle. Both filters fit exactly as expected and matched the originals in size and shape. Installation was quick and straightforward. The cabin air filter slid right into place, and the engine air filter seated properly with no gaps or bending. Airflow immediately felt improved, and there were no warning lights or fitment issues after installation. The filters appear well made and sturdy, not flimsy or overly thin. It’s convenient having both the engine and cabin filters included in one kit instead of purchasing them separately, especially for routine maintenance. If you drive a compatible CR-V or Civic and want a simple, cost effective DIY replacement, this kit does the job well and saves time.
