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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf course the 2M isn’t just another pretty face.
