Product description Pro-Ject Pick it S2 C
A versatile cartridge system that combines musical precision with practical handling and appeals equally to hi-fi fans and active DJs. The cartridge developed by Pro-Ject and Ortofon impresses with a clear, dynamic sound image that works out details cleanly while creating a lively soundstage. Its black polycarbonate housing gives it a stable base and a modern, unobtrusive presence on the tonearm.
Easy installation and everyday usability
The SME connector makes your daily operation much easier. A single firm movement is enough to change the cartridge or remove it for transport. For you, this means more flexibility – whether you're setting up a set or switching between different records. Thanks to the high output voltage, the system is also ideal for situations where the phono input is slightly weaker, without you having to compromise on sound.
Expressive sound character
The combination of robust construction and a lively sound profile ensures that music is reproduced with clear contours regardless of genre. Details stand out clearly, while the fundamental tone remains defined and pleasantly structured. The particularly pronounced soundstage is noticeable in spatial recordings and gives your listening experience additional depth.
Adaptability through replaceable stylus
The ability to replace the stylus when needed gives you additional freedom. A replaceable stylus not only allows for easy replacement when worn, but also enables sound adjustments using compatible models such as OM20 or OM30. This lets you continue using the system long-term and adapt it to your listening preferences.
Solid construction and matched compatibility
The polycarbonate body provides a rigid housing structure that reduces unwanted resonances and gives the cartridge additional stability. Its tuning for medium-mass tonearms ensures that tracking, guidance, and scanning work reliably – an important factor for consistently precise results.

Top Gerät...
Ich bin ebenfalls begeistert von dem TA. An meinem Pro Ject. Debut S Shape ist der sehr dynamisch unterwegs. Obenrum etwas undefiniert. Unbedingt das Auflagegewicht nich unter 3-2,5 stellen. Hört sich besser an und dynamischer. Würde ich jederzeit wieder kaufen oder um eine OM30 Nadel zu tauschen.

Den Pro-Ject Pick It S2 C ist kurz um. Ein Geiles Teil. Bin absolut zufrieden damit und komme aus meinem Hobbyraum kaum noch raus.
