Engineering in the service of sound.

Artist V2

The MM Technology V2 relies on ebony as a low-resonance housing foundation. This is complemented by the most efficient possible reduction of moving mass, optimised HD grinding techniques for the stylus and highly effective damping of the cartridge.

Material/Colour

Ebony

Measured multiple times and hand-selected

The moving magnet cartridges are measured multiple times in four planes, analysed and hand-selected. In this way, clearaudio achieves perfect homogeneity of the stereo channels and minimal phase or transient distortions.

Audiophile sound image

With linear frequency response and high output voltage, a spatial, detailed, multi-coloured and simultaneously homogeneous sound image is created – with precise bass and clear treble.

Lightweight and low-resonance

Apart from the concept V2, which is manufactured from aluminium, the body of all cartridges in this range is made from hand-polished ebony.

Strong on many tonearms.

The models in the clearaudio MM-V2 series deliver convincing sound quality on all common tonearms.
