A sonic experience.

Charisma V2

The Charisma V2 marks the new pinnacle amongst clearaudio’s moving magnet cartridges. After clearaudio has long been setting standards at the absolute world-class level with its moving coil cartridges, the aim was to create a true statement amongst moving magnet pickups as well.

Weight

9.0 g

Output voltage

3.6 mV at 5 cm/s

Material/colour

Ebony

Peak of the moving magnets

The range from concept V2 to Maestro V2 already regularly convinces specialist press and music fans of the high quality standard of clearaudio MM cartridges. The Charisma V2 now places itself at the peak of these “moving magnets”.

Ready to play: The clearaudio Charisma V2 delivers high output voltage thanks to powerful magnets.

Technology from the Goldfinger Statement

For this, only the very best from clearaudio was an option: the diamond-doped boron cantilever is the same as in the Goldfinger Statement. The double-polished diamond is mounted onto the cantilever with the utmost precision.

Noble design with acoustic function: The ebony body of the clearaudio Charisma V2 with striking nickel silver inlay for resonance reduction.

High output voltage

Particularly strong magnets give the dynamic Charisma V2 an almost record-breakingly high output voltage of around 3.6 mV. This enables it to drive even less sensitive MM phono preamplifiers effortlessly.

Ready to play: The clearaudio Charisma V2 delivers high output voltage thanks to powerful magnets.

Ebony with nickel silver inlay

Excellent frequency responses and high channel separation form the foundation for its performance. Complementing the hand-crafted ebony body, a clearaudio nickel silver inlay smooths out unwanted resonances.

Simply charismatic.

The result is a sonic experience that has hardly seemed possible with MM cartridges until now – simply charismatic.
