Concept Record Clamp
The ergonomic form of this record clamp is precision machined from aluminium, black anodised and finished with a silver rim. On the underside is a Teflon insert that locates over the spindle for frictionless positioning.
Clearaudio
Turntable technology at it’s finest
1978 was the year Peter Suchy and his team developed Clearaudio’s first moving coil cartridges. The patented fully symmetrical design and the choice of a boron cantilever were pioneering approaches which guide others to this day – while Clearaudio continues to refine them. ‘Made in Germany’ at Clearaudio stands for the highest quality, using high-end materials and the perfect technical implementation of intelligent innovation. Every product in Clearaudio’s portfolio is conceived and produced by highly skilled specialists and precision engineers in the science city of Erlangen.
Since its inception, Clearaudio has amazed music lovers in more than 80 countries worldwide with analogue playback devices that set new standards of audio reproduction and constantly raise the bar a little higher. The range now also includes – in addition to high-end turntables, tonearms and cartridges – phonostages, preamplifiers, class A power amplifiers, connectors, cables and audio racks plus a wide range of accessories for maximum listening pleasure. The company has also embraced music production and now creates Clearaudio’s own audiophile recordings and lovingly supervised re-releases of legendary classical discs once produced for the world famous Deutsche Grammophon.
Passionate and specialised staff, the highest quality materials, skilful workmanship, uncompromisingly accurate design and ingenious production technology – all taking place in Erlangen, centre of science and location of the world-famous Friedrich-Alexander University. Our city shapes and influences our aspirations and expertise. In close proximity to the Fraunhofer and Max Planck Institutes, our engineers and mechanics research future technology – for ever greater acoustic quality. Under the Clearaudio banner, highly trained perfectionists with innovative imaginations help to make audiophile visions come true.

Precision engineering in the pursuit of the best sound
The Clearaudio V2 moving magnet cartridges are meticulously measured, analysed, and hand-selected into four performance levels. In this way Clearaudio achieves the best stereo channel matching, minimum phase error and distortion, flattest frequency response and highest dynamic range at each price point.
The cartridges produce an audiophile sound of superlative quality – spatially detailed and vividly textured, with bass that does not wallow and treble that is not harsh. The models of the Clearaudio MM V2 series provide outstanding sound quality on all current tone arms.

The Nano phono headphone V2 stage isn't ruffled by anything. External interferences are no longer an issue with this fine piece of engineering.
Its meticulously selected SMD components are assembled by hand in Erlangen and tested several times. The reward of these efforts is a signal to noise ratio of up to 84 decibels. The input impedance is set using plug-in links, so there is no loss of quality when using different moving magnet and moving coil cartridges.
The Nano Phono Headphone additionally contains a powerful headphone amplifier within the solid aluminium housing for private listening at the highest fidelity.

Precision engineering in the pursuit of the best sound
Clearaudio's V2 MM technology uses ebony as a resonance resistant body. Other ingredients of the recipe for success are the most effective reduction of moving mass, an optimized polishing technique for the stylus and highly effective cartridge damping.

Reduce to the maximum
The Concept MC combines high-quality moving coil technology with a minimalist design. Here, audiophile explorers discover what the optimisation of magnetic circuits can deliver: this cartridge releases crystal clear sounds and represents nothing less than a revolution in its class.
Equipped with a boron cantilever, the Concept MC has channel matching to within half a decibel, 11 ohms internal impedance and is fitted with a Micro Line stylus – features normally unheard of in this price range. All of which adds up to make this high quality cartridge a bargain for the cost-conscious high-end fan.

Clearaudio Verify .... Elegant Listening
The Verify tone arm presents Clearaudio's innovative and ground breaking magnetic bearing technology in an elegant package. Super solid, resonance-optimised carbon fibre is the basis for a user friendly radial design.
The Verify can be used with virtually all cartridges with a weight from 2.5 to 19 grams, but reaches its maximum performance potential and richest sound when combined with the Clearaudio Concept turntable and a Clearaudio moving coil (MC) cartridge.

Clearaudio Basic V2 Phono stage
Its predecessor, the basic plus, was a multi award winner and with the V2 we’ve taken all of that coveted ‘Plus’ technology up a notch.

Reduce to the maximum
Take the best and make it better"… sometimes the Clearaudio motto proves to be quite a challenge. Especially when it calls for a brand new cartridge design that will improve upon our entry level Concept MC cartridge but without breaking a key price point!
How did we do it? By taking the 'essence' of the Concept MC design and applying even tighter controls to every element of its construction. The boron cantilever, the micro-line stylus and of course the Clearaudio patented moving coil generator have been subjected to the most stringent scrutiny, thus ensuring superb dynamics, fine resolution and channel matching of better than 0.5dB.
The electrical parameters are such that the Essence MC will match with almost any MC phono stage, guaranteeing superb results: natural tonality, three dimensional sound staging, vivid dynamics and captivating musicality. That's the essence of our new MC!

Clearaudio Clarify - Smooth Pleasure
This Clearaudio innovation transmits even tiny signals without any interference and remains absolutely unaffected by resonances. If mechanical parts do not touch, there can be no friction. The Clarify tone arm uses magnetic bearings and is therefore completely frictionless.
The Clarify can be used with virtually all cartridges with a weight from 2.5 to 19 grams, but reaches its maximum performance potential and richest sound when combined with the Ovation turntable and a Clearaudio moving coil (MC) cartridge.
