The new gateway to MM cartridge excellence – compact, powerful, unmistakably Clearaudio
Clearaudio sets a new benchmark in the entry-level MM cartridge class – streamlined to the essentials, yet uncompromising in sound quality, craftsmanship, and choice of materials. A cartridge that delivers sonic performance far beyond its price category.
The newly designed, anodized aluminum housing serves as a highly rigid structural frame and offers an ideally balanced total weight of just 12.6 grams. This makes it perfectly suited for both light and heavy tonearms – and an ideal match for the Clearaudio compass turntable.
Available in classic black or elegant silver, it visually complements a wide range of tonearms and turntables.
A standout feature is the innovative quick-swap stylus system, which allows for hassle-free replacement – even while the cartridge remains mounted. Ideal for unexpected accidents or routine maintenance.
Welcome to Clearaudio’s new compact class of MM cartridges – sonically captivating, technically refined, and exceptionally accessible.
