Clearaudio Concerto v2.1 MC Cartridge

Clearaudio Concerto v2.1 MC Cartridge Product Description: 

Introducing the Concerto v2.1, the latest addition to Clearaudio's esteemed MC line, boasting a fusion of our signature twelve-finger body and a fully symmetrical moving coil phono cartridge generator. Crafted to perfection, the twelve-finger design of the mounting plate minimizes cartridge body resonances during precise groove tracking, each finger uniquely engineered with varying radii. Constructed from Satinee wood, renowned for its resonance-dampening properties, the v2 mounting plate features a tapped metal insert for optimal coupling to the headshell, ensuring unparalleled performance.

Pioneered by Peter Suchy in the 1970s, the distinctive moving coil phono cartridge generator design stands out for its mechanical, magnetic, and electrical symmetry. With the Concerto v2.1 generator, the innovative placement of 24-karat pure gold air-core coils amidst a doubled array of super neodymium magnets achieves superior linearity and reduced distortion. Enhanced with the latest Micro-HD Diamond stylus mounted on a solid boron rod cantilever, this cartridge faithfully translates groove modulations, delivering exceptional transient response, precise musical timing, and dynamic range.
