Dear audio enthusiast,

each component part that makes up a Clearaudio V2 MM cartridge

is measured analysed and hand-selected, as is the nal, completed

cartridge. Every cartridge is 100% “Made in Germany” by Clearaudio’s

own dedicated in-house team, thus ensuring its uniqueness and quality.

From the concept V2 to the Maestro V2, our MM cartridges have long

been at the forefront of the moving magnet eld and have proved popular

among music lovers for their distinctive high quality.

The

Charisma V2

is the new agship of the Clearaudio MM cartridge

range. Only the nest materials qualied for inclusion, including the same

diamond-coated Boron cantilever found in our world-leading Goldnger

Statement MC cartridge.

The use of highly ecient magnets gives the dynamic

Charisma V2

almost record-breaking output, easily enough to amply drive less sensitive

phono stages.

The double-polished diamond stylus is mounted on the cantilever with

matchless precision, ensuring excellent frequency response and the

highest channel separation. The cartridge body is made from the nest

ebony wood and is set with a German silver inlay.

2. Mounting procedure

Take the cartridge out of the packaging. To avoid damage, we recommend

leaving the stylus guard on the cartridge while mounting the cartridge

onto the tonearm.

Use the screws provided to mount your Clearaudio

Charisma V2 MM

cartridge (the cartridge threads in the body comply with the metric

standard for M 2.5mm screws and have the standard spacing of 12.7mm).

Be careful not to over-tighten the screws as they may strip the

threaded holes.

Now connect the pins of your Clearaudio cartridge to the jacks of the

headshell or tonearm cable, taking care not to use too much force.

If necessary, you can use suitable precision pliers or tweezers for

assistance.

Please note the colour coding below in order to ensure the correct phase

in music playback, otherwise an audible sound deterioration would result.

We recommend the following order of assembly:

1. Mount the

Charisma V2

MM cartridge into the tonearm.

2. Connect the tonearm or turntable ground with the preamplier

ground (before plugging in the electrical power supply).

3. Plug the tonearm cable into the phono inputs of your

preamplier.

4. Turn down the volume control to a minimum position

(position 0).

5. Plug the mains power cord into your electrical power supply.

Our tip for mounting the cartridge:

Choose a bright workplace and good tools, and take your time so you can

concentrate.

3. Adjustment of the tracking force

Carefully remove the stylus guard from the cartridge by grasping it with

your thumb and forenger and gently pulling it forward.

The correct tracking force of your cartridge can be found in the technical

data in this user manual. Please only use these values, since if the tracking

force is too light (1g or less) the cartridge could jump out of the record

groove and damage the needle.

However, you should never set a tracking force of more than 5g as this

could cause damage to the diamond and thus to the cartridge.

In the event that it is not possible to set the optimal tracking force due

the cartridge being too light, you should use a spacer plate available from

your Clearaudio importer/dealer.

Further valuable information for the correct adjustment of your cartridge

can be found in the respective user manual of the turntable and/ or

tonearm manufacturer.

4. Special instructions

• Before playing a record, please remove all dust and dirt from the

record’s surface using a quality cleaning device. For the best results, a

record cleaning machine should be used.

Ask your dealer about Clearaudio´ s record cleaning machines.

• Always keep the stylus tip clean. When dirt is allowed to build up and

records are played with a dirty or clogged stylus, a buzzing noise may

be heard. Use a high quality cleaning brush or Clearaudio cleaning

uid to clean the stylus tip. Be extremely careful and always brush only

from back to front. When using a liquid e.g. from Clearaudio or other

organic cleaner, always take care not to spill any on the cartridge body.

Make sure the liquid only contacts the stylus tip or boron cantilever.

• Please note:

Never disconnect your tonearm cable from your pre-amplier while

your unit is still on. Please switch your pre-amplier o before starting

to disconnecting your tonearm connectors from the phono inputs of

your pre-amplier.

• Always use the original packaging when shipping the cartridge and

secure the stylus guard with a rubber band.

• If any service or repair to a Clearaudio product is necessary, please

contact your dealer / distributor.

We can advise you of your nearest service location.
