Dear audio enthusiast,

each component part that makes up a Clearaudio V2.1 MM cartridge

is measured several times, analysed and hand-selected, as is the

final, 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 V2.1 to the Maestro V2.1, our MM cartridges have

long been at the forefront of the moving magnet field and have proved

popular among music lovers for their distinctive high quality.

The

Charisma V2.1

is the new flagship of the Clearaudio MM

cartridge range. Only the finest materials qualified for inclusion,

including the same diamond-coated Boron cantilever found in our

world-leading Goldfinger Statement MC cartridge.

The use of highly efficient magnets gives the dynamic

Charisma V2 .1

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

sensitive phono stages.

The 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.

Please note:

This user manual gives you valuable information for the correct installation

of your cartridge. For ne adjustment, however, we can only provide

general guidelines, since the optimal adjustment depend primarily on your

specic tonearm and turntable.

Many thanks again for choosing Clearaudio.

We wish you much musical enjoyment with your new

Charisma V2.1

cartridge.

Safety instructions

1. Maintenance

•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 matrix cleaning machines.

•Always keep the stylus tip clean. Clean the needle regularly with a

soft brush or with a commercially available cleaning uid (Clearaudio

Elixir of Sound Art. No. AC003). Please make sure that no liquid gets

on the cartridge body.

•Avoid storing the cartridge near devices with electrical transformers

and motors that can generate magnetic elds. Any demagnetization

could result in a loss of output voltage and thus distortion or

deterioration in the sound.

• 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.

Important - please note:

Do not try to remove the stylus assembly yourself.

Any damage caused by failure to follow the advice given in the Clearaudio

user manual will invalidate the product warranty.

Clearaudio will assume no liability for any such damage.

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.

User manual / Bedienungsanleitung

We recommend the following order of assembly:

1. Mount the

Charisma V2.1

MM cartridge into the tonearm.

2. Connect the tonearm or turntable ground with the preampli ier

ground (before plugging in the electrical power supply).

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

preamplifier.

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 for your MM 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 case 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.
