Dear Clearaudio customer,

Thank you for choosing a high-quality Clearaudio V2 moving

magnet (MM) cartridge.

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, ensuring its uniqueness

and quality.

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

depends primarily on your specic tonearm and turntable.

Many thanks again for choosing Clearaudio.

We wish you much musical enjoyment with your new MM cartridge.

Clearaudio electronic GmbH

CAUTION:

Not suitable for shellac records (78rpm).

This phono cartridge is only for mounting on tonearms and

must not be used for other purposes.

2. Mounting procedure

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

recommend leaving the needle guard on the cartridge while mounting

the cartridge onto the tonearm.

Use the screws provided to mount your Clearaudio 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 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 needle 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 spring

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 space 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 Matrix cleaning machines.

• 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 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.

• Always use the original packaging when shipping the cartridge

and secure the needle protector with a rubber band.

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

please contact your dealer / distributor or contact Clearaudio

directly. We can advise you of your nearest service location.

Clearaudio user manual will invalidate the product warranty.

Clearaudio will assume no liability for any such damage.

PLEASE RETAIN ALL ORIGINAL PACKAGING.

You will need it if this unit has to be transported and/or shipped.

Any further questions you may have about your product should be

directed to the distributor or directly to Clearaudio.

Clearaudio wish you a much enjoyment of your music!
