Dear audio enthusiast,
Thank you and welcome to the NEW V2 GENERATION of Clearaudio MC cartridges.
You have purchased a product of truly high-end-class with new design features never done before.
Clearaudio MC cartridges represent top quality of German craftsmanship and their superior quality has been
proved and documented in numerous reviews world wide over almost 3 decades. Starting at the source, the
reproduction via vinyl, we can assure you awless musical satisfaction which is a basic feeling for those who
love music as we do.
This new generation of MC cartridges are exceptional devices with the following patented features:
• 8 magnets of the strongest structure today generate a totally homogeneous magnetic eld.
Never ever done before.
• The eciency (dynamics) is increased up to 30% more compared to conventional
applications and you will have more musical information from the sensible signal.
• Clearaudio has developed in research and rened the manufacturing that we could claim:
this is the reason for a sole position worldwide and you have bought an incomparable product.
The
Goldnger Statement‘s
14 Karat gold body features no less than twelv e magnets arranged in a Clearaudio
12 Magnet Ring conguration. The use of twelve magnets has allowed Clearaudio to use pure 24 Karat gold
for the coils, wound with wire 30% thinner than that used previously. This further reduces the moving mass
and provides a generator assembly of incredible eciency.
The improvements incorporated within the
Goldnger Statement
lead to:
• Higher output
• Improved channel separation
• Increased dynamic range
• Ultra-high resolution of even the nest details.
PERFECTLY BALANCED Cartridge NEW GENERATION: CLEARAUDIO MOVING COIL Cartridges are
mechanically, magnetically, and electrically balanced. The gold coils are positioned precisely between
8 pcs. of identically strong magnets (
Goldnger Statement
12 magnets). Two separate micro goldcoils are
then directly mounted at the cantilever and positioned to the front and rear sides of the pivot point, working
in the same manner as an inside, homogeneous magnetic eld. This results in extremely good linearity and
the lowest distortion, with a dynamic range of up to 100 db.
EXCELLENT LINEARITY
The Clearaudio design guarantees superb linearity in phase response. Because of the patented location of
the micro gold coils within the 8 magnets, the vibrating elements are always in precision perfect balance.
This conguration ensures a symmetrical distribution of the mass within the two vibrating systems all the
time.

The identical micro gold coils and positioned within the two magnetic elds ensure the same mechanical
movement of the coils, the same electrical level signal is generated from both channels.
The result is an extremely good and far better channel separation than other manufactures, while the same
phase response for both, the left and the right channels. This patented design ensures Clearaudio to be the
world wide leader in the eld of Moving Coil cartridges.

1. Mounting Procedure
1. Always handle your cartridge with the protective stylus guard in place.
2. Align the mounting holes of the headshell or tonearm with the holes in the cartridge.
3. Attach tonearm wires to cartridge pins, being careful not to add too much force. Also be sure proper
channel and polarity is maintained.
4. Insert the screws through the headshell holes and engage them to the inner threads of the cartridge body.
Please take care to not overtight them by force.
NOTE: Always try to use Clearaudio cartridge gold clips or damage may result on cartridge pins.
5. Mount the headshell onto the tonearm (if not intergrated), and adjust the overhang as per tonearm
manufacturer‘s specications and tighten cartridge mounting screws fully with the accesssory screwdriver.
Take care that the cartridge is sitting at and have a full contact to the headshell.
Please read these instructions carefully before attempting to connect or install your MC cartridge to avoid any
loss of warranty. There is a very high possibility of damaging your moving coil cartridge, while connecting or
disconnecting to a preamplier or phonostage which is not properly grounded.
If the ground of your preamplier and ground of your tonearm and turntable are not connected together,
there could be a dangerous situation for your MC cartridge (which will be not covered under warr anty). Under
such conditions during the procedure of your tonearm rst cable connecting to your preamplier, there could
be a high hum voltage of up to 150 V 150 Hz respectively 80 V 160 Hz present! (Depending on preampliercircuit design!) High current which could ow through your MC cartridge during the plug in procedure could
result in damaging and melting very ne MC Coil gold wires.
This would be not covered by Clearaudio warranty! Therefore, be careful and follow instructions below:
1. Connect tonearm turntable ground with preamplier ground (before plugging in the
electrical power supply)
2. Mount MC cartridge into the tonearm
3. First plug the tonearm cable into the phono inputs an your preamplier
4. Preamplier volume control must be placed fully down (position „ 0 „)
5. Plug the main power cord into your electrical power supply
6. Switch „ ON „your preamplier
7. Your MC-Cartridge is ready to play!
Keep cool and concentrated when adjusting the cartridge.
Damaged music reproduction or cartridge fault will never reproduce the one we love: music
ATTENTION:
NOT FOR SHELLAC (78RPM) RECORDS SUITABLE!

2. Adjusting the Tracking Force
Carefully remove the stylus protection guard. This can be done by grasping it from the rear with thumb and
index nger and pulling it rearward gently. The correct tracking force is approximately 2,8 g. Please use only
these values, as a light tracking force (1 gram or less) would allow the stylus to jump an the record grooves
will cause damage. NEVER exceed 5 grams tracking force or damage to stylus or cartridge may result.
If optimum tracking force cannot be set because the cartridge is too light for the arm, please use Clearaudio
headshell spacers, available from the importer / dealer.
3. Other adjustments
1. The correct position of the cartridge (overhang setting) depends of the length and shape of the tonearm
and of the mounting point of the tonearm bearing. For precise setting you need a setting template, which is
usually supplied or oered by the manufacturer of the respective turntable or tonearm.
Often quite inaccurate paper- or plastic templates are attached, which do not allow precise adjustments due
to the material. Special overhang templates are available through your local dealer or from Clearaudio
(Art. No. AC005/IEC).
2. The distance between the lower edge of the cartridge when lowered to the record surface should be
0.8 mm.
3. Please adjust the tracking force. To check the adjustment (trackability) you can use a test records which
is available through you dealer (for example Clearaudio Art. No. LPT83063).
4. Setting the Anti-skating: Many tonearms have a device to compensate the anti-skating force.
Please proceed according to the user manual of your tonearm manufacturer.
For absolutely correct setting we would also like to recommend a test record.
