Clearaudio Aurum Alpha Mk2

Clearaudio Moving Magnet (MM) cartridges offer first rate sound and value with a precision feel. Our MM cartridges undergo stringent quality control, achieving the tightest tolerance by individual testing and selection.

The patented design and manufacture of these cartridges is based on the newest technical advancements. Since 1978, our long term experience and knowledge in MC cartridges have led to the development of these patented MM phono cartridges.

One design highlight is the precisely finished large mounting plate featuring an absolutely flat top surface. This offers an optimal mechanical connection to the tonearm headshell for excellent dynamics and extended bass.

The Clearaudio MM phono cartridges are available in two versions of this mounting plate: Stainless steel and Fernambuk wood.

Clearaudio Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges are precision products that are held to the most stringent quality control standards. The patented assembly process is based on the newest technical advances. Through this process, we hand select materials that are held to the tightest tolerances. The mounting plate of the Alpha, Beta and Beta S cartridges are made of a special resonance free lead alloy material. The Virtuoso Wood uses a special "Fernambuk" wood mounting plate that is only available in the Bavarian Black Forest. Clearaudio Moving Magnet phono cartridges distinguish themselves in a long lifespan, and a replaceable cantilever. An extremely linear frequency response, and an exceptional dynamic response insure a very uniform soundstage. Clearaudio MM cartridges are compatible with virtually all tonearms.

CLEARAUDIO MM Phono cartridges are distinguished by:

  • Long lifespan
  • Robust construction
  • High output
  • Wide channel separation
  • Extremely linear frequency response
  • Coherent imaging
  • Superior dynamics (through the use of special strong magnets)
  • Compatibility with all current tonearms
  • Hand selected
  • Made in Germany

    Let us introduce you to the advancements of our new MM system.
  • Reduction of the moving mass
  • Shape and cut of the diamond needle
  • Ideal motion and dampening of the cantilever
  • Optimization of the impedance, inductance and load capacitance

    The improvement of the individual parts minimize phase and transient distortion while ensuring the equal output from both right and left channels. The selection process, via our multi-parameter testing procedures makes it possible for us to ensure extremely tight tolerances during production. The result is to maximize performance at every level in our Aurum MM series.

    Aurum cartridges feature high efficiency magnets, an output of 3.3 mill Volts and aluminium cantilevers.
