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 qualied for inclusion, including the same
diamond-coated Boron cantilever found in our world-leading Goldnger
Statement MC cartridge.
The use of highly ecient magnets gives the dynamic
Charisma V2
an
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 preamplier
ground (before plugging in the electrical power supply).
3. Plug the tonearm cable into the phono inputs of your
preamplier.
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 forenger 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-amplier while
your unit is still on. Please switch your pre-amplier o before starting
to disconnecting your tonearm connectors from the phono inputs of
your pre-amplier.
• 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.
