Clearaudio Essence MC
Description
Take the best and improve it"... sometimes, Clearaudio's motto turns out to be quite a challenge. Especially when it calls for an entirely new cartridge design that will improve our entry-level mc cartridge concept but without breaking a key price point!
How did we do that? By taking the "essence" of the mc design concept and applying even stricter controls to every element of its construction. The boron cantilever, the micro-line stylus and of course Clearaudio's patented moving coil generator were subjected to the most rigorous scrutiny, thereby ensuring superb dynamics, fine resolution and channel matching better than 0.5 dB.
The electrical parameters are such that the essence mc will match almost any MC phono stage, guaranteeing superb results: natural tonality, three-dimensional soundstaging, lively dynamics and captivating musicality. This is the very essence of our new MC!
