Clearaudio Moving Magnet (MM) cartridges offer first rate sound and value with a precision feel. Their MM cartridges undergo stringent quality control, achieving the tightest tolerance by individual testing and selection. The Aurum Classics Wood features 3.3mV output and great sound quality for any budget!

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.

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.
The improvements achieved include:
• 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

Special Note: Clearaudio cartridges must be played for about 15 to 20 minutes until they "break" in and lose a high frequency edge and brittleness.
