Clearaudio Performer v2 Ebony MM Phono Cartridge

You Won't Believe the Level of Performance

You won't believe the level of the performance that Performer V2 provides for its low price. Performer V2 is a very affordable entry in Clearaudio's V2 series of ebony-body moving magnet phono cartridges. Minimal distortion, flat frequency response, and a high output voltage provide a vivid and tactile musicality.

The Performer V2 has a frequency response of 23 Hz to 20 kHz, 3.6 mV output voltage, and channel separation of >26 dB at 1 kHz.

"Clean, Well-Defined Bass"

"It has incredible dynamic range, excellent frequency extension including clean, well-defined bass and pristine highs," notes 'rhing' at VinylEngine.com. "The soundstage is deep and wide and the imaging is three dimensional."

V2 Series Advantages

With the V2 series of moving magnet cartridges Clearaudio sets new standards in the technical parameters of impedance, inductance, load capacitance and sensitivity. Ongoing research, development and analysis in Clearaudio's laboratory allows the company to attain near perfect balance of the stereo channels, reduce distortion to vanishing levels, and increase output level with a flat frequency response to provide a vivid and enthralling musical performance.

Clearaudio V2-series MM cartridges feature a resonance-optimized ebony housing. In comparison to the company's critically acclaimed Aurum series, the V2 series offers less coloration and more natural sound, more powerful magnets for greater dynamic range, and higher output voltage for lower noise levels.
