As the flagship model of clearaudio’s moving-magnet cartridge range, the Charisma V2 combines exceptional musicality with innovative engineering. Its handcrafted ebony body, featuring an integrated nickel-silver inlay, effectively minimizes resonances and provides the foundation for precise, dynamic, and highly resolving sound reproduction.
Equipped with a diamond-coated boron cantilever derived from the reference Goldfinger Statement cartridge and exceptionally powerful magnets, the Charisma V2 achieves a high output voltage of 3.6 mV. The result is an impressively detailed and spacious soundstage, outstanding channel separation, and remarkable expressive power—making it a true statement in the moving-magnet cartridge segment.
The range from concept V2 to Maestro V2 already regularly convinces specialist press and music fans of the high quality standard of clearaudio MM cartridges. The Charisma V2 now places itself at the peak of these “moving magnets”.
Technology from the Goldfinger Statement
For this, only the very best from clearaudio was an option: the diamond-doped boron cantilever is the same as in the Goldfinger Statement. The double-polished diamond is mounted onto the cantilever with the utmost precision.
High output voltage
Particularly strong magnets give the dynamic Charisma V2 an almost record-breakingly high output voltage of around 3.6 mV. This enables it to drive even less sensitive MM phono preamplifiers effortlessly.
Ebony with nickel silver inlay
Excellent frequency responses and high channel separation form the foundation for its performance. Complementing the hand-crafted ebony body, a clearaudio nickel silver inlay smooths out unwanted resonances.
The result is a sonic experience that has hardly seemed possible with MM cartridges until now – simply charismatic.
