Clearaudio da Vinci V2 Moving Coil Cartridge

The V2 moving coil cartridge bodies of the Clearaudio models (Talismann V2 Gold, Concerto V2, Stradivari V2, da Vinci V2, Titanium V2) are made out of the following: titanium, ceramic coated aluminum, Ebony and Satinee wood. The generator construction of the new V2 moving coil cartridge generation is absolutely symmetrical: mechanically, magnetically and electrically. All Clearaudio moving coils use their proven 24-karat pure gold coils.

The da Vinci V2 is a step-above the Stradivari V2 MC cartridge.

Clearaudio has significantly improved their fully symmetrical moving coil phono cartridge design, first patented in 1980.

They redesigned the generator in a revolutionary way by positioning and doubling the magnets (to 8 pieces) so the coils are operating in a much stronger magnetic field. Furthermore, they have chosen the strongest magnetic material available: super neodymium. Through these achievements, the efficiency has been raised by 30%, which results in an output of up to 0.9 mV at 5cm/sec. All models now utilize the improved V2 generator.

The new Micro-HD Diamond tip provides a hybrid parabolic geometry with a stylus radii of 0.008mm x 0.040mm. The total mass (0.00016 grams) is a fifth of the previous diamond stylus.

Cartridge body resonances, while tracking in the groove, are minimized through the twelve-finger design of the mounting plate, each finger with a different radius.
