The clearaudio N2 combines advanced carbon-fiber technology, high output performance, and maximum tonearm compatibility in a versatile next-generation MM cartridge.

Refined manufacturing standards and meticulous component selection allow the N2 to unlock its full performance potential, making it a compelling choice for discerning vinyl enthusiasts.

Low Resonance: The material structure minimizes unwanted vibrations, creating a clean and stable sonic foundation.

Precision Finish: A high-quality black laser-engraved finish underscores the cartridge’s industrial high-end character.

Secure Mounting: Integrated threaded metal inserts ensure stable and reliable
attachment to the headshell.

Enhanced Dynamics: With an increased output voltage of 3.3 mV, the N2 offers powerful, detailed playback on a level comparable to the acclaimed concept v2 series.

Ideal Weight: At precisely 8.5 grams, the N2 is significantly lighter than the aluminum bodied N1. This eliminates potential compatibility concerns and allows the N2 to perform exceptionally well with a wide variety of tonearms, particularly lighter designs.

Edward ★★★★★

The carbon-fiber body makes it track incredibly well through complex passages on my older jazz records. Output level is strong enough that I don't need to crank my preamp, which cleaned up the background noise noticeably. Very pleased with this upgrade.

Claire J. ★★★★★

The carbon-fiber construction makes this cartridge noticeably lighter than my old one, which really helped with tracking on my arm. It picked up detail from inner grooves I hadn’t heard before on familiar records.

Nicholas X. ★★★★★

Installed this on my Rega arm and the carbon-fiber construction really tames any unwanted resonance, making the soundstage feel much more open. Volume is noticeably higher than my previous cartridge, which is a nice bonus for my phono stage.
