CONCEPT
The best concept
Clearaudio’s vision for the concept: design an elegantly
styled turntable package featuring a level of groundbreaking technology usually
only found in high-end turntables, combining plug-and-play simplicity with
outstanding sound quality and affordability.
Beneath the sleek, contemporary exterior is a level of
technical sophistication unique to Clearaudio.
The concept’s body is carefully crafted from medium-density
wood fibre (or, optionally, pressure-formed solid wood) with a selection of
smart made-to-match surface finishes. The body’s upper layer incorporates a
special high-tech satined plastic compound designed to minimise unwanted
resonance.
The DC motor is fed by an external voltage-stabilised power
supply and is completely decoupled from the turntable’s body to ensure no
mechanical interference.
The package is completed with the high quality Maestro
v2 MM cartridge.
Innovative, high-performing, user-friendly and affordable.
Now that’s what we call an unbeatable concept.

Clearaudio Satisfy Carbon Fiber Tonearm
The Satisfy CF (Carbon Fiber) tonearm features high-quality,
handmade Swiss vertical and lateral bearings composed of polished
sapphire. A carbon fiber arm tube is exceptionally rigid and reduces
resonance for enhanced clarity. A two-piece aluminum headshell with
adjustable azimuth allows the accurate alignment of any phono cartridge
type. Anti-skating control is applied by an innovative magnetic system
that acts on the side of the bearing housing. Clearaudio’s hardwired
Direct Wire tonearm cable assures signal integrity, ideal for all high-quality
cartridges, including low-output moving coils.
The Satisfy CF uses the Clearaudio/Linn standard mount,
making it compatible with all Clearaudio turntables and an ideal replacement
tonearm for other brand turntables.
“I think the Satisfy tonearm… is a true bargain…
truly amazing for its price.” – Jack Roberts, Dagogo, September 2008

Clearaudio Maestro V2 Ebony Phono Cartridge
The Clearaudio V2 moving magnet cartridges are meticulously
measured, analysed, and hand-selected into four performance levels. In this way
Clearaudio achieves the best stereo channel matching, minimum phase error and
distortion, flattest frequency response and highest dynamic range at each price
point.
The cartridges produce an audiophile sound of superlative
quality – spatially detailed and vividly textured, with bass that does not
wallow and treble that is not harsh. The models of the Clearaudio MM V2 series
provide outstanding sound quality on all current tonearms.
All the cartridges in this series are made with housings of
hand-polished ebony – the key to record-breaking weight values.
