The N2’s body is manufactured from a specially formulated PETG-CF composite, reinforced with carbon fibers. This advanced material provides significantly greater rigidity than conventional plastics.
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.
The clearaudio N2 combines innovative 3D-printing technology with advanced materials to deliver maximum flexibility and establish a new benchmark for universally compatible moving magnet cartridges.
Like the N1 before it, the N2 features clearaudio’s proven plug-in stylus assembly system. The stylus unit can be replaced quickly and easily whenever required, simplifying maintenance and supporting the cartridge’s long-term durability.
