Manufacturer's Description:
CONCEPT CARTRIDGES
To compliment their Concept turntable, Clearaudio has introduced two affordable, high-performance cartridges, the Concept MM (Moving Magnet) and Concept MC (Moving Coil). Due to the unique "frictionless magnetic bearing" design of Concept's Verify tonearm, either cartridge is available factory pre-installed on the Concept turntable at a special package price. Both Clearaudio Concept MM and MC cartridges are also available separately for use on Clearaudio or other brand turntables.
The Concept MM features an aluminum body and is a high output moving magnet cartridge based on Clearaudio's popular Aurum Wood Classic mkII. Its sound is both musical and inviting, with classic moving magnet warmth and body.
The Concept MC features an aluminum-magnesium alloy body and is a low output moving coil that follows in the design footsteps of their popular v2 Gold series. Its sound is both refined and involving, with classic moving coil inner detail and dynamics.
