CLEARAUDIO - TALISMANN MC CARTRIDGE

The Talismann MC Showcases Essential Clearaudio Values of Exceptional Sound Quality and Great Build-Quality at an Affordable Price!  

Entry-level MC cartridges have a new champion, the new Clearaudio Talismann! This completely new cartridge design has established another benchmark for Clearaudio, offering unbeatable performance for the price. The resolution and dynamic range, the full-bodied weight and warmth and the shimmering brilliance sets this new MC design apart from the pack in ways that other cartridges just cannot compare.

The Talismann is designed using Clearaudio's "Ultimate Refinement" philosophy. Painstaking care is taken to manufacture this piece with remarkable consistency and the proof is in the sound!
 
Clearaudio's innovative ideas (gained from many years of designing and manufacturing cartridges) are combined with special construction techniques used in musical instrument manufacturing and are applied with German precision engineering and craftsmanship. The hand polished ebony tone-wood body is slightly rounded, which leads to resonance free construction. The Talismann's high impedance when combined with its relatively high output voltage, ensures noise-free musical reproduction. The Talismann's ruler-flat frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz provides solid, realistic bass, an uncolored, rich mid-band and natural high frequency presentation.
