clearaudio N1 MM Cartridge: High-End for Beginners
With the clearaudio N1 MM cartridge, clearaudio presents a true highlight for beginners and audiophile music lovers. Featuring a compact design, this new cartridge combines amazing sound quality, maximum ease of use, and high-quality craftsmanship.
Stripped Down to the Essentials—Uncompromising Sound Quality
The N1 MM redefines the entry point into the MM cartridge class: technically sophisticated, visually elegant, and sonically impressive. Despite its affordable price, it meets audiophile standards and thus outperforms many competitors.
Premium Materials & Flexible Compatibility
An anodized aluminum housing (weighing just 12.6 g total) ensures extreme stability and minimal resonance. This makes the clearaudio cartridge suitable for both light and heavy tonearms—perfectly matched, for example, to the clearaudio compass turntable.
Color options:
- Black – timeless and understated
- Silver – elegant and high-quality
Innovative plug-in system for stylus holders
A special feature: the clever plug-in system. The stylus holder can be replaced in a flash, even with the cartridge installed—ideal for replacing worn parts or for regular maintenance. A real plus for users who want to stay flexible.
Sound Performance: Small but mighty
The clearaudio N1 MM impresses with a spacious soundstage, clear highs, and well-defined bass that far exceed its price range. Ideal for vinyl enthusiasts who want to immerse themselves deeply in music and experience nuanced sound.
Recommended Combinations:
- clearaudio compass turntable + N1 MM cartridge → a perfect symbiosis of design and sound
- Tones arms from other manufacturers with an effective mass of 12 to 16 g → optimal compatibility thanks to balanced weight
