Product information
The Clearaudio Performer V2 is made of ebony, which has made it possible to reduce resonances and associated sound coloration without significantly increasing the weight of the head. This model has a more powerful magnetic system (compared to the previous version), which resulted in an output level of 3.6 mV. This value allows Performer V2 to be combined well with any model of phono preamplifier, including those built into integrated stereo amplifiers and AV receivers.
The driver has a double-precision polished elliptical needle mounted on an aluminum holder. The pressure force for the Performer V2 is 2 grams.
The pickup has a very assertive and dynamic sound, but it is able to accurately convey all the nuances of performance, and is suitable for listening to music of any genre. The strong point of Performer V2 is the quality of rendering and depth of the stereo picture, which is ensured by good channel separation and minimal crosstalk. The wide range of reproduced frequencies and practically neutral tonal balance make listening to music with Performer V2 a real pleasure.
The Clearaudio Performer V2 is very well suited for upgrading mid-range vinyl players by replacing the original heads installed on them. When properly set up, the Performer V2 is capable of delivering very high sound quality, and its high reliability makes it a great choice for those audiophiles who have vinyl as the foundation of their music collection.
