Please note
Every new generation clearaudio MC cartridge consists of 8 very powerful
magnets (currently the most powerful magnets available in this size), therefore
use extreme care and not to use any steel or magnetic parts near the cartridge,
which may be attracted to it and possibly damage the stylus or boron cantilever.
Before playing a record, please remove all dust and dirt from the record surface
using a quality cleaning device.
For the best results, a record cleaning machine should be used. Ask your
dealer for clearaudio´s Matrix-cleaning machines. (e.g. Smart Matrix, Double
Smart matrix or Double Matrix, cleaning both sides of LP-record at once!)
Avoid
Always avoid storing your cartridge near any objects using electrical
transformers and motors, which may generate magnetic fields. Any
demagnetisation contact will result in a drop of output voltage and possible
case of distortion or degradation.
Once again:
Keep cool and concentrated when adjusting the cartridge. As a music lover you
should have all adjustment accessories even if you think they are expensive or
difficult to use.
Damaged music reproduction or cartridge fault will never reproduce the one we
love: music.

6. Maintenance, Service and Warranty
1. Always keep the stylus tip clean. When dirt is allowed to build-up and records
are played with a dirty or clogged stylus, a " buzzing noise " can be heard.
Use a high quality cleaning brush or clearaudio cleaning fluid to clean the stylus
tip. Be extremely careful and always brush only from the back to front.
2. When using a liquid e.g. from clearaudio or other organic cleaner, always
take care not to spill any on the cartridge body.
3. Make sure the liquid will always contact only the stylus tip or boron cantilever.
If any service or repair on all clearaudio products is necessary, please contact
your dealer / distributor or contact clearaudio directly. We can inform you as
well about your nearest service location.
