The Clearaudio TT2 is a tangential (linear tracking) tonearm, completely mechanical and passive, that is, not unpivoted, not radial, but a real linear one. It moves through a polished glass tube using high-precision dry ball bearings, providing zero rolling force and minimal tracking distortion.
The Clearaudio TT3 is a tangential (linear tracking) tonearm, not an unpivoted one: it moves along a polished glass guide using ball bearings, moving the cartridge strictly along the radius of the plate without the need for an electric drive. This approach minimizes tracking errors and completely eliminates the rolling force, ensuring the most "correct" sound reading.
The Clearaudio TT5 is a tangential (linear tracking) tonearm, not an unpivoted (not single—stranded or gimbal). It moves in a straight line, repeating the radius of the plate, using linear ball bearings and fully mechanical movement — there is no rolling force, sliding is minimal, tracking is as accurate as possible.
Clearaudio Universal 12" is a 12-inch radial gimbal (pivoted) tonearm with a straight carbon tube (3 sections), precision ball bearings and removable shell. Supports precise adjustment of VTA, downforce, azimuth and antiskating, comes with three counterweights for 2.9–21g cartridges.
Clearaudio Universal 9" is a 9—inch Hi-End radial tonearm with a straight carbon tube (3 sections), precision ball bearings and 5 counterweights for 2.9-24.8 g cartridges.
