  • TT2

    Tonearms

    Clearaudio TT2

    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.

  • TT3

    Tonearms

    Clearaudio TT3

    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.

  • TT5

    Tonearms

    Clearaudio TT5

    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.

  • UNIVERSAL 12

    Tonearms

    Clearaudio UNIVERSAL 12"

    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.

  • MAGNIFY

    Tonearms

    Clearaudio MAGNIFY

    Clearaudio Magnify is a 9.4" radial tonearm with a hybrid magnetic ball bearing for super smooth movement and minimal friction. Carbon fiber tube, precise VTA adjustments (including during playback), azimuth, antiskating; supports 4.7–22g cartridges, branded Direct Wire Plus wiring.
