Engineering Notes

CR-C 50 MC Clefsonic Phono Cartridge

The ClefSonic CS-C50 MC is our reference moving coil cartridge, created for listeners who demand the finest analogue detail without artificial brightness or exaggerated warmth. Its low-output coil architecture, boron cantilever and nude MicroRidge stylus allow the cartridge to trace the groove with exceptional precision, revealing the smallest textures hidden inside the recording.

The CS-C50 MC delivers a wide soundstage, fast transient response and deep, controlled low frequencies. Piano has weight, vocals have body, cymbals have air, and complex orchestral passages remain stable instead of collapsing into noise.

This is the cartridge for serious vinyl systems — quiet, fast, elegant and brutally revealing when the record deserves it.
