Overview
Striving for perfection is one of the guiding principles at Clearaudio. All products from the high-end manufacturer in Erlangen embody this DNA. This includes the concept, which was introduced in 2009 and has since been very successful with over 20,000 units sold.
As an entry-level package, the concept already created a revolutionary sound package with an undisputed price, design, and performance ratio, featuring a specially developed tonearm and cartridge. After more than 10 years of consistency, the best gets even better, and the concept undergoes several updates under the new name concept Signature.
The fundamental idea behind concept Signature remains as purposeful and user-friendly as its predecessor, as all parameters of the individual components are already perfectly set at the factory.
The platter is driven by a polished flat belt from a completely decoupled direct current motor to minimize the transmission of interference noise.
The new control technology with integrated auto-calibration, new adjustment options, and additional Tacho-Speed-Control („TSC“) achieve even better measurements in terms of uniformity and impulse stability. The entirely newly developed Tacho-Speed-Control constantly monitors the speed and provides real-time feedback to the control electronics. This allows it to immediately respond to changing influences such as decreasing belt tension, friction of the platter bearing, or temperature fluctuations. Additionally, TSC performs an automatic calibration at every restart. With the new concept Signature, manual recalibration is also possible at the push of a button on the back of the turntable.
Several O-rings („IMS“) improve the motor suspension decoupled from the chassis, which is adopted in a modified form from the Reference Jubilee. Simultaneously, the new encoder forms the basis for even more features of future generations and expansion stages.
In terms of design, the concept Signature stands out. The redesigned surface with an illuminated touch controller allows for intuitive operation of the turntable and sets new design accents.
The wide selection of Clearaudio tonearms and cartridges leaves nothing to be desired in terms of modularity. Perfect combinations for the concept Signature turntable include all MM cartridges, all MC cartridges from concept mc to Talisman V2 Gold, as well as all tonearms from concept to Profiler. Additionally, the concept clamp, a specially designed acrylic cover, and the nano phono V2 / smart phono V2 phono preamplifier or one of the two upgrade power supplies, Professional Power 12V / smart power 12V, from Clearaudio are recommended.

Just follow the steps below: 1. Remove the cartridge. 2. Adjust the counterweight so that the tonearm 'floats' while not in rest position. 3. Turn the anti-skating screw to get the position of the headshell of the tonearm right above the edge of the platter, where the lead-in groove would be. 4. Mark the position of the anti-skating screw by drawing a line with a pen from the screw head to the tonearm foot. 5. If you are mounting a Concept MM or any other Clearaudio MM V2 cartridge, turn the anti-skating screw 3 times anti-clockwise. If you are mounting a Clearaudio Concept MC cartridge, turn the anti-skating screw 4 times anti-clockwise. 6. Finally, mount your cartridge again and check the tracking force. Please note this is just a quick guide for the standard Clearaudio cartridges provided with the Concept turntable.
We don't offer MM styli on their own. A cartridge's original measured values can't be guaranteed following a self-repair. In such cases, we offer stylus exchange/repair servicing at lower prices for MM cartridges, in which we also clean and double-check the whole cartridge at the same time. Please contact our consultants at the Dubai Audio store for more information and prices.
If a cartridge isn't protected by a proper stylus guard, in our experience the most common causes of broken needles are free-roaming pets, overzealous cleaners and high-spirited children! We recommend always using a stylus guard when the turntable is not in use. If you don't have a stylus guard, you can request a replacement from our team at Dubai Audio and we'd be hapy to help!
Ideally, our Clearaudio cartridges can be used for several decades. External influences such as climate, temperature, humidity, intensity of use, maintenance and the condition of your records can affect the lifespan of the cartridge. The part subject to wear and tear is not the diamond, but the rubber-silicone overlay of the cantilever, which can lose flexibility over the years. If you suspect wear and tear of your cartridge, you can have it double-checked at our store located at Sheikh Zayed Road.
