STATEMENT TT1-MI/TT1 TANGENTIAL
The Pinnacle of Analogue Music Reproduction
The Clearaudio Statement TT1 tangential tonearm is widely regarded as the pinnacle of analogue music reproduction—a masterpiece often imitated but never equalled. True to its name, the Statement TT1 represents the ultimate expression of tangential tonearm engineering. This tonearm replays records exactly as they were cut as a benchmark for Clearaudio’s development team, tracing a perfectly straight path without deviation. By ensuring the cartridge’s stylus follows the record groove with unparalleled precision, the Statement TT1 eliminates tracking errors, delivering an uncompromising and immersive listening experience.
The Clearaudio TT1-MI Tangential Tonearm is a special version of the Statement TT1, designed specifically for the Master Innovation, Innovation, and older Master Reference turntables. It elevates the sonic performance of these turntables to Statement class, bringing them in line with the exceptional standards set by Clearaudio’s flagship design.
Clearaudio has pioneered innovative solutions to meet the demands of discerning audiophiles, offering an exceptional range of tonearms across three primary categories: single-point bearing radial, multi-point bearing radial, and tangential tonearms. Each design incorporates cutting-edge technologies, including Clearaudio’s patented systems. Even the radial tonearms feature groundbreaking advancements such as magnetic bearings, precision ball-race bearings, unipivot systems, gimbal mechanisms, and hybrid bearings.
For music enthusiasts seeking flawless sound reproduction, Clearaudio’s advanced tangential technology stands as the ideal solution. During production, each LP master is tangentially cut by the record-cutting lathe, and Clearaudio’s tangential tonearms replicate this exact tracking path using a patented, purely mechanical passive process. By maintaining identical replay tracking angles, these tonearms virtually eliminate mistracking distortion, ensuring that music is reproduced in its purest and most authentic form.
At the heart of the TT1 series lies Clearaudio’s unique passive technology: a self-sufficient tonearm drive with a refined mechanical design that optimises resonance control while minimising interference in the transmission of the music signal. Crafted from premium materials and subjected to rigorous quality control, the Statement TT1 exemplifies stability and performance.
This unwavering commitment to consistency, innovation, and craftsmanship underscores Clearaudio’s position as a leader in tangential tonearm technology, continually pushing the boundaries of the ultimate audiophile experience.
