Open in the resonance calculatorOn the Clear Wave — 11 g
Below 8 Hz. Record warps and footfalls live down here, and either can excite the resonance and unsettle tracking. A lower-compliance cartridge or a lighter arm raises the figure.
With the ceramic headshell spacer (13 g): 7.5 Hz
Assumes 0.5 g of mounting hardware.
On other arms
| Arm effective mass | Resonance | |
|---|---|---|
| 8 g | 8.6 Hz | ✓ in the 8–12 Hz band |
| 10 g | 8.1 Hz | ✓ in the 8–12 Hz band |
| 12 g | 7.6 Hz | below the band |
| 14 g | 7.3 Hz | below the band |
| 16 g | 7.0 Hz | below the band |
| 20 g | 6.4 Hz | below the band |
Figures are as the manufacturer publishes them. Compliance measured at 100 Hz or quoted as static is converted to an estimate at 10 Hz and marked with a tilde; treat those results as approximate. Suspensions also vary between samples and soften with age, so a calculated resonance is a guide, not a verdict. Spotted an error?
