The Clearaudio Signature turntable is a special edition of the new Concept Signature, exclusively for the US market. It represents advancements in high-end performance with exceptional value. The Signature combines the technological and material science advancements from the entire Clearaudio turntable line, highlighted by the AiR 12v DC coreless motor with a new speed control circuity derived from the award-winning Reference Jubilee turntable. The Signature incorporates a newly developed “Tacho-Speed-Control” that constantly monitors the rotational speed and provides real-time feedback to the control electronics, enabling the system to immediately respond to dynamic influences such as stylus drag, belt tension, friction, or temperature. The Professional Power 12v in black, an $800 value, is included with the Signature. It assures purer power for the Signature AiR motor and sophisticated self-regulating electronics. It is a transformer-based linear power supply developed to maximize the air motor.

The triple-black Signature has two tonearm options, the Tracer Black or the new Signature Black Satisfy Carbon Fiber. Both tonearms feature black carbon fiber arm tubes, exceptionally lightweight and rigid for reducing resonance and enhancing clarity. The new Signature Black Satisfy Carbon Fiber tonearm is the Clearaudio established reference point, now in all black including carbon fiber armtube. Clearaudio Direct Wire tonearm cable is hardwired and terminated with gold-plated RCA plugs to assure music signal integrity. The Tracer Black tonearm features a precision bearing, an aluminum headshell with a large mounting surface for easy azimuth alignment, and an optimal center of gravity counterweight. The Tracer is hardwired with Clearaudio Sixstream cables terminating in gold-plated RCA plugs.

The Clearaudio Innovation Basic Wood turntable is based on the technology of the Clearaudio Innovation series and is the entry level turntable for using both 12” tonearms and multiple tonearms, both radial or linear.

Its resonance-optimized chassis shape is based on the proven success of Clearaudio’s three-point or “tri-star” design — a combination of Panzerholz and aluminum skins. The Innovation Basic Wood uses Clearaudio’s patented CMB (Ceramic Magnetic Bearing) technology, where the platter magnetically levitates on an inverted bearing attached to a low-friction ceramic shaft. The high-torque 24v DC motor is equipped with electronic OSC (Optical Speed Control). The high-density, dynamically balanced 38mm polyoxymethylene (POM) platter provides excellent dimensional stability.

The Innovation Basic is available in silver or black aluminum with Natural or Piano Black Lacquer Panzerholz wood.

The Clearaudio Innovation Compact Wood turntable shares key design and construction features with the Innovation Wood model. The Innovation Compact Wood is a high-mass design featuring Clearaudio's 70mm-thick, dynamically-balanced POM platter. The optimally designed tri-star chassis, a combination of Panzerholz with aluminum skins and pods, minimizes resonance in the audible range while delivering maximum stability via the added mass. The Innovation Compact Wood uses a taller version of Clearaudio’s patented CMB (Ceramic Magnetic Bearing), magnetically levitating the larger platter on an inverted bearing attached to a low-friction ceramic shaft.

Clearaudio’s custom high-torque 24v DC motor and Optical Speed Control (OSC) combine with the high mass platter and CMB for excellent speed stability. The Innovation Compact Wood features a second tonearm mount and is available in silver or black aluminum with Natural or Piano Black Lacquer panzerholz wood.

The Innovation Compact Wood delivers a sense of heightened dynamics and effortlessness, creating a very alive sound, by virtue of its unique technology and added mass. It can accommodate multiple 9” or 12” tonearms including both the Tracer and Universal radial designs.

The Double Matrix Professional Sonic record cleaner is Clearaudio's best solution to date. Keeping vinyl records clean is key to maintaining a high quality record collection and getting the best sound. Clearaudio’s research and development team continues to create advanced equipment for the job.

The advantages of the Double Matrix's double-sided operation include time savings and protecting the cleaned record side from being in contact with a dirty surface. With both automatic and manual modes, the Double Matrix Professional Sonic record cleaner allows you to run the entire cleaning cycle at the touch of a button, or you can manually control each step of the process via the user-friendly controls. Automatic cleaning is available in 3 programs: normal, 2x mode for records requiring extra maintenance, and Eco for light cleaning. Wash and vacuum cycles are bi-directional and you can control both platter direction and speed. An anti-static brush prevents static build-up on your just cleaned discs and can be used anytime for dry cleaning and anti-static treatment.

Clearaudio has created a new articulating washing/vacuuming system that incorporates sonic vibrations to better deep scrub the record groove. These cleaning applicators automatically adapt to different thickness records, assuring better performance and ease of use. Clearaudio’s R&D team has learned that this approach performs a more thorough job of cleaning without risking damage to the vinyl record, versus ultrasonic cleaners commonly used to clean hard materials such as jewelry and glass. The sonically articulating cleaning pads can be easily removed for washing as well as replacing the micro-felt strips.

Made from high quality heavy-duty materials, the Double Matrix Professional Sonic is designed for continuous operation. An LED “light ladder” indicates the cleaning fluid level in the internal reservoir, and as an additional precaution, the vacuum turbine features overheating protection. Its attractive and rugged casework looks at home with your audio system and reduces ambient noise levels. A dustcover is available. Now you can clean an entire record collection with a machine that is incredibly easy to use and looks great.
