SOME ITEMS ON DISPLAY
Signature Turntable
The Clearaudio Signature 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.
Performance DC AiR Turntable
The Performance DC AiR shares sophisticated technology with Clearaudio’s award-winning Ovation and Innovation series turntables, featuring a magnetic levitating bearing and composite construction for outstanding sound.
The most affordable turntable with Clearaudio’s patented CMB (Ceramic Magnetic Bearing) combining a polished ceramic inverted bearing shaft, machined aluminum spindle top, and strong magnet rings, provides low friction and isolates vibrational energy from the cartridge's sensitive stylus.
The Performance DC AiR’s main composite chassis sandwiches a medium density wood core between two massive anodized aluminum plates A band of anodized aluminum is wrapped around the plinth’s core, giving the Performance DC AiR an elegant and modern look. Available in 4 visually striking combinations with silver or black finish anodized aluminum plates and silver or black banding.
Ovation Turntable
Within a precision-machined chassis comprising a sandwich of aluminium and panzerholz bulletproof wood, 100,000 tiny metal balls eliminate any possibility of harmful resonances. Hidden under a 40mm-thick platter made of resonancedamping POM is a very quiet decoupled DC motor with high torque.
Innovation Compact Turntable
Perfectly matched materials meet patented Clearaudio technology. The 70mm-thick platter of the Innovation Compact consists of dynamically balanced polyoxymethylene (POM) and is powered by a high-torque DC motor with precision bearings, developed exclusively for Clearaudio.
