The Clearaudio Innovation Basic is a high-quality turntable that uses the core technologies of the Innovation series. Constructed from robust, resonance-damping materials, it offers excellent accuracy, stability and durability.
Speed options: 33 ⅓, 45, 78 rpm.
Speed accuracy (measured): ± 0.08%
Optical Speed Control (OSC): Real-time via infrared sensor
Resonance-resistant housing: made of panzerholz (bullet-resistant wood) and aluminum
CNC: machined surface
All legs: adjustable
Can be mounted: two tonearms
DESCRIPTION
The Innovation Basic provides the main technical characteristics of our Innovation, in a reduced "Basic" design that rivals its larger siblings.
Perfectly matched materials meet patented Clearaudio technology. The 38mm-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.
The optimally designed chassis keeps resonances out of the audible range and guarantees maximum stability in a housing made of a massive panzerholz (bulletproof wood) and aluminum sandwich. Timeless design with quality built to last for decades. The option to mount a second tonearm makes it possible to play a rich variety of music from across the decades.
