Clearaudio Innovation Compact, turntable (various colors)

The Clearaudio Innovation Compact is a compact yet highly advanced high-end turntable that offers exceptional accuracy, stability and durability. Thanks to Optical Rotation Control (OSC), this model achieves extremely precise rpm values.

Speed ​​ranges: 33 ⅓, 45 and 78 rpm
Speed ​​accuracy (measured): < ± 0.08%
The ability to install a second tonearm provides more flexibility and variety.
Body: Made of panzerholz ("armored" wood) and aluminum - very sturdy, resistant to resonances.

The Innovation Compact turntable with its very efficient design is nothing less than an audiophile revelation. Thanks to optical speed control (OSC), speed stability values ​​are obtained that lift this turntable into the global high-end class.

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.

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.
