Product Details

Description

The Clearaudio Ovation turntable blends the advanced technology found in the Innovation Wood series with a more refined and accessible design. Its main chassis features a complex sandwich of materials, combining aluminum and bulletproof wood (Panzerholz) for enhanced durability and resonance control. Within the Panzerholz layer, Clearaudio has introduced a unique resonance-damping system, incorporating an internal mat filled with approximately 100,000 tiny stainless steel pellets, further improving sound clarity and stability.

The Ovation is powered by a smooth, high-performance DC motor equipped with Clearaudio's OSC (Optical Speed Control) technology. This system continuously monitors a micro-infrared strobe, ensuring precise speed stability at all times. The motor drives a machined aluminum sub-platter and a 40mm POM (polyoxymethylene) platter, both supported by Clearaudio’s patented CMB (Ceramic Magnetic Bearing) for ultra-low friction and superior performance.

Featuring interchangeable armboard technology, the Ovation turntable accommodates a variety of 9-inch tonearms, including the Clearaudio Satisfy, Tracer, TT5, and Universal models. The plinth is mass-loaded and internally damped with stainless steel shot damping tiles to further enhance sound performance. Its adjustable leveling and locking feet, inspired by the Innovation series, allow for precise setup, ensuring optimal playback.
