Product Description

The Clearaudio Concept AiR Wood turntable furthers the sonic excellence of the  award-winning Concept turntable. The Concept Wood AiR uses a baltic  birch, constrained layer plinth that is both visually attractive and  sonically rich and smooth. The aluminum machined sub-platter and  rear-mounted fine speed adjustments are an upgrade from the original  Concept design.

The Concept Wood AiR is equipped with the Satisfy  Black or Satisfy Carbon Fiber tonearm, both featuring a 3-point  mechanical bearing, magnetic anti-skate, and hard-wired tonearm cable.  The Concept Wood AiR is belt-driven by a low-noise, decoupled DC motor  built into the baltic birch plinth. The platter is made of 30mm-thick  polymer (POM), an engineering thermoplastic with a weighted rim for  increased fly-wheel effect, providing greater speed stability. The  Concept Wood plays at three speeds – 33rpm, 45rpm, and 78rpm –  selectable by the Electronic Speed Control knob.
