Product Description

The main chassis of the Clearaudio Ovation turntable consists of a complex sandwich of materials: aluminium – bullet-proof-wood – aluminium. Within the precision-machined bullet-proof-wood layer, clearaudio have introduced an elaborate resonance damping measure: an internal ‘mat’ comprising approximately 100.000 tiny stainless steel balls.

The powerful and smooth-running DC motor is integrated within and is effectively decoupled by the main chassis. Clearaudio’s OSC ‘Optical Speed Control’ technology continuously monitors a micro infrared strobe to ensure exact speed stability. The motor is hidden beneath the platter and drives the precision machined aluminium sub-platter via a precision machined POM main platter are supported by clearaudio’s patented CMB Ceramic Magnetic Bearing’.

The drive system of the Clearaudio Ovation turntable is operated by four blue illuminated buttons, ergonomically integrated into the front left of the chassis. Almost any commercially available 9 inch tonearm can be fitted by virtue of the easily interchangeable armboards. The new “Ovation” device combines innovative clearaudio technologies with elegant design and exquisite production quality.
