Clearaudio

Turntable technology at it’s finest

1978 was the year Peter Suchy and his team developed Clearaudio’s first moving coil cartridges. The patented fully symmetrical design and the choice of a boron cantilever were pioneering approaches which guide others to this day – while Clearaudio continues to refine them. ‘Made in Germany’ at Clearaudio stands for the highest quality, using high-end materials and the perfect technical implementation of intelligent innovation. Every product in Clearaudio’s portfolio is conceived and produced by highly skilled specialists and precision engineers in the science city of Erlangen.

Since its inception, Clearaudio has amazed music lovers in more than 80 countries worldwide with analogue playback devices that set new standards of audio reproduction and constantly raise the bar a little higher. The range now also includes – in addition to high-end turntables, tonearms and cartridges – phonostages, preamplifiers, class A power amplifiers, connectors, cables and audio racks plus a wide range of accessories for maximum listening pleasure. The company has also embraced music production and now creates Clearaudio’s own audiophile recordings and lovingly supervised re-releases of legendary classical discs once produced for the world famous Deutsche Grammophon.

Passionate and specialised staff, the highest quality materials, skilful workmanship, uncompromisingly accurate design and ingenious production technology – all taking place in Erlangen, centre of science and location of the world-famous Friedrich-Alexander University. Our city shapes and influences our aspirations and expertise.  In close proximity to the Fraunhofer and Max Planck Institutes, our engineers and mechanics research future technology – for ever greater acoustic quality. Under the Clearaudio banner, highly trained perfectionists with innovative imaginations help to make audiophile visions come true.

  • The Clearaudio Innovation

    In the world of turntable construction the Innovation is the ultimate technological prototype.

    The goal of high-end analogue is to perfectly merge technology, workmanship and design and subordinate them to one single target: the best possible music reproduction. At Clearaudio, all development, design and production remain firmly in the hands of a perfectly experienced and attuned team of specialists who never lose sight of that goal, and who uphold the Clearaudio philosophy and high quality standards.

    From the tiniest part to the full audiophile 'Gesamtkunstwerk' (a complete work of art that draws on many art forms), at Clearaudio everything is meticulously made by hand – with maximum precision and plenty of passion. Precision-crafted mechanics and the use of components fine-tuned for density, mass and shape guarantee mechanical harmony and the absence of resonance when playing records.

    The ingredients are high-density multi-layered wood, titanium, stainless steel V2A, aluminium and specially developed high-performance plastics. Two parameters are of critical importance: maximum performance of music playback and technically effective design, as well as the aesthetic beauty of our creations.

  • The Clearaudio Innovation Compact

    Ticket to the top of the world

    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 (bullet proof wood) and aluminium sandwich. Timeless design with quality built to last for decades. To enhance flexibility the Innovation Compact has the option to mount a second tone arm, making it possible to play a rich variety of music from across the decades.

  • Turntable of the year

    The design of the Ovation seems both timeless and minimalist.

    Maximum music enjoyment needs no embellishment.

  • Innovation Basic

    An innovative entry

    The Innovation Basic provides the main technical characteristics of our Innovation,

    in a reduced "Basic" design that rivals it's larger siblings.

  • deep record cleaning with sonic option

    Records are valuable and prized, containing within their tiny grooves probably the highest form of art and expression that our civilisation can muster. They deserve sympathetic care to preserve and maintain their sound quality. Sound quality that many, (this scribe included) believe has yet to be bettered by digital recording and playback. For the really enthusiastic audiophiles a record cleaning machine is an essential piece of equipment to ensure vivid and noise free play back of your vinyl. As well as extending their lifespan, so maybe future generations may sample "the golden ages" of Classical, Jazz, Rock, Blues, Country, Folk .........................

    The Sonic refers to a sonic option, in which sonic vibrations enable deep cleaning while being gentle and almost noise free. Variable speed operation and static electricity removal as part of the cleaning process ensure perfect results.
