Description
Innovation Compact Turntable
Overview
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.
