Clearaudio Innovation Basic Turntable

Overview

Perfectly matched materials meet patented Clearaudio technology. The 38mm thick platter of the Innovation Basic 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. The option to mount a second tonearm makes it possible to play a rich variety of music from across the decades.
