The Clearaudio Master Innovation audiophile turntable latest model of the popular Clearaudio Innovation series, the Master Innovation, shows how even the best is continually updated and taken to new sonic heights.

The strong, dynamically balanced platter consisting of a 70mm resonance damper, 15mm thick precision machined stainless steel sub-platter stands for consistent implementation of the highest mechanical standards. The flywheel of the Master Innovation has virtually doubled compared to the standard Innovation model.

The patented Clearaudio magnetic storage was supplemented by an additional flywheel, dreamlike tracking values ​​are achieved by a high torque DC motor and an electronically controlled variable speed control via infra-red sensor (OSC = Optical Speed ​​Control) is always firmly in control. A magnetic decoupling of the drive system ensures isolation for un-compromised audio performance.

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.
