{"product_id":"clearaudioinnovation","title":"Clearaudio Innovation Turntable","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Clearaudio Innovation is the reference turntable of the Innovation series, coupling a 70 mm platter with a 15 mm thick stainless-steel sub-platter into an 85 mm thick platter assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 24 kilograms of Panzerholz, aluminium and stainless steel, a decoupled 24-volt motor, optical speed control and room for two tonearms. Here too the rule applies: you choose arm and cartridge yourself. The turntable is the foundation, not the finished opinion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Innovation?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause mass and control work together here. The 85 mm platter assembly stores significantly more flywheel energy than its smaller siblings, the patented magnetic bearing keeps friction tiny regardless, and Optical Speed Control corrects continuously in real time via an infrared sensor. clearaudio states rated wow and flutter of under ± 0.05 % – a value people otherwise reach for direct drive to achieve. All of it is carried by a two-tier, resonance-optimised chassis of Panzerholz and aluminium on height-adjustable feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA turntable prepared for up to two tonearms that can later be upgraded to a Master Innovation – clearaudio publishes its own conversion guide for this. The drive hangs on an external 24-volt power supply that can be swapped for clearaudio's more elaborately filtered Professional Power 24V. Finishes combine Panzerholz and aluminium, special lacquers are available on request. Here too, 33⅓, 45 and 78 rpm are on buttons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Innovation for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor analogue listeners who want to set something down once and for good, yet keep an upgrade path in their back pocket. Straight talk: 24 kilograms on 460 × 485 millimetres need furniture that takes that seriously – a wobbly shelf undoes the fine bearing technology in one stroke. Anyone needing a more compact build is better served by the Innovation Compact, anyone wanting to grow into the series first by the Innovation Basic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Innovation is the point where this series shows its technology in full: flywheel mass, magnetic bearing and optical control mesh cleanly, and the path to the Master Innovation stays open. A turntable you set up properly once and then simply use for decades. Which arm and cartridge get the most out of it, we'll think through together at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil – and we'll tell you too if two arms would in your case be more gimmick than gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e belt-driven turntable, without tonearm and cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-torque, decoupled 24 V DC motor, belt drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optical Speed Control (OSC), electronically controlled via optical sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeeds:\u003c\/strong\u003e 33⅓, 45 and 78 rpm, switchable by button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWow and flutter:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt; ± 0.05 % (rated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearing:\u003c\/strong\u003e inverted, ground and polished ceramic bearing shaft, sintered-bronze running bushing, patented clearaudio magnetic bearing technology (CMB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlatter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70 mm platter of high-density engineering plastics on a 15 mm thick stainless-steel sub-platter, 85 mm combined, dynamically balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChassis:\u003c\/strong\u003e two-tier, resonance-optimised turntable geometry, sandwich construction of Panzerholz and aluminium, height-adjustable feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTonearms:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to two tonearms can be mounted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e max. 9.3 W, operating 2.5 W, standby 2.5 W, off 0 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e external 24 V DC power supply, upgrade to Clearaudio Professional Power 24V possible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpgrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e conversion to Master Innovation available, clearaudio provides a dedicated guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panzerholz and aluminium, black or natural wood; special lacquers such as white on request (TT051\/W)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W × H × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 460 × 220 × 485 mm (with armboard, without tonearm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 24 kg (without tonearm and power supply)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 years with registration within 14 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel no.:\u003c\/strong\u003e TT028 \/ TT027\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Innovation turntable with platter, sub-platter and drive belt, power supply, instruction manual; tonearm and cartridge separate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the stainless-steel sub-platter give the Clearaudio Innovation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt significantly increases flywheel mass. Under the 70 mm platter of engineering plastics sits a 15 mm thick, dynamically balanced stainless-steel sub-platter, 85 mm combined. This stabilises speed further alongside the optical control, and clearaudio states rated wow and flutter of under ± 0.05 %.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I later upgrade the Innovation to a Master Innovation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. clearaudio explicitly provides for this path and publishes its own guide for converting from Innovation to Master Innovation. Whether this step makes sense for you, or whether arm and cartridge should come first, we'll look at together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many tonearms can I mount on the Innovation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to two. That lets you separate mono and stereo or run two systems with different character in parallel without constantly swapping. We'll mount both arms, align the cartridges and, on request, set the matching loading values on your phono stage right away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow heavy is the Innovation and what does that mean for my furniture?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 24 kilograms without tonearm and power supply, at 460 mm wide, 220 mm tall and 485 mm deep. A stable, well-decoupled rack is therefore mandatory, not an accessory. Tell us what the turntable will stand on, and we'll look at the setup beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a better power supply worth it for the Innovation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften yes. The motor runs on an external 24-volt DC supply, and clearaudio offers the more elaborately filtered Professional Power 24V for the Innovation and Ovation series. Whether the difference really comes through in your chain, we'll honestly assess beforehand instead of promising something.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Clearaudio Innovation from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a reference turntable without clean setup and precise alignment stays below its potential. We deliver, align and stay reachable afterwards, with a practised team that has accompanied analogue technology for decades.
