{"product_id":"clearaudioovationblbl","title":"Clearaudio Ovation Turntable, Black \/ Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Clearaudio Ovation is a belt-driven turntable that combines a resonance-optimised Panzerholz sandwich chassis, a decoupled 24-volt DC motor and a magnetically-borne 40 mm platter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis version is finished entirely in black – metal elements and plinth in the same colour. The most understated of the four finishes: it disappears into the rack and leaves the stage to the record. Tonearm and cartridge are chosen separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Ovation?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePanzerholz in sandwich construction, embedded between two aluminium plates – that's not a design slogan but the reason the chassis absorbs vibrations instead of feeding them back to the stylus. Drive comes via a ground flat belt from a high-torque 24 V DC motor sitting decoupled in the chassis. Optical Speed Control measures speed in real time via infrared sensor and holds it at ± 0.03 percent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA turntable that hides its quality in the detail. The bearing is inverted: a ground ceramic shaft in a sintered-bronze bushing, plus the patented ceramic magnetic bearing CMB, which takes most of the platter's weight off it. On top sit 40 millimetres of high-density plastic on an aluminium sub-platter. Speeds: 33 1\/3, 45 and 78 rpm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Ovation for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone building their analogue chain step by step and not wanting to skimp on the foundation. Straight talk: if you want something you can unbox, set up and start using, a pre-fitted complete player is the better choice. The Ovation is an invitation to combine – and you either welcome that or you don't.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalm, heavy, precise: 13.5 kilos, three speeds, five years of manufacturer warranty after registration. Anyone serious about vinyl finds here a foundation that will still handle the cartridge after next. We at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil plan the matching chain with you – by phone, email or WhatsApp, whichever suits you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\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\u003eChassis:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panzerholz in sandwich construction, embedded between two aluminium plates, resonance-optimised\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e metal elements black \/ plinth black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-torque 24 V DC motor, made exclusively for Clearaudio, decoupled in the chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optical Speed Control (OSC) in real time via infrared sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive:\u003c\/strong\u003e ground flat belt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeeds:\u003c\/strong\u003e 33 1\/3, 45 and 78 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWow and flutter:\u003c\/strong\u003e ± 0.03 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearing:\u003c\/strong\u003e inverted, ground and polished ceramic shaft in sintered-bronze bushing, patented ceramic magnetic bearing (CMB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlatter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 mm, high-density plastic, CNC-precision-milled surface, with aluminium sub-platter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e max. 8.6 W (operating 2.5 W, standby 2.5 W, off 0.0 W)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W × H × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 420 × 135 × 350 mm (without tonearm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 13.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended tonearms:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clarify, Tracer, TT5 (incl. swing base)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatching dust cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e AC024 (optional)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel no.:\u003c\/strong\u003e TT034\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer warranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 years (after registration)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e turntable chassis, platter with aluminium sub-platter, upper bearing housing, flat belt, bearing oil, small parts plus quality and warranty card (tonearm and cartridge separate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Ovation come with tonearm and cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Supplied are the chassis, platter with aluminium sub-platter, upper bearing housing, flat belt, bearing oil and small parts. You choose arm and cartridge separately – we'll help you and tune the combination to your records and your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan the Ovation also play shellac records?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Besides 33 1\/3 and 45, the Ovation also provides 78 rpm. Speed is regulated electronically in real time via Optical Speed Control and infrared sensor; Clearaudio states ± 0.03 percent wow and flutter. For shellac you'll additionally need a matching stylus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the platter made of metal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The 40 millimetre thick platter is made of high-density, CNC-precision-milled plastic; only the sub-platter underneath is aluminium. This damps better than metal. Underneath works the patented ceramic magnetic bearing CMB with a ceramic shaft in a sintered-bronze bushing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does this finish differ from the others?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly visually. In this version, metal elements and plinth are black. The first colour in the name always denotes the metal parts, the second the plinth. Overall there's silver or black, each on natural wood or on black – technically all four are identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Clearaudio Ovation from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we've been building analogue chains for many years and know which combinations bring lasting enjoyment.
