{"product_id":"clearaudioprofessionalpower24vsi","title":"Clearaudio Professional Power 24V Power Supply, Silver","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Clearaudio Professional Power 24V is a stabilised linear power supply that feeds the 24-volt drive of a Clearaudio turntable with DC voltage in place of the standard power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to the manufacturer it's intended for turntables in the Ovation and Innovation series. The silver aluminium cylinder houses a mains transformer, filtering and electronic protection – the unglamorous side of analogue operation that you only learn to appreciate once it's missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Professional Power 24V?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOvation and Innovation regulate their DC motor via their own real-time electronics. That regulation can only work as calmly as the voltage it receives. Residual ripple and interference from the mains would otherwise become constant micro-corrections to the drive. The Professional Power provides a filtered, stabilised DC voltage for this via a permanently attached DC cable; on the back, a mains switch, an IEC inlet with fuse and a grounding terminal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eClearaudio describes the unit as a deliberately placed step between the bundled power supply and the battery-powered Smart Power 24V. Audibly, that shows up as a deeper, calmer background, bass with clearer contour, and composure in dense passages – the kind of improvement that demands no attention and still stays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Professional Power 24V for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Ovation and Innovation owners who've already worked on their chain and are now tackling the drive. Straight talk: concept and Performance DC are 12-volt turntables – the 12V version is responsible for them, not this unit. And honesty stays honesty: if levelling, tracking force or azimuth aren't sorted yet, you'll get more out of those than out of the power supply. Anyone wanting a complete break from the mains ends up at the Smart Power 24V.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn upgrade without a show: same operation, same setup, just one extra cylinder in silver next to the turntable – and a drive that noticeably runs more evenly. Anyone who already cares about the last few percent on their Ovation or Innovation won't want to undo this step.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e transformer-based, stabilised linear power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 V DC, max. 500 mA, electronically fused (slow-blow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMains input:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110 V\/60 Hz or 240 V\/50 Hz depending on version, max. 200 mA (slow-blow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003e3.0 W at 33 1\/3 rpm, \u003e3.1 W at 45 rpm, \u003e3.3 W at 78 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear connections:\u003c\/strong\u003e mains switch, IEC inlet with fuse, grounding terminal (GND), permanently attached DC output cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible turntables:\u003c\/strong\u003e clearaudio Ovation and Innovation series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e aluminium, silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W × H × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 × 94 × 145 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 1.10 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer's warranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes my turntable need 12 or 24 volts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat depends on the series: Ovation and Innovation run on 24 volts, concept and Performance DC on 12 volts. The quickest way to check is on the original power supply, where the output voltage is printed. This page shows the 24-volt version in silver; for 12 volts there's the sister model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens if I connect the wrong voltage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the best case the motor won't start up cleanly; in the worst case the motor electronics get damaged. That's why Clearaudio offers two separate versions, and we ask about your model before you buy. A quick look at your current power supply spares you any discussion with service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat sets it apart from the Smart Power 24V?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Professional Power is a linear power supply: it cleans and stabilises the current from the mains socket. The Smart Power runs the turntable from a battery during operation and thereby disconnects it from the mains entirely. Clearaudio explicitly places the Professional Power between the standard power supply and the battery solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much current does the power supply deliver?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaximum 500 milliamps at 24 volts, electronically fused. That's designed precisely for the motor demand of the Ovation and Innovation turntables: Clearaudio states their power consumption at a bit over three watts, somewhat more depending on speed. So it's a specialist, not a universal lab supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Clearaudio Professional Power 24V in silver at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we match your turntable to the correct voltage variant before anything is packed, and tell you where in your chain the next step will do the most.
