The Clearaudio Innovation Compact Wood Turntable is a reference-class analog source, engineered for audiophiles seeking precision, stability, and musicality. Its tri-star chassis combines Panzerholz (bulletproof wood) and aluminum for resonance control and mass. The 70mm-thick, dynamically balanced polyoxymethylene (POM) platter is supported by Clearaudio’s patented Ceramic Magnetic Bearing (CMB), which magnetically levitates the platter for near-frictionless rotation. Driven by a high-torque 24V DC motor with Optical Speed Control (OSC), the turntable offers outstanding speed accuracy at 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM. Dual tonearm mounts allow flexible cartridge setups. Available in multiple finishes, the Innovation Compact Wood is designed for both sonic excellence and visual elegance.
