The Clearaudio Innovation Wood is a premium turntable designed for audiophiles seeking exceptional sound quality. It features a resonance-optimized dual-tier chassis made from Panzerholz (bulletproof wood), aluminum skins, and aluminum pods. The turntable includes a high-density, dynamically balanced 2.75-inch POM platter mated to a half-inch thick, CNC-machined stainless steel sub-platter. It utilizes Clearaudio's patented ceramic magnetic bearing (CMB) technology, allowing the platter to magnetically levitate on an inverted bearing attached to a low-friction ceramic shaft. The Innovation Wood is powered by a high-torque DC motor with an optical speed control (OSC) system, ensuring precise speed accuracy. It supports playback at 33 ⅓, 45, and 78 rpm and is dual-tonearm capable. The turntable comes standard with a universal 9-inch tonearm and offers options for other tonearms. It is available in black or silver with woodgrain accents, and a piano black Panzerholz trim is available as a special order option.
