The Clearaudio Master Innovation Wood is a high-mass, belt-driven audiophile turntable built around Clearaudio’s double-platter architecture. Its resonance-optimized Panzerholz (high-density laminated “bulletproof” wood) and aluminum chassis uses a three-point design with adjustable feet and provision for up to three tonearms. A high-torque 24 V DC motor drives a lower platter through a belt; magnetic coupling transfers rotation to the upper platter, isolating the main platter from motor vibration. Real-time Optical Speed Control (OSC) uses an infrared sensor and precision reference scale to regulate platter speed. The main platter assembly combines a 70 mm dynamically balanced high-density polymer/POM platter with a 15 mm CNC-machined stainless-steel sub-platter and is supported by Clearaudio’s patented Ceramic Magnetic Bearing (CMB). The model is supplied with a professional 24 V transformer-based DC power supply. Clearaudio documentation and current product listings continue to identify the Master Innovation as an active model, although availability and exact finish/configuration may vary by market.
