Product Details

Description

The Clearaudio Innovation Wood turntable is a benchmark in high-performance analog playback, earning the prestigious Golden Ear Award from The Absolute Sound. Designed for unparalleled precision and musicality, it features a resonance-optimized dual-tier chassis based on Clearaudio’s proven three-point design, utilizing Panzerholz (bulletproof wood), aluminum skins, and aluminum pods. This unique construction effectively dampens vibrations and resonance, allowing the turntable to extract every nuance from your vinyl collection with stunning clarity and depth.

At the core of its performance is a high-density, dynamically balanced 2.75″ POM (polyoxymethylene) platter, coupled with a half-inch thick, CNC-machined stainless steel sub-platter. It employs Clearaudio’s patented Ceramic Magnetic Bearing (CMB) technology, where the platter magnetically levitates on an inverted bearing attached to a low-friction ceramic shaft. This eliminates mechanical contact, significantly reducing bearing noise and friction to provide effortless and accurate speed stability.

The Innovation Wood is powered by a high-torque DC motor, featuring Clearaudio’s exclusive Optical Speed Control (OSC) system. This advanced circuit continuously monitors rotational speed via an infrared sensor, ensuring real-time adjustments for pinpoint accuracy across all playback speeds. The result is an astonishingly lifelike, dynamic soundstage, characterized by deep bass extension, articulate midrange, and a silky, refined treble response.

Beyond its remarkable sonic performance, the Innovation Wood is engineered for versatility. It is dual-tonearm capable, allowing for multiple cartridge setups, and supports playback at 33 1/3, 45, and 78 rpm speeds—ideal for audiophiles with diverse record collections. Every aspect of this turntable has been meticulously crafted to deliver an immersive, high-fidelity vinyl experience, making it a definitive choice for discerning listeners who demand nothing but the best in analog playback.
