Clearaudio Innovation Compact Turntable

Innovation Compact brings reference-grade analogue engineering into a more streamlined, space-efficient design. Built in Germany and derived directly from Clearaudio’s flagship Innovation series, the Innovation Compact delivers exceptional precision, stability, and musical realism while maintaining a refined, contemporary aesthetic.

The Innovation Compact is built around a high-mass, multi-layer chassis designed to control resonance and isolate the playback system from external vibration. Carefully selected materials with complementary damping characteristics work together to create an exceptionally inert platform, allowing records to be played back with clarity, authority, and a remarkably low noise floor.

At the heart of the design is Clearaudio’s Ceramic Magnetic Bearing (CMB), which partially levitates the platter using opposing magnetic forces to dramatically reduce mechanical friction. This advanced bearing system results in smoother rotation, improved speed stability, and enhanced retrieval of low-level detail. Driven by Clearaudio’s precision DC motor system and sophisticated motor control electronics, the Innovation Compact maintains pitch accuracy and timing with ease, even during complex musical passages.

The Innovation Compact is supplied with Clearaudio’s Tracer tonearm, a high-precision tangential tracking design that maintains ideal stylus geometry across the entire record surface. By eliminating tracking angle error, the Tracer tonearm allows for extremely accurate groove tracing, reduced distortion, and exceptional channel balance. Completing the system is the Clearaudio Concerto moving coil cartridge, factory-matched to the tonearm to deliver outstanding resolution, dynamic expression, and natural tonal balance straight out of the box.

Combining advanced bearing technology, tangential tonearm performance, and a compact yet substantial chassis, the Clearaudio Innovation Compact offers a truly high-end analogue experience for listeners who demand reference-level performance in a more focused form.
