Concept. With a Phono Stage.

Clearaudio’s vision for the concept: Design an elegantly styled turntable package featuring a level of ground-breaking technology usually only found in high-end turntables, combining plug-and-play simplicity with outstanding sound quality and affordability.

Contemporary and Sophisticated

The concept achieves these highest of requirements, realising the Clearaudio vision. Beneath the sleek, contemporary exterior is a level of technical sophistication unique to Clearaudio. The concept‘s body is carefully crafted from medium-density wood fibre (or, optionally, pressure-formed solid wood) with a selection of smart made-to-match surface finishes. The body’s upper layer incorporates a special high-tech plastic compound designed to minimise unwanted resonance.

Engineering Prowess

The DC motor is fed by an external voltage-stabilised power supply and is completely decoupled from the chassis, isolating the record from any mechanical interference The concept tonearm features a magnetic bearing that is friction-free for extremely low distortion and superb performance. The package is completed with the high-quality Clearaudio concept MM or Clearaudio concept MC cartridge (toneam and/or cartridge upgrade possible).
