The Innovation Basic Wood is based on the technology of the Clearaudio Innovation series and is the entry level turntable for using both 12” tonearms and multiple tonearms, both radial or linear.
Its resonance-optimized chassis shape is based on the proven success of Clearaudio’s three-point or “tri-star” design — a combination of Panzerholz and aluminum skins. The Innovation Basic Wood uses Clearaudio’s patented CMB (Ceramic Magnetic Bearing) technology, where the platter magnetically levitates on an inverted bearing attached to a low-friction ceramic shaft. The high-torque 24v DC motor is equipped with electronic OSC (Optical Speed Control). The high-density, dynamically balanced 38mm polyoxymethylene (POM) platter provides excellent dimensional stability.
The Innovation Basic is available in silver or black aluminum with Natural or Piano Black Lacquer Panzerholz wood.
