CMB (Ceramic-Magnetic-Bearing)
The Clearaudio CMB (Ceramic Magnetic Bearing) is a result of long-term research and development and is based on a Clearaudio patent. Two aligned opposing magnetic fields are perfectly aligned one on top of the other, thereby rejecting each other. The magnetic fields are completely shielded from the outside through the careful application of very sophisticated materials. A high precision ceramic vertical axle fits perfectly into a bronze bearing. This perfect fit is essential and can only be achieved through the highest precision hand polishing.
High-performance synthetic oil is used for lubrication. The combination of these carefully selected components produces the effect of the platter floating by itself on an air cushion, and not on a ball bearing or bearing point.
The results of this magnetic bearing are one of the lowest frictions in turntable bearing design and until now, un-reached rumble measurements, and an unbeatable new standard in speed accuracy.
The clearaudio CONCEPT Turntable sets a new timeline in turntable manufacturing.
Highest demands and made in Germany, combined with technology and a timeless design start a New Era.
It is equipped with an innovative tonearm with a friction
free magnetic bearing.
A high quality moving magnet cartridge is completing this set up. All adjustments are already completed at the
clearaudio factory, even the tracking- and antiscating force are adjusted. This genuine, timeless and modern design guarantees a flawless musical enjoyment for decades.
CONCEPT = Innovative concept at a very attractive price quality ratio.

The Clearaudio Performance’s New Magnetic Bearing Isolates the Platter
The Performance Package is the newest offering from German analog masters, Clearaudio. This table/tonearm combination delivers terrific performance with stunning looks and excellent value. The base is constructed of two layers of synthetic marble sandwiched with aluminum inbetween. The motor is separate from the base to minimize hum or vibration interference. But the real magic of the Performance is in the bearing! Clearaudio’s new magnetic bearing allows the platter to literally float in the air, removing any friction or drag that can occur with traditional bearing designs. The Performance package also includes the superb Satisfy Carbon Fiber Tonearm. Available in black pearl (shown) or White Pearl pictured below.

With the Innovation turntable, Clearaudio sets new standards in High-End turntable manufacturing. The Innovation comes with a newly
developed optical speed control (OSC). The “OSC” consists of an infrared sensor, a high precision reflection scale, and a corresponding speed circuit.
This outstanding development has already achieved the highest ratings by the German Hifi-magazines – Audio and Stereoplay.
By their independent laboratories, the Clearaudio Innovation turntable was measured with the lowest speed variation ever!

The Absolute sound review of the Innovation TT
July 19th, 2010 — by Jim Hannon
Source: The Absolute Sound
The Clearaudio Innovation Wood is a brilliant achievement and sets new price/performance standards in several areas.
Its pitch stability is stunning, and when mated to a first-rate arm like the Helius Omega Silver-Ruby
and the surprisingly good Benz Ebony H cartridge, its soundstaging approaches reference quality.
I applaud Clearaudio for migrating so much innovative technology
from its Statement turntable down to more affordable products like the Innovation Wood.

The AMBIENT

Starting with
The GB Solution $3000
Revolutionary turntable designs why revolutionary?
1.) You can use 3 tonearms on all the turntables in this series even the least expensive unit!
2.) Because you can upgrade these turntables.
the next upgrade step would be:
The Master Solution
with CMB + Panzeholtz wood plynth $7500
Then you can upgrade to:
The Maximum Solution
With CMB + double Panzerholtz wood plynth’s + 3 motors! $16,000
Don’t throw anything away, just add on, and on, and on!
No hassles selling your old turntable to upgrade with Clearaudio, just add on!
What is CMB?
It’s a new revolutionary bearing design that allows the platter to be levitated in a magnetic field.
This has numerous benefits:
1.) The ultimate in free platter rotation, friction is almost non existant.
2.) Noise from the platter rotating on a bearing point is virtually elimaneted.
3.) This unique design allows the platter to be acoustically isolated from sound waves generated by the speakers
4.) This design does not produce the loss of dynamics that some sprung turntables exhibit, it still sounds like the
normally fast detailed Clearaudio turntable. However there is a blacker background, less surface noise from the LP and
the presentation just sounds more realistic, more alive. I attribute this to the stylus tracking the record groove better
because when it produces a note there is less acoustic vibration from the speaker “inhibiting” that process.
The Solution turntable
is your entry into the world of multi-arm systems. It uses the same 30mm platter and three point star shaped plinth as the Master Reference. This design allows you to mount up to three different tonearms at once! The Solution retails for $4500 and many arm/table packages are available. Please contact us for more informtion on available packages. Once you have purchased a Solution, you have the ability to upgrade to either the Master Solution ($7500) or the Maximum Solution ($16,000)
