The Clearaudio Ovation is a high-end turntable in the premium class, which impresses with innovative technology, excellent smooth running, and a timeless, minimalist design. Despite its classic appearance, it contains a multitude of sophisticated technologies inside that make it a true reference player in its price range.

The chassis consists of an elaborately constructed sandwich structure made of aluminum and Panzerholz, in which thousands of small metal spheres are integrated to effectively suppress resonances. Underneath the 40 mm thick POM platter, a decoupled, high-torque 24V DC motor operates, ensuring quiet and stable running.

A central feature is the Optical Speed Control (OSC): An optical sensor continuously measures the rotational speed and automatically adjusts it. In combination with the patented Ceramic Magnetic Bearing (CMB), the Ovation achieves extremely high speed stability and minimal friction.

In terms of sound, the Ovation impresses with high transparency, precise detail resolution, and balanced dynamics. It is considered a versatile high-end turntable that performs at a very high level, both musically and technically.
