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

The chassis consists of an elaborately constructed sandwich structure of aluminum and armored wood, into which thousands of tiny metal balls are integrated to effectively suppress resonances. Beneath the 40 mm thick POM platter, a decoupled, high-torque 24V DC motor works to ensure quiet and stable operation.

A key 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 rotational stability and minimal friction.

In terms of sound, the Ovation convinces 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.
