The Master Innovation consistently develops the concept of the Innovation series further and relies on even higher mass, more elaborate decoupling and maximum running smoothness.

Weight

Approx. 60 kg
(without tonearm and power supply)

Dimensions

Width: 460 mm
Depth: 485 mm
Height: 396 mm
(with tonearm base, without tonearm)

Speed

33 ⅓, 45 and 78 rpm

Material/Colour

Available in black acrylic or laminated wood and aluminium

High flywheel mass

The dynamically balanced platter consists of 70 millimetres of resonance-damping plastic and a 15 millimetre thick sub-platter made of precision-turned stainless steel. Compared to the Innovation, the flywheel mass has been almost doubled.

Precision in detail: The belt drive controls the decoupled flywheel with absolute uniformity.

Precisely regulated drive

The patented clearaudio Magnetic Bearing is complemented by an additional flywheel. A high-torque DC motor with electronic speed control and Optical Speed Control (OSC) ensures constantly precise speed.

Perfect symbiosis of nature and technology: The variant in noble panzerwood with the TT1 tangential tonearm.

Resonance-free construction

The magnetic decoupling of the drive reduces interference and supports the exceptional running smoothness of the turntable. The Master Innovation offers space for up to three tonearms.

Upgradeable.

Owners of an Innovation turntable have the option to upgrade to Master Innovation level.
