concept

The concept Signature succeeds the enormously successful concept, which has been in production since 2020. Despite numerous improvements and developments, the fundamental idea remains: a turntable that delivers performance and design well beyond its price class.

Solid yet elegant

The chassis is manufactured from either medium-density fibreboard or birch multiplex. The surface of the turntable consists of specially satin-finished plastic. This composition minimises resonances and ensures a high-quality appearance.

The platter is driven by a ground flat belt from a completely decoupled DC motor to minimise the transmission of noise. The newly designed surface with illuminated touch control allows intuitive operation of the turntable and adds elegant design accents.

Lorem ipsum dolor

The completely newly developed Tacho-Speed-Control – TSC for short – constantly monitors the rotational speed and provides real-time feedback to the control electronics. This enables immediate response to changes such as decreasing belt tension, bearing friction or temperature fluctuations. For consistently perfect results, the TSC system performs automatic calibration. Alternatively, calibration can be triggered manually via a button on the rear of the turntable.

Full modularity

The wide range of clearaudio tonearms and cartridges leaves nothing to be desired in terms of modularity. Perfect combinations for the concept Signature turntable are all MM cartridges, all MC cartridges from concept mc to Talisman V2 Gold, as well as all tonearms from concept to Profiler. Additional recommendations include the concept clamp, a specially designed acrylic dust cover, as well as nano phono V2 / smart phono V2 phono preamplifier or one of the two upgrade power supplies Professional Power 12V or smart power 12V.
