ClearAudio Concept Signature turntable with Concept tonearm and MM cartridge

Striving for perfection is one of the guiding principles at Clearaudio. All products
from the high-end manufacturer in Erlangen embody this DNA. This includes
the concept, which was introduced in 2009 and has since been very successful
with over 20.000 units sold.

As an entry-level package, the concept already created a revolutionary sound
package with an undisputed price, design, and performance ratio, featuring
a specially developed tonearm and cartridge. After more than 10 years of
consistency, the best gets even better, and the concept undergoes several
updates under the new name concept Signature.
The fundamental idea behind concept Signature remains as purposeful and
user-friendly as its predecessor, as all parameters of the individual components
are already perfectly set at the factory.

The core of the turntable body is made of medium-density fiberboard or
optionally, solid wood layers bonded under high pressure. The top layer of the
turntable is made of specially satin-finished plastic. This composition minimizes
resonances and ensures a perfect visual appearance.

The platter is driven by a polished flat belt from a completely decoupled direct
current motor to minimize the transmission of interference noise. A generously
dimensioned, highly stable, and outsourced power supply takes care of the
voltage supply.

The new control technology with integrated auto-calibration, new adjustment
options, and additional Tacho-Speed-Control („TSC“) achieve even better
measurements in terms of uniformity and impulse stability. The entirely newly
developed Tacho-Speed-Control constantly monitors the speed and provides
real-time feedback to the control electronics. This allows it to immediately
respond to changing influences such as decreasing belt tension, friction of
the platter bearing, or temperature fluctuations. Additionally, TSC performs
an automatic calibration at every restart. With the new concept Signature,
manual recalibration is also possible at the push of a button on the back of the
turntable.

Several O-rings („IMS“) improve the motor suspension decoupled from the
chassis, which is adopted in a modified form from the Reference Jubilee.
Simultaneously, the new encoder forms the basis for even more features of
future generations and expansion stages.
In terms of design, the concept Signature stands out. The redesigned surface
with an illuminated touch controller allows for intuitive operation of the
turntable and sets new design accents.
