Clearaudio

"Take the best and make it better, only then is it just good enough." Peter Suchy

A man with a visionary character and an overwhelming desire to bring these visions into reality; a man who does not follow trends, but creates them and sets new standards; a man who realises his philosophy in the products that carry the Clearaudio name. Peter Suchy is this character and more than just the man behind the products, his committed dedication and emotion means his soul is inherently in his products.

1978, the year of real breakthrough, the year Clearaudio's moving-coil cartridges were introduced to the world with their innovative and unique symmetrical generator design. Handcrafted in Erlangen, Germany - Clearaudio products are regarded as innovative, of true quality, and of setting the highest standards by hi-fi specialists and top class engineers alike.

Concept MC

• Cartridges

Concept MC

The consequent research in design and development of MC cartridges has lead clearaudio to the unique market position, which is also reflected in the new entry level cartridge model - MC Concept.

A "value for money highlight" with the guarantee of highest sound experience.

Concept

• Turntable

Concept

Design, quality and performance previously unachieved in this price region. We wanted to open a new dimension of music reproduction so we did things never believable in this price category.

Bluemotion

• Turntable

Bluemotion

The Clearaudio Bluemotion is functionally identical to the Emotion, but with a base of frosted deep blue. Who'd have thought that such a simple change would make such a huge difference? Believe us, it does. If the Emotion is "a stunning looking record player for a very reasonable price" (as Hi-Fi Choice described it), the Bluemotion takes the concept of "stunning" to a new level.

Emotion Black

Anniversary

• Turntable

Anniversary

The 25th Jubilee Edition is a document of Clearaudio's continuing love of music. This meant to us "To do something new, do something in this model not done before!"

Innovation

• Turntable

Innovation

With the "Innovation" turntable clearaudio set new standards in High-End turntable manufacturing.

The "Innovation" comes with a new developed optical speed control (OSC). The "OSC" consists of an infrared sensor, high precision reflection scale and corresponding speed circuit.

This outstanding development has already achieved the highest ratings by the German Hifi-magazines - Audio and Stereoplay. By their independent laboratory the clearaudio "Innovation" turntable was measured with the lowest speed variation ever!

Master Reference

• Turntable

Master Reference

We named it the MASTER REFERENCE.

We were the first manufacturer worldwide to eliminate the negative effects of asymmetric force from the motor drive system acting upon the platter. We call it side-force-free belt drive.

Within this outstanding design and you will find engineering worthy of a jeweller.

• Resonance-eliminating-chassis construction and geometry
• 3 separately housed motor drive units
• 3 independent belts
• Precision machined, massive tonearm mounting plates
• Hand-polished inverted bearing with a diamond polished ceramic ball
• Massive stainless steel decoupling bases

Satisfy

• Tonearm

Satisfy

The Clearaudio difference is not subtle! The difference to other manufacturers is that we tend to set standards in every class by designing milestones. The Satisfy incorporates features normally associated with a few of the very best tonearms.

Unify

• Tonearm

Unify

Rather than copying trends Clearaudio aim to set the standards, showing the way for the audiophile world. To achieve ease of use, outstanding performance and great flexibility we designed the UNIFY as a unipivot-radial design with four different arm lengths.

Universal

• Turntable

Universal

The new radial tonearm „UNIVERSAL“ from clearaudio is completing the product-portfolio in the range above 3.000 Euro. The “Universal” tonearm is handcrafted with the highest possible accuracy, but still delivers an unbeatable performance price ratio. The great advantages of the „Universal Tonearm” are the flexible use of almost any kind of cartridge, the fine adjustment of the Azimuth and the VTA adjustment – even during the playback!

Tangent

• Tonearm

Tangent

The Tangent is shines both in this price class and above. Featuring simple adjustment, long-term stability and an elegant mechanical design, the Tangent opens the window to all dimensions of music. Precision adjustable height using the same system as on the TQ-I,
allows exact VTA to be set, even during play.

At such an affordable price only the Tangent allows you to hear the true depth of musical emotion.

Souther TQ-I

• Tonearm

Souther TQ-I

A little bit smaller in appearance but designed to the same principle we offer the TQ-I. Conceptually both the father and son of the Master-TQ-I, the TQ-I contains no active drive elements, no added air compressors or servo regulators. Such active elements are no help because they produce destructive noise as well as other problems.
