Clearaudio OVATION Drive Silver Chassis Black

Ovation with tonearm tracer and Jubilee MC cartridge

The Clearaudio Ovation turntable with tonearm Tracer and Jubilee MC cartridge is a true masterpiece of audio technology. With its precision-milled armored wood chassis and 100,000 incorporated metal balls, it creates an acoustic environment in which sound-damaging resonances have no chance. This exceptional chassis is embedded between two aluminum plates, which ensures optimal resonance damping.

Precision and stability

The Ovation is characterized by its solid 40 millimeter thick turntable, which is made of resonance-damping POM (polyoxymethylene). This plate ensures an exceptional running experience. Beneath the surface is a powerful, high-torque DC motor that runs extremely smoothly and is effectively decoupled.

Thanks to the Clearaudio Optical Speed Control (OSC) and the CMB ceramic magnetic bearing, the Ovation achieves synchronization values with minimal tolerances. This turntable sets a new standard in its class and enables an audiophile listening experience in a completely new dimension.
