CLEARAUDIO CONCEPT AIR ACTIVE TURNTABLE
"ANALOG IN PLACE!"
ABOUT
The Clearaudio Concept ACTIVE is currently DISCONTINUED.
As an alternative, we suggest using the Clearaudio Concept with a Smart Phono Headphone or Nano Headphone Phono Stage.
Clearaudio integrates high fidelity and all-in-one functionality to its most popular Concept AiR and Concept AiR Wood turntables. They call this model the Concept AiR Active and it’s fully loaded with all the goods. Choose from Clearaudio’s most popular MM & MC cartridges, the Concept MM, Concept MC and Maestro V2.1, to take advantage of the Active’s built-in, fully discrete, class-A phono preamp. Then decide whether you want to plug in your best set of headphones, play through your powered speakers, or your audio system. This is an impeccable combination of quality parts and features for those wanting exquisite sound and maximum versatility.
