ABOUT
The Clearaudio Signature is a special edition of the new Concept Signature, exclusively for the US market. It represents advancements in high-end performance with exceptional value.
SIGNATURE TURNTABLE FEATURES
The Signature combines the technological and material science advancements from the entire Clearaudio turntable line, highlighted by the AiR 12v DC coreless motor with a new speed control circuity derived from our award-winning Reference Jubilee turntable.
TSC SPEED CONTROL
The Signature incorporates a newly developed “Tacho-Speed-Control” that constantly monitors the rotational speed and provides real-time feedback to the control electronics, enabling the system to immediately respond to dynamic influences such as stylus drag, belt tension, friction, or temperature.
IMS MOTOR SUSPENSION
A version of the O-Ring IMS (improved motor suspension), derived from the Reference Jubilee turntable, isolates the AiR DC coreless motor, for enhanced vibration control.
LINEAR POWER SUPPLY
The Professional Power 12v in black, an $800 value, is included with the Signature. It assures purer power for the Signature AiR motor and sophisticated self-regulating electronics. It is a transformer-based linear power supply developed to maximize the air motor.
PERFORMANCE DC FEET
Physical isolation is accomplished with convenient leveling feet from the Performance DC turntable.
TONEARM OPTIONS
The triple-black Signature has two tonearm options, the Tracer Black or the new Signature Black Satisfy Carbon Fiber. Both tonearms feature black carbon fiber arm tubes, exceptionally lightweight and rigid for reducing resonance and enhancing clarity.
The new Signature Black Satisfy Carbon Fiber tonearm is the Clearaudio established reference point, now in all black including carbon fiber armtube. Clearaudio Direct Wire tonearm cable is hardwired and terminated with gold-plated RCA plugs to assure music signal integrity.
The Tracer Black tonearm features a precision bearing, an aluminum headshell with a large mounting surface for easy azimuth alignment, and an optimal center of gravity counterweight. The Tracer is hardwired with Clearaudio Sixstream cables terminating in gold-plated RCA plugs.
