Clearaudio Professional Power 24V For Innovation Turntable Series
Clearaudio announces its Professional Power 24V power supply designed for the German brand's Innovation series turntables.
The Clearaudio Professional Power 24V standalone DC power supply is offered to existing owners and new buyers of the Ovation and Innovation Series turntables as a third option sitting between the standard bundled SMPS unit and the premium battery-powered Smart Power 24V (£2,630).
Clearaudio states that a crucial element to realising the full sonic potential of any turntable is the quality of the power supply. Therefore, the 1.1 kg Professional Power 24V is touted as a high-quality linear PSU based around a toroidal transformer alongside large electrolytic capacitors and all-discrete MOSFET voltage stabilisation to provide the essential steady 24 volt DC supply, says Clearaudio.
We're told that, within the 94 x 92 × 145 mm (HxWxD) cylindrical case, the Pro Power 24V features professional-grade electronic components and a carefully mounted transformer compliantly suspended to reduce mechanical noise output and inward microphonic effects.
Furthermore, with the carefully optimised circuit layout, including final passive filtering arranged after the physically oversized protection fuse, the dynamic output impedance of the unit is kept very low for the best possible coupling to the turntable's DC motor. As a result, we are promised a subjectively more dynamic sound with further enhanced resolution resulting from the cleaner power supply.
The Clearaudio Professional Power 24V is available now, in black or silver, priced at £740 (including VAT).

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
