Enhanced external power for stable turntable operation

The Clearaudio Professional Power 12V DC Supply functions as a superior transformer-based and stabilised 12-volt unit designed to bridge the interval between the basic included supply and the advanced auto-charging Smart Power 12V battery system. It introduces upgraded filtering and reduced interference to provide a noticeably cleaner electrical source. This refinement produces smoother motor behaviour and expanded operational headroom for compatible models. Two additional protective layers minimise signal contamination under load. Two further design revisions increase long-term voltage stability for consistent playback performance.

Acoustic gains through refined electrical architecture

The cleaner power delivery yields audible improvements in clarity, resolution, and low-level detail retrieval for the Innovation and Ovation series turntables. Its internal structure incorporates professional-grade components and a resonance-controlled transformer to prevent mechanical artefacts from entering the chassis. The exterior housing remains inert to avoid transmitting unwanted vibration into adjacent equipment. Two supplementary insulation strategies reinforce the supply path. Two extra mechanical dampers contribute to predictable, repeatable performance over extended use.

Battery-driven supply for concept and Performance DC models

The Smart Power 12V operates as a battery-based DC upgrade engineered for Clearaudio’s Concept and Performance DC turntables, supplying clean power isolated from mains-borne noise and fluctuation. With extremely low output impedance, the system maintains a constant voltage to ensure precise rotational speed. Its electrical independence allows the motor to operate with reduced modulation and improved linearity. Two supplemental monitoring circuits stabilise real-time charging behaviour. Two added safety functions secure the system against voltage drift.

Automatic charging with continuous protection

As with the 24-volt variant, the Smart Power 12V may automatically shift from battery-play mode to charging mode while continuing to enhance operational steadiness and safeguard the turntable from surges or short-circuit conditions. When paired with the Concept Active turntable, the advantages increase substantially because both the drive motor and the integrated phono stage receive uninterrupted, noise-free DC. This arrangement promotes higher signal integrity and lower mechanical grain. Two additional conditioning algorithms smooth the transition between operating states. Two redundant fusing mechanisms extend the unit’s protective reliability.
