The fundamental idea behind the concept Signature remains as purposeful and user-friendly as its predecessor, as all parameters of the individual components are already perfectly set at the factory.

The core of the turntable body is made of medium-density fiberboard or optionally, solid wood layers bonded under high pressure. The top layer of the turntable is made of specially satin-finished plastic. This composition minimizes resonances and ensures a perfect visual appearance.

The platter is driven by a polished flat belt from a completely decoupled direct current motor to minimize the transmission of interference noise. A generously dimensioned, highly stable, and outsourced power supply takes care of the voltage supply.

The new control technology with integrated auto-calibration, new adjustment options, and additional Tacho-Speed-Control („TSC“) achieves even better measurements in terms of uniformity and impulse stability. The entirely newly developed Tacho-Speed-Control constantly monitors the speed and provides real-time feedback to the control electronics. This allows it to immediately respond to changing influences such as decreasing belt tension, friction of the platter bearing, or temperature fluctuations. Additionally, TSC performs an automatic calibration at every restart. With the new concept Signature, manual recalibration is also possible at the push of a button on the back of the turntable.

Several O-rings („IMS“) improve the motor suspension decoupled from the chassis, which is adopted in a modified form from the Reference Jubilee. Simultaneously, the new encoder forms the basis for even more features of future generations and expansion stages.

In terms of design, the concept Signature stands out. The redesigned surface with an illuminated touch controller allows for intuitive operation of the turntable and sets new design accents.

The wide selection of Clearaudio tonearms and cartridges leaves nothing to be desired in terms of modularity. Perfect combinations for the concept Signature turntable include all MM cartridges, all MC cartridges from concept mc to Talisman V2 Gold, as well as all tonearms from concept to Profiler. Additionally, the concept clamp, a specially designed acrylic cover, and the nano phono V2 / smart phono V2 phono preamplifier or one of the two upgrade power supplies, Professional Power 12V / smart power 12V, from Clearaudio are recommended.

Verify Tonearm (Optional Extra)

The aluminium resonance-free headshell can be finely adjusted; the finely adjustable counterweight sets the exact tracking force. Stylish design and clean lines make the Verify a stunning eye-catcher as well as providing precise signal transfer and a calm, clear sound. This beauty is wired with Clearaudio’s high-quality Direct Wire. The Verify reaches its optimum sound when combined with the concept turntable and corresponding concept MC cartridge. For high-end music lovers and newcomers, this may be the most exciting complete turntable package of all time. But even on most other turntables, the Verify embodies an affordable synthesis between breath-taking design and detail-rich sonority. Cartridges with a weight from 2.5 to 17 grams are ideal partners for the Verify.

Concept V2 Moving Magnet Cartridge (Optional Extra)

The Clearaudio V2 moving magnet cartridges are meticulously measured, analysed, and hand-selected into four performance levels. In this way Clearaudio achieves the best stereo channel matching, minimum phase error and distortion, flattest frequency response and highest dynamic range at each price point.

The cartridges produce an audiophile sound of superlative quality – spatially detailed and vividly textured, with bass that does not wallow and treble that is not harsh. The models of the Clearaudio MM V2 series provide outstanding sound quality on all current tonearms.

With the exception of the MM concept V2, which is made of aluminium, all the cartridges in this series are made with housings of hand-polished ebony – the key to record-breaking weight values.
