Beskrivning

Compass är en ny, färdigmonterad skivspelare som samlar high-end-ljud och tysk ingenjörskonst till ett mer tillgängligt pris. Efter två års utveckling lanserar Clearaudio en modell som är kompakt, kompromisslös och redo att spela – helt monterad och färdig.

Drivverket bygger på Clearaudios precisionstillverkade lager och ett specialutvecklat tallrik/sub-tallrikssystem som ger tyst, stabil gång och minimal resonans. Den solida stålplattan i chassit bidrar till hög stabilitet och en ren, ofärgad återgivning. På undersidan finns en hastighetsväljare som växlar mellan 33 1/3 och 45 rpm.

Den nya T1-tonarmen är en kompakt version av Clearaudios välkända Satisfy-arm. Med sin lätta, resonansoptimerade konstruktion säkerställer den exakt spårning och följsamhet – perfekt för att låta pickupen arbeta under optimala förhållanden.

Compass levereras med den nya N1 MM-pickupen, framtagen specifikt för att matcha spelaren. Resultatet är en naturlig, dynamisk och detaljerad återgivning som lyfter både nya och välspelade skivor till sin fulla potential.

Clearaudio opens the door to genuine high-end technology with the ready-to-play compass turntable: compact, uncompromising, and accessible. The result of over two years of development, the compass distills the full fascination of analog sound reproduction into a singular experience, for everyone who wants not just to listen to music, but to truly feel it.

Focus on the Essentials
To make high-quality vinyl enjoyment possible in this price segment, we concentrated our expertise on the elements that matter most to sound quality. At its heart lies a precision bearing combined with a meticulously crafted platter and sub-platter system. Added to this are the new T1 tonearm – a compact version of our proven Satisfy tonearm – and the specially developed N1 MM cartridge. Together, they create a sound experience that far exceeds the expectations for compact-class systems.

Where Sound Meets Craftsmanship
Every acoustically relevant component, from tonearm and cartridge to bearing, is manufactured with utmost care at our facility in Erlangen. Precisely machined parts, selected materials, and a design focused on durability embody the Clearaudio signature quality: handmade in Germany.

Perfectly Minimalist Design
The compass impresses not only with its sound but also with its clear design language. Available in black or silver, its look blends purist elegance with technical sophistication. A solid steel plate on the underside ensures stability and supports low-resonance performance. A high-quality acrylic dust cover with stainless steel hinges protects the turntable without disrupting the design.

Unbox. Set Up. Turn Up.
The Clearaudio compass is delivered fully assembled and ready to play, allowing direct entry into the world of high-fidelity music enjoyment. A user-friendly toggle switch on the underside of the unit selects the desired speed, while the precisely engineered tonearm is gently lowered using a turned aluminum lever. Height-adjustable feet with integrated decoupling ensure optimal smoothness of operation.
