Reference Jubilee

The new Reference Jubilee turntable marries the best of ‘Clearaudio past, present and future’ to usher in a new era of analogue precision. It delivers lifelong synchronized rotational speed, astonishingly low levels of both resonance and friction, and a breathtaking moment of torque.

Its 6cm-thick main platter is constructed from highly damped polyoxymethylene (POM) and, as you might expect with any Clearaudio turntable, the platter rotates on a special variation of the brand’s own patented ceramic magnetic bearing (CMB). The motor housing is elaborately decoupled from the chassis by an elaborate network of rubber ‘tightropes’.

Description

CONSTRUCTION DETAILS:
  • Resonance-optimised chassis shape
  • Made of laminated wood and aluminium with precision CNC machined surface
  • All turntable feet are fine adjustable
  • Optical Speed Control (OSC)
  • IMS – Innovative Motor Suspension
    (Suspension design of the motor using 18 O-rings)
SPEED OPTIONS: 33 ⅓, 45, 78rpm
DRIVE UNIT:
  • High torque 24V DC motor with belt drive
  • Fully automatic self-calibration of the speed by a push of a button
  • Hybrid engine control:
    A high resolution 12 bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) generates a motor reference voltage, which is fed into the purely analog motor control.
    Automatic compensation of friction and temperature changes on the platter bearings and belts.
    The speed remains in the perfect range at all times.
