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).
