CLEARAUDIO PROFESSIONAL POWER 24V DC POWER SUPPLY BASED AROUND A TOROIDAL TRANSFORMER
The new Clearaudio Professional Power 24V is a standalone DC power supply that is designed to complement the German brand’s Innovation Series.
In addition, it also supports the Clearaudio Ovation turntable.
CLEARAUDIO PROFESSIONAL POWER 24V DC POWER SUPPLY
Clearaudio is offering existing owners and new buyers of the Ovation and Innovation Series turntables a third choice of power supply in the form of the Clearaudio Professional Power 24V. This sits in the range between the standard SMPS unit with which all these models were initially launched, and the premium battery-powered Clearaudio Smart Power 24V which costs £2,630.
LINEAR PSU
The Professional Power 24V is a high-quality linear PSU, based around a toroidal transformer, large electrolytic capacitors and all-discrete MOSFET voltage stabilisation to provide the essential steady 24 volt DC supply. The unit’s construction features professional-grade electronic components and a carefully mounted transformer within the compact cylindrical case, compliantly suspended to help reduce mechanical noise output and inward microphonic effects.
With an 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.
