User manual

Made in Germany

Silver with natural wood chassis

Black with black chassis

Dear Clearaudio customer,

You have purchased a State-Of-The-Art turntable, the

Ovation

, a world class product of Clearaudio

electronic GmbH.

Congratulations on your purchase!

With the

Ovation

turntable, Clearaudio made use of the OSC (Optical-Speed-Control) technology found

in the

Innovation

turntables series by implanting it into a precision milled Panzerholz (bullet proof wood)

chassis. This chassis is combined with an anti-resonance mat that is capable of absorbing a huge amount

of energy. This is due to the use of more than 100,000 small stainless steel balls which absorb unwanted

resonance.

Thus, the turntable combines the latest technology and innovation in a classic design, at a perfect price/

performance ratio.

Please read this user manual carefully so that you can enjoy all the advantages of your

Ovation

turntable. All information given will help to generate the best performance and avoid any possible

damages.

We hope you will enjoy your new Clearaudio

Ovation

turntable.

Now you can set the sub-platter carefully onto the bearing.

First remove the security mat on the backside of the sub-platter (security tape for OSC - graduated collar

(Optical Speed Control)).

To avoid any damage, make sure you slide the sub-platter slowly and carefully onto the bearing.

After that, take the included belt and place it around the motor and the sub-platter.

At this point the sub-platter will be higher than the pulley. This is normal, as the CMB requires the weight

of the platter to fully engage it.
