Soundscape Product Listing
The Solution Series from Clear Audio
A turntable should not have a sound of its own. In keeping with this philosophy, painstaking research and development led to a combination of exquisite materials for the construction of the Clearaudio line. This is true for their entry-level model, the Solution, as much as for our Master Reference top model.
Through optimizing the form and layout of all chassis, they minimize resonances and ensure unpolluted sound, even when you really turn up the wick. Clearaudio supplies a number of tonearm mounting boards; besides their successful parallel-tracking tonearms, all pivoted designs can be used without any problems which allows the owner complete freedom of choice.
Solution AMG CMB
The Solution turntable
is your entry into the world of multi-arm systems. It uses the same 30mm platter
and three point star shaped plinth as the Master Reference. This design allows
you to mount up to three different tonearms at once! The Solution has many arm/table
packages are available. Please contact us for more informtion on available packages.
Once you have purchased a Solution, you have the ability to upgrade to either
the Master Solution or the Maximum Solution.

Master Solution AMG Wood CMB
Our development
of the Solution Series turntables is the result of decades of experience in
the analog industry. Naturally, you'll find the reliable inverted platter/bearing,
the external motor and the ingenious, resonance optimised chassis, all characteristics
of Clearaudio turntables.
These High-End turntables use only first rate, selected materials. Computer controlled CNC machining combined with handcrafting in our German factory guarantees precise tolerances and a timeless design. The Master Solution features our 70mm thick platter and 12mm reference bearing system. It also uses massive stainless steel armboard mounting bases to increase turntable mass further improving sound.

Maximum Solution AMG Wood CMB
The Maximum Solution
leaves no wish unfulfilled. It is the top of the line of the Solution series.
A comprehensive upgrade concept is incorporated in the design of the Solution series. This upgrade path allows one to move from the entry level to the ultimate with virtually no loss of initial investment.
Built upon the Master Solution platform, upgrades include the drive, Accurate Power Generator (APG) motor synchronizer, and a second GS-Acrylic three pointed star plinth. The three pointed star plinth positions the motors precisely and tensions the belt-drive system for lowest possible distortion. These enhanced features are derived from the Clearaudio flagship Master Reference turntable.
The Maximum Solution provides performance second only to our Master Reference
turntable but at a significantly lower expense and fully upgradeable from the
base Solution model. The Maximum Solution is the ultimate expression of the
Clearaudio philosophy.
