Clearaudio Professional Power 12V: An External Power Supply for Turntables

The Clearaudio Professional Power 12V is a high-quality 12V DC external power supply, specifically designed for Clearaudio turntables in the Concept and Performance DC series. Based on a transformer and equipped with advanced regulation electronics, it provides a perfectly stable and filtered voltage, free from noise and interference, essential for optimal sound reproduction.

Thanks to its meticulous design and the use of professional-grade electronic components, the Professional Power 12V is positioned between the standard power supply provided with the turntables and the high-end battery power supply Smart Power 12V from Clearaudio. It thus offers an excellent performance/price compromise for demanding vinyl enthusiasts.

Enhanced Filtering for a Purer Sound

Compared to the original power supply of Clearaudio turntables, the Professional Power 12V offers more advanced filtering that effectively eliminates noise and ripple residues from the power supply voltage. This results in a purer sound, with a better signal-to-noise ratio and increased transparency.

This “clean” power supply directly benefits the performance of the motors in the Concept and Performance DC turntables. The rotation is more regular and stable, without micro-speed variations. The power reserves are also increased, allowing the motor to better resist braking when applying strong pressure on the platter with a cleaning brush, for example.

An Optimized Anti-Vibration Transformer

At the heart of the Professional Power 12V is a high-quality transformer, specially optimized to minimize mechanical vibrations. Its shielding and characteristics allow it to operate in total silence, without generating hums or buzzes that could be transmitted and amplified by the turntable.

The aluminum casing of the Professional Power also contributes to this performance by preventing any resonance. Available in silver or black finish, it elegantly integrates with the design of Clearaudio turntables.

Significant Sound Improvement

Using the Professional Power 12V brings a noticeable improvement in sound quality compared to the original power supply. The music gains in definition, dynamics, and realism. Silences are deeper, revealing more micro-details. The soundstage is better focused, with an improved sense of depth and instrument positioning.

Paired with a high-end cartridge, the Professional Power 12V allows you to fully exploit the potential of Clearaudio Concept and Performance DC turntables in terms of transparency, musicality, and respect for the musical message. It is an essential link for audiophiles wishing to build a reference vinyl chain.
