Clearaudio Compass Belt Drive Turntable

Clearaudio brings true high-end performance within reach with the ready-to-play Compass turntable—compact, uncompromising, and approachable. Developed over more than two years, Compass captures the magic of analog sound in a focused, immersive experience for listeners who want more than music—they want to feel it.

Engineered Around What Matters Most
To deliver outstanding vinyl playback at this level, Clearaudio concentrated on the essentials that define sound quality. At the core is a precision bearing paired with a carefully engineered platter and sub-platter system. The new T1 tonearm—a compact evolution of the proven Satisfy arm—and the specially developed N1 MM cartridge complete the package. Together, they produce a sound that far exceeds expectations for a turntable of this size and class.

Where Sound Meets Craftsmanship
Every acoustically critical component—from tonearm and cartridge to bearing—is crafted with exceptional care at Clearaudio’s facility in Erlangen. Precisely machined parts, premium materials, and a design focused on long-term durability reflect the brand’s hallmark quality: handmade in Germany.

Pure, Minimalist Design
Compass stands out not only sonically, but visually. Available in black or silver, its clean, refined look blends minimalist elegance with technical sophistication. A solid steel base plate enhances stability and minimizes resonance, while a high-quality acrylic dust cover with stainless steel hinges protects the turntable without interrupting its aesthetic.

Unbox. Set Up. Turn Up.
The Clearaudio Compass arrives fully assembled and ready to play, making it easy to step straight into high-fidelity listening. A simple toggle switch on the underside selects playback speed, while the precisely engineered tonearm is gently lowered via a turned aluminum lever. Height-adjustable feet with integrated decoupling ensure smooth, stable operation from the very first record.
