高精度轉盤系統:配備 20mm 厚的壓克力轉盤及 CNC 加工的鋁製子轉盤,搭配拋光鋼軸與燒結青銅襯套,提供極穩定的轉速精度(誤差僅 0.05%)。
2. 全新開發的高階配件組合
全新 T1 唱臂:專為 Compass 設計,是品牌經典 Satisfy 唱臂的緊湊版本,全金屬構造並配有外部防滑調節。
專屬 N1 唱頭:標配全新 N1 動磁(MM)唱頭,具備橢圓唱針與鋁製懸臂,能輸出 3.3mV 的信號,音質清晰且細節豐富。
Direct Wire PLUS 佈線:唱臂內部採用高品質線材,確保類比信號傳輸的完整性。
3. 使用體驗與聲音表現
即拆即用 (Ready-to-play):出廠時已完成組裝與基礎調校,用家只需開箱、接線即可播放,簡化了黑膠系統的複雜設定。
寬闊深邃的音場:權威音響雜誌評測指出,其聲音具有良好的空間感與透明度,低音表現尤其靈敏且精確。
操作簡便:底座設有切換 33 ⅓ 與 45 RPM 轉速的撥桿,並附帶高質感的壓克力防塵蓋。

The Clearaudio Compass is a belt-drive turntable designed to provide a high-end "plug-and-play" experience at a more accessible price point than the brand's flagship models. Handcrafted in Erlangen, Germany, it emphasizes precision engineering and ease of use.
Key Selling Points
- Ready-to-Play Convenience: The turntable comes fully assembled out of the box with the tonearm and cartridge pre-installed, making it ideal for beginners or those seeking a hassle-free setup.
- Precision German Engineering: Every critical component, including the bearing and tonearm, is handmade in Germany at Clearaudio's facility, ensuring high build quality and longevity.
- Advanced Bearing & Platter System:
Features a polished, tempered steel spindle in a sintered bronze bushing on a Teflon thrust pad for silent, smooth rotation.
Uses a 20mm thick acrylic platter paired with a CNC-machined aluminum sub-platter to improve rotational stability and reduce noise.
- High-Performance T1 Tonearm: Derived from the premium Satisfy model, this aluminum radial tonearm is optimized for tracking accuracy and includes high-quality "Direct Wire PLUS" internal cabling.
- Purpose-Built N1 MM Cartridge: Equipped with a specially developed moving-magnet cartridge that features an elliptical stylus and aluminum housing, designed to deliver detailed and spatial sound reproduction.
- Resonance-Optimized Design:
The chassis is made from medium-density wood fiber (MDF) with a solid steel bottom plate for added mass and vibration damping.
Height-adjustable decoupling feet ensure stability and isolate the system from external vibrations.
- Silent Belt-Drive Motor: A decoupled, resonance-damped 12V DC motor provides electronic speed switching (33 ⅓ and 45 RPM) with a measured speed accuracy of ±0.05%.
