Acoustic Signature Tornado Neo
In the planning phase of our NEO series, we wanted to present a super flexible high mass turntable that would unleash audiophile forces far beyond its price range. Already prepared for 3 tonearms and equipped with our very latest innovative technologies, the Acoustic Signature Tornado NEO provides a captivating musical performance that will take even the most experienced analog enthusiasts by storm.
Acoustic Signature AVC:
The Automatic Vibration Control
Every rotating motor generates vibrations. This inevitable force is transmitted to the chassis and platter and consequently has a negative effect on the sonic performance of a turntable. Accordingly, it is important to effectively reduce undesired vibrations or even better prevent them from occurring in the first place – so much for the theory. Read More
Acoustic Signature CLD:
Constraint Layer Damping
Constraint Layer Damping (CLD) is a mechanical engineering method for the absorption or minimization of vibrations. In audio components CLD technology is usually implemented by using sandwich designs that ’embed’ a damping material layer between materials that do not themselves have sufficient damping properties. A cartridge will only track a record unaffected, if it finds a quiet surface without resonance interferences. Read More
Acoustic Signature DTD® Bearing:
A class of its own!
The bearing is the heart of every turntable. Although the bearing design is of such great importance, its development – from the view of physics – is often characterized by imprecise to wrong approaches. Any conventional bearing that is confronted with a heavier platter is extremely sensitive in terms of handling. Read More
