Acoustic Signature Thirty NEO

Since 1996, Acoustic Signa­ture has been deve­loping and manu­factu­ring turn­tables and tone­arms of the highest quality, which have earned a world­wide repu­tation among the trade press and music lovers alike.

Reason enough to cele­brate Acoustic Signa­ture’s 30th anni­ver­sary with a turn­table worthy of such a miles­tone: the Thirty NEO!

The Thirty NEO repre­sents the culmi­nation of Acoustic Signa­ture’s concen­trated technical expertise, our unique manu­fac­turing capa­bili­ties, and, not least, our spirit of inno­vation, as it marks the first appli­cation of an exten­sion of our CLD tech­nology: An integral part of the 335 mm platter, which is also used in our flagship turn­table, the Invictus NEO, are the bezel-like inserts on the platter’s rim.

In combi­nation with Acoustic Signa­ture’s proven Silencers, these inno­vative damping elements, mounted on a total of 16 O-rings, ensure even more effec­tive vibration absorp­tion. Deco­rative strips embedded in the front of the chassis under­score the current design language of Acoustic Signa­ture’s NEO turn­tables.

The 3-motor Thirty NEO, invisibly driven by a sub-platter and prepared for up to three tonearms, is equipped with DMC-20 and AVC Level 3 – the highest confi­guration levels of digital motor controls and Acoustic Signa­ture’s Automatic Vibration Control, respec­tively.

The heart of the Thirty NEO is the company’s industry-leading DTD®-bearing. All of these features combine to elevate the Acoustic Signa­ture Thirty NEO’s musical perfor­mance to a level where the anni­versary model can confi­dently compete with turn­tables on the global market that cost many times more.
