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.
