The Acoustic Signature Ascona Neo turntable represents the pinnacle of analog playback technology, offering supreme quietness, explosive dynamics, and exceptional 3D imaging with fine detail resolution. It features a high-mass design with a massive aluminum chassis employing Constraint Layer Damping (CLD) technology for improved resonance behavior. The turntable is equipped with three integrated, completely insulated AC motors controlled by an external digital motor controller DMC-20 with a super stable multi-voltage power supply and innovative Automatic Vibration Control (AVC) level 3. It uses an ultra-precise, extremely rigid Dura Turn Diamond® (DTD®) bearing with a diamond-coated spindle for minimal friction and noise. The platter is oversized, anodized aluminum 335 mm in diameter, available in a standard version or an optional sandwich platter with an additional brass layer and 56 silencer modules to reduce vibration. The drive system is a double belt drive with RPM regulation and speed fine adjustment for the subplatter. The turntable supports up to three tonearms (9 to 12 inch) with adjustable armboards and features a 3-point setup with gel-damped feet and baseplate for optimal isolation. An integrated control panel blends seamlessly into the design. The Ascona Neo comes with a 15-year warranty upon registration and weighs approximately 58 kg (128 lbs). Dimensions are 480 x 460 x 200 mm (18" x 18" x 8"). It is available in black or silver anodized finishes with silencer modules in polished brass, with optional 24 carat gold-plated or polished chrome finishes.
