The Acoustic Signature Ascona NEO is a high-mass turntable designed around the company’s extensive experience in precision analogue engineering. Its substantial aluminium chassis uses Constraint Layer Damping (CLD), while the large 42 kg platter combines multiple materials and Acoustic Signature’s Silencer technology to control unwanted vibration.

Drive is provided by four completely insulated AC motors operating through a regulated belt-drive system. The external DMC-20 motor controller provides precise speed management and incorporates Acoustic Signature’s AVC (Anti-Vibration Control) technology. The turntable also uses the company’s Dura Turn Diamond (DTD) bearing, featuring a diamond-coated spindle for precise platter rotation.

The Ascona NEO can accommodate multiple tonearms through its adjustable arm bases and interchangeable armboards. Three height-adjustable, 3D double-damped feet provide a stable three-point support system, while the integrated control panel allows convenient operation.
