The Acoustic Signature TA-9000 NEO is a precision-engineered tonearm designed for extremely low friction, high rigidity and accurate cartridge tracking. Its extensively damped, multi-structure aluminum armtube is engineered to combine rigidity with very low resonance, supporting precise retrieval of musical detail.
Available in both 9-inch and 12-inch versions, the TA-9000 NEO uses pre-tensioned, high-precision Timken ball bearings for smooth, frictionless tonearm movement. Its NEO stainless-steel tonearm axis is designed to further improve rigidity and operational smoothness.
Signal transmission is handled by 4N high-purity silver internal wiring, with a 1.5-meter Atlas Equator phono cable supplied and available with RCA or XLR termination. A brass counterweight, adjustable VTA and azimuth, and SME-style mounting provide extensive cartridge setup flexibility.
