In Acoustic Signature’s Neo turntable series, the\u00a0Tornado\u00a0is the youngest of three.\u00a0The names of the other two are also from the field of meteorology: Hurricane and Typhoon.<\/p>\n

The Tornado Neo Chassis is a 43mm thick shaped aluminum slab mounted on three adjustable gel-damped mounts.\u00a0A disk made of monolithic aluminum almost 5 cm thick is equipped with four “absorbers” – brass damping elements located at the tops of the square.\u00a0Under the disc is a proprietary Dura Turn Diamond bearing with sub disc and fully insulated AC motor.<\/p>\n

The Tornado Neo engine is equipped with a double belt drive.\u00a0This 24-pole, synchronous, two-coil AC system is driven by respectively two separate, stabilized sinusoidal signals, which are out of phase by 90 degrees.\u00a0They are formed by the digital motor controller DMC-10.\u00a0Such an algorithm, according to Acoustic Signature, ensures the accuracy of maintaining speed, smoothness and silence (absence of vibration) of rotation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The system is controlled by two buttons and two LEDs on the cylindrical console.\u00a0One button starts or stops rotation, the other allows you to select the speed.\u00a0During speed stabilization, the LED flashes, red corresponds to 33.3 rpm, and green corresponds to 45 rpm.<\/p>\n

The TA-2000 Neo 9 tonearm is 9 inches long and comes with everything you need for installation and setup.\u00a0Adjustments include overhang, offset angle, VTA\/SRA, and anti-skating.\u00a0Azimuth adjustment is not documented, but is also possible.\u00a0Moreover, 3 tonearms can be installed simultaneously on Tornado Neo.\u00a0The turntable can initially be equipped not only with the TA-2000, but also with the TA-1000 arm, both available in 9- or 12-inch versions.\u00a0The turntable is available in black or silver or a combination of the two.<\/p>\n

In the US, the Acoustic Signature Tornado Neo turntable can be purchased for $7,500, while the TA-2000 Neo 9 arm costs an additional $3,500.<\/p>\n
