Acoustic Signature technologies and innovations
Acoustic Signature turntables have always been distinguished by their use of pioneering technologies. Our developments include the ‘Silencer’ and our CLD (Constraint Layer Damping) technologies which reduce platter and cabinet resonances to groundbreaking minimal levels. Our AVC (Automatic Vibration Control) technology lowers the vibrations inevitably caused by motor rotation to a barely measurable level. Our Tidorfolon® bearing distanced commercially available bearing constructions with a level of noise and friction that approached zero and with its maintenance-free design.
Ascona NEO
But innovation knows no standstill: For the NEO series all our highly acclaimed achievements were examined by the Acoustic Signature team with regard to their potential for improvement. In this process we have left no stone unturned and pushed the limits of what is technically feasible.
Invictus NEO
This resulted in even more effective Silencer, CLD and AVC technologies and a brand new bearing design with diamond-coated spindle – the Dura Turn Diamond® Bearing (DTD®), which leaves the famous Tidorfolon® bearing behind in terms of precision and robustness.
The Acoustic Signature AVC technology (Automatic Vibration Control)
This resulted in even more effective Silencer, CLD and AVC technologies and a brand new bearing design with diamond-coated spindle – the Dura Turn Diamond® Bearing (DTD®), which leaves the famous Tidorfolon® bearing behind in terms of precision and robustness.
The Acoustic Signature CLD technology (Constraint Layer Damping)
Our Constraint Layer Damping technology (CLD) helps minimizing sound-quality affecting vibrations so that the cartridge can track on a ‘quiet’ turntable surface without resonance-related impairment. In addition to the Silencer technology, this is achieved by unique sandwich platter constructions and particularly sophisticated material mixes.
The Acoustic Signature AVC technology (Automatic Vibration Control)
The bearing is the heart of every turntable. With the new, maintenance-free Acoustic Signature Dura Turn Diamond® bearing, we have succeeded again in minimizing the unavoidable noise level caused by the mechanical movement of the bearing. At the same time a spindle with a diamond-like hard surface reduces the friction coefficient by 60 (!) percent – optimal conditions for world-class sound!
