Powerful AC Motor with DMC-10 Digital Control

At the core of the Acoustic Signature Tornado NEO is an integrated, fully insulated AC motor, paired with the brand’s advanced external DMC-10 digital motor controller. This setup includes a multi-voltage power supply designed for ultimate stability, even under varying power conditions. The DMC-10 supports Level 1 AVC (Automatic Vibration Control), a proprietary technology that eliminates unwanted motor vibrations, allowing for an exceptionally smooth playback that brings out every detail in a record. The external control panel, which is flexibly placeable, gives users effortless access to speed adjustments and operational control.

Precision Engineering with DTD® Bearing and Silencer Technology

The Tornado NEO features Acoustic Signature’s ultra-precise DTD® (Dura Turn Diamond®) bearing system. This diamond-coated bearing is known for its incredible durability and rigidity, providing a solid foundation for playback with reduced friction and minimised resonance. To further elevate audio purity, Acoustic Signature has integrated four high-performance silencer modules into the 11 kg anodised aluminium platter. These modules are meticulously designed to reduce vibration, ensuring that the audio is untainted by even the most subtle interference.

RPM-Regulated Dual Belt Drive for Optimal Playback Speed

Ensuring precise playback speed, the Tornado NEO uses an RPM-regulated double belt drive system with fine-tuning capabilities for the subplatter. This dual-belt mechanism is carefully calibrated to provide consistent speed across both the 33⅓ and 45 RPM settings, delivering pitch-perfect playback with reduced wow and flutter, so every note resonates as intended.

Robust Chassis with CLD Technology and Gel-Damped Feet

Built on a solid 45 mm aluminium alloy chassis, the Tornado NEO features Acoustic Signature’s CLD (Constraint Layer Damping) technology to significantly reduce structural resonance, producing a clean and focused sound. This is complemented by the turntable’s three-point setup, complete with height-adjustable gel-damped aluminium feet, ensuring optimal stability and vibration isolation even on less-than-perfect surfaces.

Versatile Tonearm Compatibility and Customisable Design

The Tornado NEO is ready for up to three tonearms, making it an excellent choice for analogue enthusiasts who seek maximum versatility in playback options. The design includes three adjustable armboards compatible with 9- to 12-inch tonearms, with the primary armboard pre-configured for the user’s preferred tonearm and additional boards available for expansion. This feature allows users to switch between multiple cartridges and setups, enhancing their listening flexibility.

Premium Package and Accessories for a Complete Experience

The Acoustic Signature Tornado NEO package includes all necessary components for immediate setup, from the main chassis and platter to essential accessories such as a carbon mat, power cord, and specialised tools. Additional items include an armbase wrench, RJ45 patch cable, and even a set of gloves for handling, ensuring that users can experience the turntable at its peak from the moment of unboxing.

Built with a focus on quality and longevity, the Tornado NEO is backed by a 15-year warranty (with registration), affirming Acoustic Signature’s commitment to craftsmanship. For those looking to invest in a long-lasting high-end turntable, the Tornado NEO represents a solid choice in both performance and peace of mind.
