When we told you Acoustic Signature didn't overlook anything in the design of their turntables, we meant it. Recently the engineers redesigned the power supply to better meet your needs. The result is the Alpha Power Supply. The perfect engine for your Acoustic-Signature turntable. All AC synchronous motors are normally speed-linked directly to the frequency of the main voltage from your wall. A simple transformer is all that most manufactures use to convert wall voltage to the motors input. This is problematic for several reasons. The voltage from your wall contains quite a bit of "noise", spikes and distortions, that can seriously affects the performance of the motor, creating speed fluctuations as well as physical vibration due to phase shifts in the sine waves caused by shifting capacitors. The result is an unsatisfying listening experience. And your fun listening music depends extremely from the quality of main power. The Alpha Power Supply completely decouples your motor from your wall voltage, making the Acoustic-Signature turntable invulnerable to AC power fluctuations. This is achieved through a series of refinements. First the Alpha reduces your wall voltage from 230V/115V to 36V, cleaning up the signal and putting it into a more manageable form. The second step converts your AC power to DC current, which is less susceptible to "line noise." The Alpha then uses the DC current and its own built in precision oscillator to produce a perfectly clean sine wave of 24V. This perfect output wave is then used to power the motor, resulting in a clean, steady spin. The Alpha is impervious to the negative effects household appliances can have on a turntable
drive. The Alpha can power up to three separate motors. Similar power supplies cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars. Acoustic Signature provides the upgraded Alpha Power Supply with every turntable at no extra cost. From the wall to your ears no stone was left unturned. Using the Alpha improves the sound quality of the turntable in a very effective way.
