Silencer & CLD technology
The 335 mm wide platter of the Invictus Jr. NEO is made of 50 mm thick aluminum alloy with brass inserts. It is equipped with 24 silencer modules on the inside and 32 on the outside to eliminate vibrations highly effectively.
Maximum dynamics & smoothness
The highest level of our Automatic Vibration Control – AVC Level 3 – as well as six fully isolated AC motors and a triple-belt driven sub-platter form the basis for the unrivaled performance of the Invictus NEO!
Gold
In the black-gold version, numerous components of the Invictus NEO are already coated with a gold layer at the factory. On request, the Silencer modules are also available with 24-carat gold plating.
The perfect setup
The Invictus rack is designed to unleash the full sound potential of the Invictus NEO. The rack blends harmoniously with the design of the turntable and is individually matched to the chosen finish of the Invictus NEO.
Maximum configuration
For maximum sound variability, the Invictus NEO can be equipped with up to four 9- to 12-inch tone arms. The adjustable tonearm bases with exchangeable arm boards are manufactured individually for your tonearm(s).
Test reports
“Lest you forget, it was the Invictus that inspired my first use of that word, ‘complete.’ […] I’ve never heard an analog source hold its grip and preserve a note’s shape and timing in the bass and treble as faithfully. […] This is the most complete, most neutral, most lifelike, most musical turntable / tonearm I have heard in my system. […] The Invictus NEO and TA-9000 NEO are not only new and improved; they are, in my experience, unmatched.”

“This incredibly massive […] objet du son from Gunther Frohnhoefer of Germany is not only the biggest, heaviest, and most imperturbable record player JV has ever come across, it is also the simplest to use […] and […] the best-sounding. Unbelievably quiet in playback, its SLM-constructed tonearm tracks with the precision of a cutterhead, reproducing instruments with outstanding dimensionality, solidity, color, detail, power, pace — all those good things — and turning the soundstage into a veritable diorama of a symphony orchestra, a string quartet, a jazz quintet, or a rock trio.”
