Maximus NEO
What is the reference product for other manufacturers is the starting point turntable for Acoustic Signature. The Maximus NEO, the successor of the popular Maximus, already performs at a level that leaves many so-called flagships behind!
Maximus NEO in silverblackbi-color
Special features:
- Quiet AC-motor with external, super stable multi-voltage power supply
- Integrated digital motor controller
- Innovative AVC technology level 1 (Automatic Vibration Control)
- Ultraprecise, extremely rigid and robust DTD® bearing with diamond-coated spindle (Dura Turn Diamond® Bearing)
- New and 30 % larger, resonance-reducing aluminum alloy chassis with aluminum platter
Pioneering bearing
Even our ‘smallest’ comes with a benchmark bearing design: The new, maintenance-free DTD® bearing with diamond-coated spindle is extremely robust, rigid and ultra-precise.
AVC technology
The integrated AC motor with speed-regulated belt drive is super quiet and is powered by an external, extremely stable multi-voltage power supply. Our innovative AVC technology is also used in the Maximus NEO.
Purist design
The control panel is harmoniously integrated into the chassis and controls the precise digital motor electronics of the Maximus NEO.
Resonance-reducing chassis design
The chassis is based on our unique CLD technology and is realized with special aluminum alloys in the Maximus NEO. The 3-point suspension with the gel-damped feet specially developed by Acoustic Signature ensures optimum decoupling.
Test report
“The southern German analog specialist presents a turntable that has a thought-out design down to the smallest aspects and is manufactured exquisitely. The dynamically gripping and at the same time finely differentiated sound with compact, accurately ordered spatial imaging corresponds to the flawless finish in its finesse.”
