Typhoon NEO
The Typhoon NEO knows almost no compromises! Prepared for 3 tonearms and equipped with the second-highest expansion stages of our newest drive system and chassis technologies, this high mass turntable will produce high audiophile waves – in the most positive sense. It is absolutely clear to us: The overall performance of the Acoustic Signature Typhoon NEO is at a level that will beat some of the world’s best and much more expensive turntables.

Design
The Typhoon NEO convinces with it’s eye catching design approach and the perfect manufacturing quality. The chassis is made of 75 mm aluminum alloy and is resting on special gel-damped feet.
Three motors
3 integrated, completely insulated AC-motors power the subplatter of the Typhoon NEO via a RPM-regulated double belt drive. The turntable reaches the second-highest expansion stage of our AVC technology (level 2).
CLD & 3 tonearms
Our CLD technology provides a significantly improved resonance behavior. The turntable is available in 3 finishes: silver, black and a special bi-color combination. Up to 3 tonearms are mountable on the Typhoon NEO.
DTD® bearing
The bearing is the heart of every turntable. The Typhoon NEO is equipped with our new groundbreaking Dura Turn Diamond® bearing.
Silencer modules
The Silencers absorb unwanted vibrations, leading to a huge improvement in sound fidelity. The Typhoon NEO’s platter features 24 Silencer modules. The basic Silencer finish is polished brass with an optional upgrade to 24 carat gold-plated or polished chrome.
Stormy siblings
The basic design approach unites the Tornado NEO, Hurricane NEO and Typhoon NEO turntables. All three models are subplatter driven and have the new DTD® bearing in common.
But the further features and technology levels of the three high mass turntables differ aside these characteristics:
