Unique design language
The integrated control panel of the Ascona NEO blends seamlessly into the design of the turntable.
CLD sandwich construction
Our unique CLD technology, implemented in the Ascona NEO with a 50 mm thick aluminum base and an aluminum platter with brass layer and 56 silencer modules, results in enormously improved resonance behavior.
Optimal set-up
A special feature of the Ascona NEO is its aluminum base plate, which perfectly decouples the chassis’ three height-adjustable feet damped with special gel.
Maximum dynamics & smoothness
The highest level of our Automatic Vibration Control – AVC Level 3 – as well as three fully isolated AC motors and a double-belt driven sub-platter form the basis for the fantastic performance of the Ascona NEO!
Tonearms
The Ascona NEO can be equipped with up to three 9- to 12-inch tonearms. The adjustable tonearm bases with exchangeable arm boards are manufactured individually for your tonearm(s).
