Design highlight
The Tornado NEO is available in three diffe­rent versions. The anodized aluminum surfaces are available in silver, black or bi-color.
 
Silencer and CLD technology
4 silencer modules are embedded in the platter of the Tornado NEO. Together with our CLD aluminum chassis, these ensure an effec­tive mini­mi­zation of unwanted vibrations.
 
AVC technology
The Tornado NEO is equipped with our highly inno­vative AVC (Auto­matic Vibra­tion Control) techno­logy. The inte­gra­ted, fully iso­lated AC motor with double-belt drive is supplied via the external DMC-10 digital motor elec­tro­nics with super-stable multi-voltage power supply.
 
Benchmark precision
The Dura Turn Diamond® Bearing: Our pionee­ring DTD® bearing also ‘beats’ at the heart of the Typhoon NEO.

“Gunther Frohn­hoefer’s Tornado NEO is defin­itively a musical all-rounder. Every moment you spend in its company, you can’t help but notice the exten­sive tech­nical expe­rience of its deve­loper who extrac­ted the maxi­mum analog enjoy­ment out of a turn­table, but with­out mixing in any arti­fi­cial gimmickry.”
Roland Schmen­ner, Fidelity 11/2021
