The Verona Neo: classic elegance, cutting-edge technology

The Acoustic Signature Verona Neo presents itself in a classic form, but of an impressive size (55 x 45 cm) that reflects its design for one or two tonearms of 9 or 12 inches. It weighs a substantial 33 kg. Available in two superb finishes — Makassar wood or piano black lacquer (7 coats) — the Verona Neo is the perfect synthesis between ultramodern technology and classic design. Its sophisticated and very massive chassis is composed of three layers of MDF, steel and plywood press-bonded with a specific flexible adhesive.

The 50 mm solid aluminum platter, 310 mm in diameter and weighing close to 11 kg, features 8 polished brass Silencer modules that increase inertia and reduce internal resonances. A composite damping mat completes the assembly. The platter spins on an ultra-precise DTD® spindle housed in a virtually indestructible Dura Turn Diamond® bearing, guaranteed for 15 years. This mechanism sets a new benchmark in maintenance, residual noise and longevity.

Belt drive is entrusted to two silent 2-coil / 24-pole AC motors, controlled by AVC Level III technology — the highest level in the entire Neo range. This real-time digital correction of motor signal phase shifts neutralizes the primary cause of residual vibrations in synchronous motors, with maximum efficiency thanks to Level III's specific software and components. An integrated control unit connected to the ultra-stable multi-voltage external DMC-20 power supply manages start-up and speed selection between 33 and 45 rpm.

The TA-5000 Neo 12-inch: the absolute reference

The TA-5000 Neo is the fourth tonearm in the Acoustic Signature range, designed and manufactured in Germany with the same standards as the highest-end models. Its 12-inch version offers an effective length of 309 mm with an effective mass of 14.4 g. It accommodates both MM and MC cartridges, though the latter are especially recommended on a tonearm of this quality.

The triple-layer carbon tube delivers remarkable rigidity and very low resonance. High-precision miniature SKF ball bearings on a machined stainless steel spindle offer flawless tracking. The solid brass counterweight provides the necessary mass with natural damping. Anti-skating correction is applied via a dial to the right of the tonearm pivot, for a precise and long-lasting adjustment.

The highly technical aluminum headshell is machined from solid aluminum and is compatible with the vast majority of cartridges on the market. Internal wiring is made from 4N high-purity silver conductors with silver-plated cartridge connectors offering extremely low resistance and negligible capacitance. Scottish manufacturer Atlas PSC copper Din 5-pin/RCA cable included. SME type mount with precise VTA adjustment, included.

Listening: high-fidelity in its fullest expression

The Verona Neo stands out for its remarkable fluidity of playback. Added to this is an exceptionally lively and dynamic sound. The Acoustic Signature reproduces music with ease and fluency, which makes you want to listen to records on repeat. It also offers excellent neutrality and a surprising realism that transports you directly into the studio or the recording hall. The Verona Neo effortlessly displays a vast soundstage that remains very precise and defined.

The TA-5000 Neo delivers a soundstage of surgical precision, rarely achieved in analogue playback. Dynamics are present but with remarkable finesse, never coarse or exaggerated. It keeps the cartridge perfectly in the groove without adding any coloration. The bass register is reproduced with great power and precision, without coloring, giving a surprising realism. In the mid-high range, one finds clarity with considerably more finesse and nuance. The Verona Neo's exceptionally well-built chassis allows the tonearm to express itself fully. A tonearm of exceptional musicality that inspires pairing with the finest MC cartridges on the market. Our absolute reference.
