Alimentation Acoustic Signature DMC-50

The motors in Acoustic Signature’s NEO series turntables are controlled by fully digital electronics. These are connected to the motors via RJ45 cables. The DMC-50 takes this technology to a new level of perfection. Thanks to the Automatic Vibration Control (AVC Level 3) technology developed by Acoustic Signature, it measures in real time the distortions caused by motor phase shifts and, with a delay imperceptible to the listener, eliminates them.

The result: absolute serenity, deeper silences, and incomparable fluidity. This result is also achieved thanks to a microcontroller five times faster than that of the DMC-20 and a 100 VA toroidal transformer. The entire unit is housed in a solid aluminum chassis machined with extreme precision.

The Acoustic Signature DMC-50 power supply allows you to upgrade the turntables in the NEO series to Level 3 and unlock their full potential.

FAQ: Everything you need to know before buying the Acoustic Signature DMC-50

What does the DMC-50 do, and which turntables is it compatible with?

The DMC-50 is an external motor power supply designed specifically for Acoustic Signature's NEO range turntables. It connects to the motors via RJ45 cables and replaces the onboard motor control electronics. Its purpose is to drive the motors with greater precision and stability than the standard built-in electronics, unlocking the full potential of these turntables.

What is AVC level 3, and how does it differ from lower levels?

AVC (Automatic Vibration Control) measures motor signal phase shifts in real time and corrects them before they translate into audible vibrations. The DMC-50 implements AVC in its most advanced configuration — level 3 — using dedicated software and specific components for maximum effectiveness. Entry-level NEO turntables come with AVC level 1 as standard, meaning the DMC-50 represents a two-step upgrade in one go.

What internal components justify the DMC-50's performance?

The DMC-50 is built around a microcontroller five times faster than the one used in the DMC-20, enabling it to detect and correct motor distortions with an imperceptible delay. Power is supplied by a 100 VA toroidal transformer, valued for the purity and stability of the current it delivers. Everything is housed in a precisely machined solid aluminium chassis, chosen both for mechanical isolation and visual consistency with the rest of the NEO range.

What tangible benefit can a listener expect from adding the DMC-50 to their NEO turntable?

By eliminating residual motor vibrations, the DMC-50 lowers the turntable's overall noise floor. In listening terms, this means deeper silences between notes, improved separation of musical layers, and greater fluidity in playback. The improvement benefits the full frequency range, but is most noticeable in fine detail retrieval and the overall coherence of the soundstage.
