Maximus NEO

Acoustic Signature

What is the refe­rence pro­duct for other manu­fac­tu­rers is the star­ting point turn­table for Acoustic Signature.

The Maximus NEO, the succes­sor of the popu­lar Maximus, already per­forms at a level that lea­ves many so-called flag­ships behind!

Special features:

• Quiet AC-motor with external, super stable multi-voltage power supply
• Integrated digital motor controller
• Innovative AVC technology level 1 (Automatic Vibration Control)
• Ultraprecise, extremely rigid and robust DTD® bearing with diamond-coated spindle (Dura Turn Diamond® Bearing)
• New and 30 % larger, resonance-reducing aluminum alloy chassis with aluminum platter
• 3-point setup with special gel-damped feet
• 15-year warranty (with registration)
• Acoustic Signature AVC – Automatic Vibration Control
• Acoustic Signature CLD – Constraint Layer Damping
• Acoustic Signature DTD – Dura Turn Diamond Bearing
• Handmade in Germany

Even our smallest comes with a benchmark bearing design: The new, maintenance-free DTD® bearing with diamond-coated spindle is extremely robust, rigid and ultra-precise.

The integrated AC motor with speed-regulated belt drive is super quiet and is powered by an external, extremely stable multi-voltage power supply. Our innovative AVC technology is also used in the Maximus NEO

Purist design

The control panel is harmo­niously inte­grated into the chassis and controls the precise digital motor elec­tro­nics of the Maximus NEO.

Resonance-reducing chassis design

The chassis is based on our unique CLD techno­logy and is rea­lized with special alu­minum alloys in the Maximus NEO. The 3-point suspen­sion with the gel-damped feet specially deve­loped by Acoustic Signa­ture ensures optimum decoupling

Maximus NEO review on AnalogPlanet 01/2023

Its a well-built machine thats dead-quiet, fast off the mark, super-resol­ving, and uber-lively. In short, its a maxi­mally great turn­table well worth checking out. Gut gemacht!

Maximus NEO, TA-1000 NEO and MCX3 in Absolute Sound 09/2022

A turn­table is all about spin­ning vinyl with speed accu­racy and minimal bearing chatter. The Maximus NEO does an excel­lent job of that.

Maximus NEO test report in Stereo 07/2021

The southern German analog specia­list presents a turn­table that has a thought-out design down to the smal­lest aspects and is manu­fac­tured exqui­sitely. The dyna­mically grip­ping and at the same time finely differen­tiated sound with compact, accu­rately ordered spatial imaging corres­ponds to the flawless finish in its finesse.
