Acoustic Signature Analog One MKIII • a 5 cm thick turntable platter made of aluminium, and a 8 cm solid aluminium chassis which also carries all attachments, form the base of this turntable • with 3 adjustable feet the overall turntable can be adjusted • the platter is made of a very soft alloy to optimize its periodic resonance and is coated on the rear side with resonance-reducing material • the bearing is the heart of any turntable and complex research and development allowed Acoustic Signature to invent a bearing which unites exact fit, lack of noise, low friction and long term stability • the platter axle consists of a hardened special steel, which is polished • at the end of the axle an extremely hard tungsten carbide ball is mounted, perfectly matched to the divided bushes from sinter bronze, they are aged, self-lubricating and therefore maintenance free • as bearing bottom Acoustic Signature uses the High Tech material TIDORFOLON, the bearing runs dry - without oil • the external drive motor of the turntable is run by its own electronic control • the Alpha 2 then uses the DC current and its own built in precision oscillator to produce a perfectly clean sine wave of 24V, this perfect output wave is then used to power the motor, resulting in a clean, steady spin • the Alpha 2 is impervious to the negative effects household and computer appliances can have on a turntable drive, fluctuations are reduced with this solution • the shear mass of the platter with its inertia is an integral part of the turntable concept • minimum amount of bearing friction, complex drive control and large inertia guarantee perfect synchronization • the tonearm mounting plates are adjustable and the mounting of any desired tonearm is possible, with a maximum of 3 tonearm mounting plates on one turntable • highest precision and manufacturing in Germany guarantee reliability and the perfect function of this turntable • to make sure that every Analog One MKIII is exactly the same Acoustic Signature produce nearly every part on computer controlled CNC machines • total weight 33 to 40kg depending on configuration • the Acoustic Signature Analog One MkIII can be auditioned by appointment in combination with a Jelco ST-250 tone-arm and Grado Statement Sonata cartridge • prices from € 6.999,-
