When planning the TA-5000 NEO, one thought was at the forefront: to develop a tonearm at a fair price that has virtually no limitations.
To realize this, it was necessary to break new ground. High-precision hybrid ball bearings made of ceramic and stainless steel, 3 layers of carbon, connected via special damping elements with 2 tonearm tubes lying one inside the other, an internal cabling made of high-purity silver and our typical benchmark manufacturing quality culminate in an innovative tonearm that is always up against the best of its guild.
An absolute class leading arm
The TA5000 NEO comes with an unbeatable price-perfomance ratio and is therefore an optimal partner for all top turntables of course should be the first choice for the turntables of Acoustic Signature.
Thought out down to the smallest detail
The cranked, low-resonance headshell is engineered to connect to the TA5000 NEOs triple-layer armtube with perfect synergy the perfect docking station for top-of-the-line cartridges!
Innovative triple layer armtube
The TA-5000 Neo features a highly innovative, extremely rigid tonearm tube made of three layers of carbon, connected by specially designed damping elements.
Innovative hybrid bearing
The high precision ball bearings are of SKF design. These are pre-tensioned and made of ceramic and stainless steel, giving the TA-5000 Neo exceptional control and quite outstanding tracking results.
Finishes
The black finish suits the TA-5000 NEO, matching the dark carbon triple-layer armtube.
It is as well available in in an elegant silver anodized version, in a chrome version and an outstanding 24K gold plated luxury edition.
Thanks to the variety of finishes, it is perfectly matchable to any of the new Acoustic Signature NEO turntables.
