Acoustic Signature DTD® Bearing:
A class of its own!

The bearing is the heart of every turn­table. Although the bea­ring design is of such great impor­tance, its deve­lop­ment – from the view of physics – is often charac­teri­zed by impre­cise to wrong approa­ches. Any conven­tional bearing that is con­fronted with a heavier platter is extremely sensitive in terms of hand­ling. It also faces a mecha­nical chal­lenge that is mainly to be found in the contact area of the thrust plate and bearing ball. In other words: the combi­nation of the high platter weight and the very small ball sur­face causes an enor­mous pres­sure in the very small contact area, which simply pushes the lubri­cating oil away.

The result: too much friction, too much noise, too much vibra­tion and rapid wear. Analo­gists seeking sal­vation in an ‘inver­ted bea­ring’ are mis­gui­ded by a mar­keting trick: the main source of noise within a con­ven­tional bearing design is located at the pivot point of the platter axis and the thrust plate, about 4 inches away from the record. By inver­ting the bearing, this noise source is taken closer to the platter direct below the vinyl surface and thus into the activity area of the cartridge – defi­nitely not a good idea. More­over, this ‘reversal’ causes a veri­table lubri­cation problem thanks to gravity: the oil is floating away at the contact surface.

Tidorfolon® Bearing
Tidorfolon® Bearing

When we intro­duced our Tidor­folon® Bea­ring in 1997, we imme­diately recei­ved enthu­sias­tic feed­back: made of a very inno­vative material com­bi­na­tion, the Tidor­folon® Bearing was hard enough not to be affec­ted by the high mass of the platter and soft enough to with­stand even a ‘dropped’ plate without any damage. Another high­light: the mate­rial mix is able to absorb the oil like a sponge and release it when needed. In other words: the oil cannot be pushed away; the lubri­cation is always there when needed. Refill oil? Not neces­sary! Reple­nish­ment? Not neces­sary! Main­te­nance? Not neces­sary! Audio­philes and the specia­list media world­wide have cele­bra­ted this extre­mely robust and low-noise bearing as a bench­mark-setting innovation.

What’s the improve­ment of the DTD® Bearing: we suc­cee­ded in redu­cing the already imper­cep­tible noise level cau­sed by mecha­nical move­ment even further, thus making the famous back­ground when liste­ning to music even blacker. We achie­ved this by using newly deve­loped sinter-bushes that can store three times the amount of lubri­cating oil. The design of the spindle was also put to the test. Our aim was to mini­mize its surface contact and the resul­ting noise. So, a vacuum-hardened stain­less-steel spindle is grin­ded precisely and then subjec­ted to an elabo­rate plasma coating. The result is a spindle with a dia­mond-like sur­face coa­ting that com­petes with the hardest material on earth and redu­ces the friction coeffi­cient by 60 percent!

15 years warranty

The Dura Turn Diamond® Bearing is a super-rigid and virtually ‘indes­truc­tible’ bea­ring that crea­tes the best possible condi­tions for abso­lute high-end sound and sets news bench­mark in terms of main­te­nance, low noise and service life – backed by a 15-years warranty. The DTD® Bearing is manu­fac­tured for each turn­table in the Acoustic Signa­ture NEO series in an indivi­dual version adap­ted to the respec­tive turn­table.

Acoustic Signature AVC:
The Automatic Vibration Control

Every rotating motor gene­rates vibra­tions. This inevi­table force is trans­mit­ted to the chassis and platter and conse­quently has a nega­tive effect on the sonic per­for­mance of a turn­table. Accor­dingly, it is impor­tant to effec­tively reduce unde­sired vibra­tions or even better prevent them from occur­ring in the first place – so much for the theory.

Automatic Vibration Control AVC
The Hurricane NEO is the entry to the multi motor concept.

Usually, this chal­lenge is addres­sed by a focus on mate­rial selec­tion, special mea­sures for chassis and platter dam­pening, turn­table setup and the design of the entire drive system inclu­ding the motor selec­tion. Due to budget and/or pricing policies, many manu­fac­turers rarely consider a consis­tent combi­nation of all the above mea­sures. Apart from that, each deve­loper will find out sooner or later that all those well-known approa­ches are limited – in terms of effec­tive­ness. The con­cepts for vibra­tion mini­mi­za­tion only work up to a certain degree.

But we wouldn’t be Acoustic Signa­ture if we didn’t go beyond the limits. In addi­tion to our inno­vative Silencer and CLD (Cons­traint Layer Dam­ping) techno­logies, we inven­ted an addi­tional mile­stone to reduce vibra­tions even further:

Acoustic Signa­ture AVC – Automatic Vibra­tion Control!

The vision of an Auto­matic Vibration Control was long born before the plan­ning of our NEO series. During the deve­lop­ment of our new turn­table gene­ration we found it was the right time to bring our ideas to life: The high-quality AC motors that drive our turn­tables are cons­truc­ted with 2 coils and 24 poles. To make the coils rotate, they are fed with a sine wave and a 90° phase-shifted signal. Unfor­tu­nately all AC syn­chro­nous motors show pro­duction-related tole­ran­ces that pre­vent the poles and coils from being posi­tioned one hun­dred per­cent cor­rectly – a key reason for unwan­ted vibra­tions. In order to effec­tively mini­mize or even avoid these, all produc­tion tole­ran­ces must be com­pen­sa­ted by other means.

This is where our AVC techno­logy comes in: It is able to mea­sure the resul­ting distor­tions in real time. Based on those measure­ments, AVC adjusts the phase shifts to the motor signals – also in real time and fully auto­matic! These digitally moni­tored cor­rec­tive mea­sures ensure a drastic reduc­tion of the vibra­tions – an extra effec­tive bene­fit for turn­tables driven by a multi-motor concept.

The sonic gain is so dra­matic that we deci­ded to equip all NEO series turn­tables with that break­through tech­no­logy. Depen­ding on the drive system and the number of motors used, our Auto­matic Vibra­tion Control is imple­men­ted in three confi­gu­ration stages, each with diffe­rent intensity:
AVC Level 1, AVC Level 2 & AVC Level 3.

Automatic Vibration Control
AVC Level 3 on the three motor powered Ascona NEO.

All stages – Level 3 stands for the highest effi­ciency – use diffe­rent soft­ware and hard­ware. In addition, from Level 2 on, the motors are strictly selec­ted and paired to maxi­mize the effect.
