The Merlin NEO is the successor to the legen­dary Merlin from 2016. We are now respon­ding to the many requests we’ve received over the years for a suc­cessor to the Merlin with the Merlin NEO: The affor­dable price and sensa­tional perfor­mance remain the same – every­thing else has been updated with our latest techno­logical inno­vations!

Acoustic Signa­ture’s CLD philo­sophy ensures that the three-piece mass drive, crafted from a “soft” alumi­num alloy, offers minimal surface area for vibra­tions to take hold – creating ideal opera­ting condi­tions for the latest itera­tion of our award-winning TA-500 NEO. The reso­nance-reducing design is effec­tively suppor­ted by a bitumen-damped aluminum platter and an external motor block with a fully isolated motor, which houses our reliable digital control elec­tro­nics. Of course, the Merlin NEO features our legen­dary, main­tenance-free DTD®-bearing and, in addi­tion, a Level 1 imple­men­tation of Acoustic Signa­ture’s Automatic Vibra­tion Control. We are very proud of our new “Every­body’s Darling”: The Acoustic Signa­tureMerlin NEO not only lives up to its prede­cessor – it actually outper­forms it in every way!
