The 2 armbases of the Montana NEO
The Montana NEO is equipped with two adjustable tonearm bases that can accommodate all 9- to 12-inch tonearms thanks to interchangeable armboards.
As standard, one armboard is individually adapted to your tonearm. The second is designed with a closed top that can be easily changed for mounting a second tonearm.
Smoothness & dynamics
The highest level of our Automatic Vibration Control – AVC Level 3 – as well as three fully isolated AC motors and a double-belt driven sub-platter form the basis for the world class performance of the Montana NEO!
Spectacular performance in a compact design
The Montana NEO impresses with its elegant style and compact dimensions that conceal Acoustic Signature’s highly innovative technologies.
Thought out down to the last detail
To save space the control panel of the Montana NEO is integrated into the front left foot of the chassis which blends harmoniously with the design of the turntable.
CLD and Silencer technology
The combination of our unique CLD and Silencer technology is a major contributor to the Montana NEO’s tremendous running smoothness.

Silencer

The brass modules are an attractive feature – but first of all they lead to an excellent damping and resonance absorption.
