INVICTUS JR. NEO
Four-Motor Reference Turntable — Invictus Jr. NEO Delivers Flagship Performance at Human Scale
Description ⌄
Acoustic Signature Invictus Jr. NEO — statement turntable in Silver/Black. The Invictus Jr. NEO delivers the core engineering DNA of the flagship Invictus in a slightly more manageable form — 108 kg of machined aluminum, four symmetrical AC motors, and the same 16.5 kg sandwich platter bearing 48 Silencer modules as its larger sibling. The DTD diamond-coated bearing spindle and external DMC-20 AVC Level 3 motor controller ensure speed stability that rivals any turntable at any price. Like the flagship, it accepts up to four tonearms, making it the preferred choice for audiophiles who want a true multi-arm reference without committing to the full Invictus footprint.
Technical background
The Invictus Jr. NEO uses four symmetrically arranged motors — one fewer than the full Invictus but identical in topology and control — with the same 16.5 kg aluminium/brass sandwich platter and 48 silencer modules. DTD bearing, DMC-20 AVC Level 3 controller, and up to four tonearm positions are shared with the flagship.
Design story
The Invictus Jr. NEO was created as the accessible entry to Invictus-class performance — sharing every fundamental technology with the Invictus NEO but in a slightly more compact chassis that is practical for a broader range of listening rooms and equipment racks.
Best for
Near-flagship reference listeners; multi-arm analogue enthusiasts; those who want Invictus-level performance in a slightly more compact chassis Serious reference analogue collectors; audiophiles wanting Invictus-level engineering at a more accessible price; dealers building a high-end demonstration Reference analogue front-end; large dedicated listening room; statement system anchor
