VERONA NEO

Verona NEO high-gloss plinth with 8-silencer platter — Makassar or Black finish; silver or black anodised aluminium. The Verona NEO distinguishes itself within the Acoustic Signature range through its wood-veneer plinth — available in Macassar Ebony or Piano Black — that brings warmth and visual elegance alongside serious engineering. Dual AC motors drive a belt system regulated by the external DMC-20, while the 11 kg platter with 8 Silencer modules and DTD diamond-coated bearing ensure the same low-friction foundation as more expensive AS models. Two tonearm positions give flexibility for multi-cartridge playback. Reviewed by Stereophile in Spin Doctor #13, the Verona NEO was praised as a turntable that achieves reference-level performance while remaining visually at home in any listening room.

Technical background

The Verona NEO uses two motors driving a 11 kg platter with 8 silencer modules in a distinctive Macassar Ebony or Piano Black wood-veneer plinth. The DTD diamond-coated bearing and external DMC-20 motor controller are shared with the full NEO range. Two tonearm positions are available.

Design story

The Verona NEO was designed for audiophiles who refuse to compromise on aesthetics — a turntable that belongs in a living room as much as a dedicated listening space. Its veneer plinth is unique in the AS lineup and was developed specifically for buyers who prioritise visual integration alongside performance.
