Acoustic Signature’s New Australian Home
If you're a consumer looking to purchase a turntable in Australia, you're actually quite fortunate. Via Australia's Hi-Fi distribution industry, virtually all the major brands (and then some) are represented here, and mainstay of the turntable world, Acoustic Signature, has found a home at Radiance Audio Visual.
Considered by many as a fine example of German precision engineering and perfection in the analogue realm, Acoustic Signature's range of turntables, tonearms and vinyl accessories will be available soon via selected Australian retail outlets.
Acoustic Signature has been creating products since 1996. A year later, founder Gunther Frohnhöfer and his team developed their first commercially available turntable and received numerous awards and distinctions in Germany and the U.S. Their clear design and the excellent price-performance-ratio ensured high demand and their turntables are now exported around the world.
Gunther Frohnhöfer told StereoNET:
Today, "Made in Germany" has so much more priority for us as it becomes increasingly popular for manufacturers to purchase parts from the cheapest supplier. Acoustic Signature searches for the best suppliers rather than the cheapest. We continue to strive for perfection, rather than just building the cheapest product. This has always been important to us and is now becoming even more important.
The Acoustic Signature team consists of 15 qualified employees. Among them are goldsmiths, engineers, electrical engineers, precision lathe operators and other specialists.
It is vital to us to continue development while employing the latest manufacturing techniques including CNC technology along with state of the art CAD systems. Our products are still produced and assembled by hand by our specialists at our company headquarters in Göppingen. This approach, and attention to detail ensure we can continue designing and building products that are truly amazing.
In the hands of an established importerr and distributor for the first time in Australia, the future looks bright for Acoustic Signature. Stockist enquiries are welcome.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
