ANALOGUE SOURCES

Where tradition meets the future

The SOUND HUB COMPACT's analogue input is where audiophile tradition meets the future of wireless active Hi-Fi. Using advanced analogue to digital conversion, the SOUND HUB COMPACT converts audio from sources like CD players, turntables and RIAA phono preamplifiers into a high resolution, better-than-CD quality, 24 bit/96 kHz stream for the best possible audio reproduction.

SUBWOOFER OUT

Delivering powerful low-end detail

The SOUND HUB COMPACT includes a volume-controlled, line-level analogue subwoofer output that switches on automatically when a subwoofer is detected. For seamless integration with the rest of the system, the output is low-pass filtered to match the frequency characteristics of the main speakers. Using the optional DALI WSR (Wireless Subwoofer Receiver), the SOUND HUB COMPACT can connect wirelessly to any active subwoofer for a full-range 2.1 stereo system.

"'Fast' is also the right keyword for the transmission, because the latencies of the radio connection are actually rapid at around 15 milliseconds and thus also make an authentic cinema experience in perfect synchronicity possible."

"For me, the fine treble performance, connectivity via the SOUND HUB and overall ease of use really make this speaker special. Feed it with one of any number of wireless sources, and you're away! Add an active subwoofer to match, and this is all the better."
