The Encore 225 is a complete audio solution allowing you to keep all your music in one place. It accepts almost any conceivable analogue or digital audio source. It is also compatible with many network speakers, such as Sonos. There is a very clear, large, high resolution full colour display so you can see what’s going on.

The Encore is easy and intuitive to use. It has 225 watts per channel and a huge range of facilities;

3 analog inputs, 4 digital inputs, 4 USB A connections (one of which has high current capacity

for charging phones and tablets), network connectivity, high quality headphone amplifier, fixed and variable line level outputs as well

as a digital output. The Encore has an inbuilt CD player and

upgradeable 1TB hard disk drive for storage – enough for over 2500 CDs.

The heart of the Encore is a powerful dual core 64 bit Intel CPU with 2GB of RAM.
