Elipson’s New Music Centre With HD Playback And Google Chromecast Audio
Elipson has announced the launch of the Music Centre Black edition featuring Bluetooth HD wireless and Google’s Chromecast Audio. Design by Jean-Yves Le Porcher, this new version of their Music Centre has a black satin finish chassis for the circular case, and a touch sensitive user interface under the CD slot.
The circular case hides 2 x 120W class-D amplifier modules using ICE Power technology. A range of connections is specified, including RCA inputs, an optical input, a USB port, a pre-out RCA, 3.5mm mini jack, front facing headphone jack and a SUB output featuring an adjustable filter to cover frequencies between 50 and 200 Hz. As well as the MP3 compliant CD player function, an RDS DAB+ FM tuner is also included.
For wireless connection, this new Music Centre HD Black is also compatible with the latest aptX Bluetooth HD protocol, enabling playback of high-resolution files up to 48 KHz / 24-bit. It works in smart home installation, thanks to the included Chromecast Audio dongle. This allows the user to connect to the receiver via Wi-Fi directly from a smartphone, tablet, or computer. The Chromecast function also allows you to transform your system into a full multi-room solution when using compatible speakers via the Chromecast App. It is available in the UK now at an SRP of £899.
