Introducing the Meridian Sooloos Control 15
A complete Meridian Sooloos Digital Media System integrating storage, control and playback functions, making the perfect digital source for any hi-fi or music system.
Meridian Audio has announced the introduction of Control 15, which combines the three essential elements of every Meridian Sooloos Digital Media System – storage, playback and control – in a single freestanding device that, when paired with Meridian’s DSP Loudspeakers, forms a complete digital system delivering class leading audio performance and control.
From its instantly responsive 17-inch touch-screen, Control 15 provides immediate access to an entire Meridian Sooloos music collection, and connected to the internet, Control 15 also serves as a simple interface to the vast choice of Internet radio stations and streamed music from Rhapsody (where available).
Control 15 stores around 1000 CD albums in lossless format – along with MP3 versions that can be exported to a personal music player – on an internal 500GB hard drive: enough to satisfy the majority of music enthusiasts. And for larger music collections, one Control 15 can be connected to another Control 15, to additional Meridian Sooloos storage, or further Meridian Sooloos source components, ensuring that a system can grow along with both your music collection and your home.
Control 15 includes an integrated audio renderer featuring the full suite of Meridian’s audio enhancing technologies and delivering pristine quality, high-resolution S/PDIF and SpeakerLink digital audio to any digital music system.
Using SpeakerLink to connect Control 15 to any of Meridian’s DSP Loudspeakers with a single discreet cable allows for simple installation and a variety of methods of system control – from the touch-screen, via a Meridian MSR+ system remote control, or even wirelessly using the Sooloos iPhone/iPad app. Control 15 includes a Compact Disc drive, allowing music to be loaded on to the system direct from a CD.
The Control 15 is available from July 2010 for a suggested retail price of £4,750.00.
