Katalyst: Digital to analogue technology

Katalyst technology from Linn allows you to gain a deeper insight into your music. The idea of Katalyst DAC Architecture, launched by Linn in 2016, is to perform digital to analogue conversion with more precision than Linn technology has ever had before. Many Linn customers will probably think it impossible for Linn to improve their technology since Linn offers a standard of music like no other. However, Linn’s Katalyst technology offers immense excitement, controversially moving to analogue technology at a time when the world is heading digital. Katalyst Technology from Linn So, how exactly is Katalyst improving what Linn sound systems can offer? Take a look at the 5 major improvements offered by Linn’s digital to analogue technology. Reference Level Katalyst now offers a stable, reference level voltage that does not vary in amplitude, for a solid and steady sound. Independent Power Supplies Katalyst technology runs off independent power supplies which eliminates distortion and disturbed sound. Data Optimisation Linn’s Katalyst technology includes Linn’s very own data optimisation stage that prepares digital signals for totally accurate transformation into analogue systems. This means that from a very early stage in the transformation process, data is extremely accurate. Master Clock The master clock featured with Linn’s Katalyst technology is tuned for the most accurate timing yet. Output Driver Linn’s Katalyst technology includes a new ultra-low distortion analogue output driver which allows delicate analogue signals to be transmitted out of a device. This means that the sound is far less likely to be distorted on output. Improving sound quality with Linn The 5 major improvements to Linn’s sound technology means that the recently launched Katalyst DAC Architecture produces a much clearer sound, suffering less from distortion. The aim of the Katalyst technology is to transform digital signals into analogue signals, treating them delicately, in order to transmit the analogue sounds without interference and sound issues. For some, these distortions would have been minor from the outset, however, Linn strive for perfection in their sound systems. Without Katalyst, a sound system can produce a slightly flawed analogue system and lead to minor distortions in sound. With Katalyst, however, errors are removed from the inputs and outputs, resulting in a much more precise, less distorted sound. Upgrade to Katalyst with Rococo Systems Katalyst DAC Architecture is now featured in the Klimax DS and Klimax DSM Linn sound systems. If you would like to upgrade to Katalyst DAC Architecture, or would simply like to find out more about our home entertainment systems, then please get in touch with Rococo Systems.

Home Cinema Installation in London for Unique Family Homes

Our home cinema installation in London will make dreams a reality!

Posted by rococosystems in General News, Home cinema

The home cinema installation and design service we offer to London customers of Rococo Systems goes above and beyond providing you with a personal cinema to enjoy at home. For example, we can create your dream room or space indoors or outdoors, build a discrete, hidden cinema, and even install a lighting system to suit your mood and surroundings. As well as allowing you and your family and friends to get comfortable with the latest movies and TV shows, our home cinemas let you take advantage of the most up-to-date streaming technology from Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Sky Q. Many of these streaming services offer exclusive shows and films that you won’t find anywhere else. So, imagine how popular you’ll be with your friends and neighbours if they can pop round to catch up with the latest box sets, movies, and more in a sumptuously comfortable and professionally-designed setting. Why choose Rococo Systems for London home cinema installation? Experience A key reason why you choose Rococo Systems to carry out your home cinema installation or design you a bespoke system if you live in London is our vast experience. We’ve been helping customers across the capital (and Essex) bring their dream home cinemas to life for over twenty years. Plus, because we know how important it is to keep up-to-speed with the very latest technologies, our talented home cinema installation and design team can give you expert advice on how to get the best installation for your budget. A bespoke service Off-the-shelf home cinemas may seem a sensible option if you’ve a fixed budget to stick to or are pressed for time. However, as many purchasers have quickly discovered, these ready-made packages often results in disappointment. To begin with, they’re not designed with your home and needs in mind. Instead, they’re often created with low-quality and hence budget-friendly components and designed to suit an average UK household. As a London resident, you can appreciate how diverse properties across the capital can be, and what works for a one-bedroom flat in Greenwich doesn’t necessary suit a six-bed detached house in Belgravia. This is why good design and planning are essential when it comes to creating home cinemas that delight viewers year after year. We can demonstrate and advise on an extensive selection of systems, speakers, mounts, control options, and other accessories from top manufacturers like JVC, Sonance, Future Automation, Anthem, and SIM2, And, if you’d like us to, we can work alongside your builder, architect, interior design and/or cabinet maker to produce a bespoke home cinema system that’s both unique and ideally suited to you and your home. Make your home cinema fantasy a reality today If you’d like to discuss your home cinema installation needs in more detail, give Rococo Systems a call today on 020 7454 1234, and our London team will be pleased to assist you. Alternatively, you can complete our online contact form, which allows you to tell us about your room type (e.g. multi-purpose or dedicated), room size, project status (e.g. existing upgrade or new build under construction), and existing equipment, and even upload plans or photographs to give us the best possible picture of how you envisage your home cinema should look and perform.

Home Cinema Installation in Essex Unique to You and your Family Home

Posted by rococosystems in General News, Home cinema

These days, you don’t need a set-top box, satellite dish or cable TV to be able to enjoy the newest television series and box office movies. Instead, you can sit back and relax with your friends and family at home (or even outdoors on the patio) and take advantage of the newest streaming technology from Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Sky Q. However, with the constant improvements in graphics quality, it doesn’t make sense to gather everyone into a small space to watch your chosen programme or film when you can stretch out and see everything on the big screen instead, complete with superior surround sound. This is where Rococo Systems can help by installing your dream home cinema system. We’ve got over two decades of experience in home cinema installation throughout Essex and, as we don’t believe that one size fits all, we can even design you a bespoke system that fits your needs to a tee. The way we view TV and films is changing Not everyone wants to head to the cinema to watch films, particularly now that the 21st century has brought us flat-screen TVs of up to 110 inches that can be wall-mounted, placed on a traditional TV stand or even discretely concealed within a cupboard or recess until you want to use it. The prices of televisions and surround sound systems have also significantly dropped due to the ever-changing nature and competitiveness of the home electronics industry. However, as many people have found out the hard way, installing your own home cinema isn’t as easy as it looks. Plus, the typical off-the-shelf systems you find in electrical retailer chains aren’t uniquely tailored to suit particular rooms in your home. Instead, they’re mass-produced on large assembly lines, and often lack top-quality components. Essex Home cinema installation and design – for a superb and unique viewing experience What’s different about Rococo Systems is that we offer a comprehensive home cinema installation service to customers across the Essex area, using leading brands to create the perfect set-up for your living room, lounge, bedroom or even garden. As home cinema installation experts, we can help guide you through the process of creating the perfect cinema system by demonstrating and advising you on the latest technologies and control options. When you visit Rococo Systems in our Essex store in Ongar, one of our experienced members of staff will give you as much time as you require to understand and clarify your requirements, and provide you with as many suitable options as possible to fit within your budget. We also offer a design service where we can work alongside your builders, architect, interior designer or cabinet maker to create you a custom-made cinema theatre that will enable you to relax and enjoy watching movies with your friends and family exactly the way you want to. Our home cinema installation team has created a variety of set-ups for our clients in Essex over the years, from dedicated home cinemas boasting giant screens, comfy seats, and superior sound systems, and concealed home cinemas, where both the screen and projector are concealed inside the wall or ceiling, to outdoor cinemas that give the wow factor to patios, terraces, and gardens. Plus, our design team are dab hands at creating lighting systems which add the finishing touch to your home cinema and provide the perfect mood for every occasion.

Linn Sekrit DSM – Designed to be Heard not Seen

Posted by maryrococo in General News, Linn
No Comments

Back in February 2016, we showcased four of the five music players in the Linn DSM range. After looking in close detail at the outstanding streaming capacity of the Klimax DSM, the sleek and stunning Akurate DSM system, the budget-friendly yet powerful Sneaky DSM, and the premium music and movie experience provided by the Magik DSM, it’s now time to take a look at Linn’s final offering in the range – the Sekrit DSM. The Sekrit DSM – slim and powerful with superior sound quality Everything you’ve come to expect from Linn DSM products is incorporated in the Linn Sekrit DSM. It includes a DSM player, a 50-watt cool-running Class D stereo power amp, and an integrated pre-amp, all of which are housed within a compact, simple package. Because it hides its powerful features so well, it easily blends in with its surroundings rather than steals the limelight. In a nutshell, Sekrit gives you everything you need to make all of your home entertainment sources sound better than ever before. The system has six digital and analogue inputs, including three HDMI connections and speaker connections for two zones, and enables you to play movies, music, radio, TV, games, and online sources such as Spotify, YouTube, and Netflix. Plus, it also supports AirPlay. You can even install your system alongside any Linn DS player on your home network, and by taking advantage of Linn’s Songcast software, you can choose to play the same music, radio, TV channel, DVD or Blu-Ray in both rooms or something different everywhere. Linn DS Multi-Room Linn DS Multi-Room allows you to adapt your music system as your needs (or home) change. This means you can upgrade your system’s performance and add extra rooms as necessary without having to start from scratch. The Sekrit DSM works particularly well with Sekrit IW10 In-Wall Loudspeakers, which deliver exceptional audio performance, and are perfect for rooms where you want the sole focus to be the sound around you. Sekrit IW10 In-Wall Loudspeakers can be mounted vertically or horizontally, and are designed to be installed flush to the wall. The grilles can also be painted to match or complement the décor of any room. Space Optimisation Linn’s Space Optimisation technology comes as standard with the Sekrit DSM, which means that the individual characteristics of the room and the objects within it won’t adversely affect the sound quality. Space Optimisation allows the DSM system to create a virtual picture of the room’s layout and consequently reduce any frequencies that can cause artificial distortion. The result? A super-smooth and pitch-perfect audio performance. Request a demonstration in London or Essex Rococo Systems has two UK stores – one in Ongar, Essex and the other in Danbury Street in North London. If you live in either London or Essex or are planning to visit the area and would like a personal demonstration of the Sekrit DSM by one of our in-house Linn experts in our purpose-built Linn Lounges, request a demo online today or give us a call on 020 7454 1234 (London) or 01277 890 888 (Essex).

Enjoy Crystal-Clear Sound Quality with Linn Krystal Cartridges

Posted by maryrococo in General News, Linn, Turntables
No Comments

Top-quality audio products take time to produce, as do the best pieces of music. So, it’s only natural that it took the world’s leading hi-fi and audio manufacturer, Linn, two years to develop its groundbreaking Krystal moving coil cartridge. Hear every musical detail with Linn Krystal Cartridges For more than thirty years, the Linn Sondek LP12 has been the turntable of choice of vinyl Audiophile fans. Here at Rococo Systems, we’ve been selling Linn’s hi-fi systems for almost as long, and the LP12 is still one of the most popular turntables among our customers in London and Essex. Thanks to our vast experience and knowledge of Linn products, we are able to upgrade, service or repair any LP12 turntable regardless of its age. And, as most turntable owners know very well, one of the simplest ways to give your system a new lease of life is to replace or upgrade its cartridge. When it comes to the quality of audio playback, your choice of cartridge is just as vital as the turntable, amp, and loudspeakers that you play your music through. Traditionally, cartridges fall into two different categories – Moving Coil (MC) and Moving Magnet (MM). Moving Coil is a more recent invention, but not all MC cartridges deliver superior sound quality. This is because cheap or inferior cartridges simply can’t compete with the power and design of the Linn Krystal cartridge. Rococo Systems sell a number of Linn’s MM and MC turntable cartridges, including Adikt, Kandid, and Klyde, and the Krystal has just been added to our range. Kandid versus Krystal Kandid is known as being one of the best-sounding turntable cartridges Linn’s ever made. So, it’s no surprise that Linn has taken the core design principles of the Kandid moving coil cartridge to create the Krystal MC. This means that just like the Kandid, Krystal captures every tiny change in the record groove, allowing you to hear every musical detail. Krystal’s nude design results in less inertia, allowing it to react more quickly to the changes in the record groove. It also boasts a triple-point mounting system that allows for a firm connection to the tonearm headshell, an aircraft-grade 7075 aluminium chassis to provide the generator with a stable yet lightweight platform, and is constructed using special adhesive that minimises any dampening effects. You can experience Krystal’s pure, clean, and perfect sound by purchasing it as part of an Akurate LP12 turntable or specifying it on your order when you buy a Majik or Sondek LP12 turntable. And, should you need any further convincing of how Krystal can transport your turntable to hi-fi heaven, we’d be more than happy to treat you to a free-of-charge demonstration in one of our purpose-built Linn lounges in our London or Essex store. Simply visit our Book a Demo page to make an appointment or give our experts a call on 020 7454 1234 (London) or 01277 890 888 (Essex) today. We also stock a vast range of Linn’s turntable accessories, including cartridges, sub chassis and base boards, tonearms, power supplies, drive belts, hinges, felt mats, and 45 RPM adapters, which you can buy online or in-store.

Rako gives you the option to retrospectively install wired, wireless or combination systems in any room using a variety of modules depending on your preference. For example, you may wish to use LEDs in one area, low-voltage in another, and incandescent in a third. Home Lighting Controls for Security Of course, home lighting controls don’t just make your life easier, and your home appear more inviting. They can also help with security. Rako makes a range of wireless and non-wireless accessories to suit your every need. Products like the TCM time-clock can automatically activate lights in your chosen area at dusk, run a sequence, or simulate your normal lighting pattern when you’re away on holiday. Access your Lighting from Anywhere in the World Rako has created handy mobile apps for iPhone/iPad and Android users. They allow you to take full control of your Rako lighting system when you’re at home using your local area network or when you’re at the office, on holiday, or on the train via the internet.
