Innuos Nazare has been announced - the flagship music server from the famous audio brand. Named after the underwater canyon, the model promises a significant increase in performance and assumes easy capacity expansion by adding individual Nazare Flow units.
The Innuos Nazare case is made using the proprietary SmartStack technology and is equipped with upgraded anti-vibration dampers developed jointly with TONEO. The servers also received IsoAcoustics supports.
Innuos Nazare is based on the proprietary Sense 3.3 software platform. The basic version of the server is offered for 15,000 euros.

The Monitor Audio company has provided the seventh generation of the Bronze series - Bronze 7G, which includes five models of acoustic systems. Let us remind you that the first Monitor Audio Bronze loudspeakers entered the market in 1999.
The recently announced OePhi Lounge 2 and OePhi Lounge 2.5 speaker systems have gone on sale. The first model is designed as a bookshelf speaker and is aimed at small rooms, while the larger second speaker (made in a 2.5-way scheme), made in a floor-standing form factor, easily works even in large rooms.
Pro-Ject has released an entry-level headphone amplifier model - Pro-Ject Head Box E is available for 119 euros, and the small dimensions of the model allow you to easily place the device even on a heavily cluttered table.
Vandersteen Audio has introduced an upgrade of the famous Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT acoustic systems — the new speakers are called Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Evo. Traditionally for the company, a scheme with active subwoofer sections in each speaker is used here. The acoustics has a stable impedance of 8 Ohms, but a rather low sensitivity of 87 dB — so, for operation, an amplification of 40 to 200 W is required.
Topping has released a truly powerful headphone amplifier – the Topping A900 model develops 2 x 22 W of power into a 16 Ohm load and achieves revolutionary performance – a dynamic range of 151 dB, a signal-to-noise ratio of 151 dB, and a THD+N distortion level across the entire frequency band (90 kHz BW) of 0.00003%!
