ASM-6-3-SP

Description

The Authentic Stereo Monitor ASM 6-3 SP is the first product to offer a pleasant and authentic sound experience with the unique amoenus verus (loudspeaker) and amoenus externus (headphone playback) algorithms.

Despite the small dimensions, the ASM 6-3 SP fulfills the highest audiophile requirements (see Specifications).
Developed and produced in Switzerland, the high-quality components guarantee a long live and trouble-free use.

Thanks to the numerous digital and analog audio inputs, its small size and the robust design, the ASM 6-3 SP can be used in a variety of applications.
With the four different digital inputs, virtually any sound source with a digital stereo output can be applied.
The two analogue inputs offer a high-quality analog to digital conversion and thus integrate older, analogue devices into the system.

The internal signal processing operates at 88.2 kS/s with 24 bit resolution, and guarantees a frequency response well beyond the hearing range of 20 kHz.

The three outputs offer many possibilities:
The high-quality, low-impedance headphone amplifier is suitable for almost every headphone type. Despite the high power reserves the amplifier has an extremely low noise level.
With the line output, the ASM 6-3 SP can be easily integrated into an existing stereo system.
The volume of the balanced XLR output is adjusted with the volume control and is therefore especially suitable for the use of active loudspeakers.

The power supply is usable worldwide and consumes less than 0.075 W when the ASM 6-3 SP is switched off.

The device can be tested and purchased at the following shops:

Klangwerk in Zürich (CH)

Rhapsody in Attenschwiller (FR)

Hautement recommandable, je peux dire que l’ASM 6.3 SP change la vie !
