Now in stock the new 3D Blu Ray Player from Panasonic at Rayleigh Hi-Fi

Panasonic 3D Blu Ray

The processing performance is improved to support the frame sequential method used in Full HD 3D. It faithfully reproduces the original image quality of 3D movies.

PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus is a high quality image-processing technology developed by Panasonic to precisely process each pixel of the Blu-ray DiscTM video signal in the vertical direction. It reproduces colour data with twice the accuracy of conventional systems to keep colours faithful and sharp.

High precision 4:4:4 which reproduce the colour signals in horizontal directions with higher resolution have now further advanced. Not only faithfully reproduce details of Full HD movies in 1080p as filmmakers intended, concert and documentary films saved in 1080i are now reproduced with greater details than ever before.

P4HD processes more than 15 billion pixels per second and applies the optimal processing to every pixel. This allows it to render DVD movies in 1080p quality, express motion smoothly, and draw crisp diagonal lines.

One output can be dedicated to an audio signal output. The twin HDMI gives better sound quality and matches the needs of the users to have the customised cinema system with their legacy* audio equipments. * Legacy referring to audio system incompatible to 3D content.

Priced at an AMAZING £399

The rDac offers supreme audio quality for the most demanding music lover. Housed in a slender, precision casted case the rDac offers an ideal upgrade for conventional sources and network audio products alike.

Arcam rDac

PCs and Mac computers running music programs such as iTunes® or Windows Media Player can feed the rDac via its USB input where special re-clocking circuitry has been deployed almost eliminating the jitter (timing inaccuracies) and noise usually associated with music in the computer environment.

Priced at ONLY £299.

Naim Audio have this week launched their new Wireless Multi-Room Audio System, The Naim Unity System.

The increasing popularity of audio streaming around the home has led to the development of wireless multi-room systems that put streaming at the centre of their offerings. UnitiSystem is the first system of its kind to be introduced by an audiophile brand, bringing genuine high fidelity audio to the wireless multi-room arena.

Naim Unity System

UnitiSystem is the multi-room system that the Uniti family of products form when used together. The Uniti family is the UnitiServe hard disk player / server and the award winning NaimUniti and UnitiQute all-in-one audio players.

UnitiSystem is based on the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) standard; an open standard which enables any UPnP-enabled devices to talk to one another. Streaming is at the heart of UnitiSystem with the Uniti players able to stream from the UnitiServe and other any UPnP server-enabled device on the network, such as a PC, laptop or NAS drive, enabling convenient access to network-stored music from multiple locations around the home.

Naim’s first ever plug n play multi-room system caters for those who want multi-room audio only and prefer a wireless solution over a custom-installed one. For those who want a more comprehensive multi-room solution there is NaimNet, Naim’s custominstalled system which can also be integrated with a whole home control system.

UnitiSystem users will benefit from putting UnitiServe – the ultimate library for the music fan – at the centre of their system; one high-end component within their home devoted solely to the ripping, cataloguing, storage and distribution of their music collection. UnitiServe rips their music collection at full CD-quality and catalogued to track level (using Naim’s Extended Music Database. Naim’s Extended Music Database facilitates easy browsing and searching, enabling the user to drill down to a high level of detail, such as artist, performer or composer – especially useful for lovers of classical music.

UnitiSystem will enable the replay of all available music within the home. The UnitiServe will scan the home network for all available music and serve this to the network connected streaming NaimUniti and UnitiQute players, bringing together all music stored in multiple locations around the home, including that stored on the UnitiServe’s internal hard drive.

  The new Loewe Individual TV 

The Neat Motive SE-2 due to arrive with us in June caused a real stir at the recent Bristol show where there were astonished faces as the tiny SE-2s filled the room with a full range performance that completely belied their understated appearance.

With little apparent change from its brother the most obvious change is with the tweeter, with the inclusion of the EMIT planar/ribbon type tweeter, which replaces the inverted titanium dome used in the standard Motive 2. This new version of the EMIT device is compliantly mounted to provide isolation from cabinet vibration effects. With its extended frequency response and natural representation of tonal colour, it helps to elevate performance far beyond what one might expect from such a diminutive and domestically acceptable enclosure. 

Internally, the cabinet includes additional bracing and damping, and is divided into discrete volumes. The tweeter is housed in a dedicated section to isolate it from the back pressure developed by the main LF/Midrange drive unit. This main drive unit now operates in a smaller internal volume than previously. The downward firing reflex port has been retuned accordingly. This brings tighter bass, with better all-round control. The Motive SE2 also delivers higher SPLs when required.

Bowers & Wilkins MM-1

From user to listener
MM-1s aren’t like other computer speakers. They’re true hi-fi speakers, shrunk to fit on your desktop. So they don’t just look great – they sound amazing, transforming your computer into a superb hi-fi stereo sound system. But then you’d expect nothing less from the makers of the award-winning Zeppelin iPod speaker, not to mention some of the most advanced studio speakers in the world.

Hi-Fi sound on your computer
Once they were for filling out spreadsheets and typing letters. Now computers are used for almost everything: socialising, playing games, listening to music, watching videos. So it seems a shame that deskbound entertainment fans have always had to make do with sub-standard audio, either from a computer’s built-in speakers or poor quality monitors. No longer. MM-1 brings true hi-fi quality sound to your desktop for the first time, giving your computer the audio it deserves.

Ready for anything
Your computer is a versatile performer, happy to swap between many roles. So it makes sense that your computer speakers are just as versatile. Elegant connectivity and intuitive, intelligent design features help make sure that the MM-1 is ready for practically anything.

Thanks to MM-1’s ergonomic, pebble-shaped remote, you’ll have complete control over your speakers, as well as iTunes or Windows Media Player, from anywhere in the room.
Powerful bass is important for movies and games and it’s something MM-1 delivers in spades, thanks to Dynamic EQ technology that maximises bass output. So no need for a separate subwoofer.
You might be a Mac purist or a PC fanatic, but MM-1 speakers hold no such prejudices – it will perform equally well with both.
Computer speakers normally have to rely on the wildly varying quality of the computer’s analogue output signal. MM-1 is different. It streams audio directly from your computer via USB and converts the signal from digital to analogue internally. So you’ll always get the best possible audio quality, independent of the computer output.
Most computer speakers have to make do with just one drive unit to handle the full spectrum of frequencies. Not so with the MM-1. Just like a full-size speaker, it has two drivers, one dedicated to bass and midrange frequencies and another for the treble. So there’s a reason why MM-1 reproduces sound with the accuracy of a true hi-fi speaker: that’s exactly what it is
