  • Product Detail
With the new generation of the Inspiration C8 All-In-One CD receiver an old dream of a radically compact but great sounding high end music system finally comes true.  With its breathtaking sound performance on the highest level the C8 leaves the user breathless with its reduced-to-the-max design. The handcrafted and perfectly finished cabinet shows no evidence of assembly screws. Standard versions are aluminum silver or black whilst other finishes are available upon request. A beautifully shaped, rock solid full aluminum remote control is always included. All functions are intuitively accessible. 
 
Technologically the C8 sparks all options for connecting other components. It is also well prepared for I-Pod & Co.. Various Options for Home Automation Controls (i.e. Control4, Crestron etc.) are in place in order to use the C8 in custom installation environments. The power output stages easily handle large loudspeakers and drive them at all volume levels. Cutting edge technology is also applied with the digital signal processing applying AVM proprietary circuitries. All incoming digital signals are converted to 192kHz/24bit and are being processed from this format. The PureCD Slot-in drive is mounted suspended and insulated from footfall and other influences.
