New ZEN series models NG inspired
Drawing upon the finest trickled-down elements of STATEMENT NG whilst bringing several innovations, the new ZEN NG and ZENith NG extend the existing ZEN
series with new higher-end NG versions, offering a dramatic step forward in performance and versatility, complementing the successful Mk3 generation.
“The new ZEN NG and ZENith NG introduce our new electronics and software platform with innovations such as the PreciseAudio mainboard, NGaN regulation
module and Sense 3. These are the result of almost 3 years of intense Research and Development, offering the most dramatic step forward in sound realism and
versatility we've ever done in 3 generations of ZEN Music Servers. Come and have a listen, I'm confident you'll find them a revelation”
, Nuno Vitorino, Co-founder and R&D Director.
The PreciseAudio mainboard is extensively customised and tuned for low processor latency and minimizing operating power noise. It’s powered by the new Innuos
NGaN regulation module, significantly reducing power supply impedance and heat inside the case while maintaining an ultra-low level of power noise. Both are the
result of almost 3 years of Research and Development.
Other features include the new Expandable Storage Management System (XSM) supporting up to 16TB of seamless internal storage and upgradeable Digital Output
Modules such as the PhoenixUSB Lite. Both ZEN NG and ZENith NG are enclosed in a high-precision 10mm thick CNC-machined aluminium chassis, bead-blasted
and anodised in either silver or black.
The ZEN NG features an improved NGaN-regulated RECAP2 Power Supply, a processor with 4 physical + 4 virtual cores paired with 16GB of low-noise industrial-
grade DDR4 RAM and a 3D TLC SSD for Sense 3.
Recommended retail price for ZEN NG starts from € 9 500 or USD 12 000 + tax
The ZENith NG further elevates audio and processing performance with NGaN-regulated ARC6 power supply with active rectification and over 130000uF of Mundorf
capacitors, as well as an 8 physical core processor for AudioCore. This is complemented by the use of a pSLC SSD for Sense 3, ensuring ultra-low noise operation and
extended durability.
Recommended retail price for ZENith NG starts from € 15 000 or USD 18 900 + tax
Following Innuos' philosophy to provide upgrade paths whenever possible, the new ZEN NG is upgradeable to a ZENith NG.
The ZEN NG and ZENith NG models will be available in early Q3 this year.
