Cyrus launches Cyruslink Range of Hard Disc Server System Products

Hi Fi specialist Cyrus Electronics is about to launch a group of state-of-the-art hard disc server system products. These will be able to beam music wirelessly around a home, controlled by a hand-held touch-screen panel. The range will be known as Cyruslink.

The Cyruslink range includes three main components: Linkserver, Linkport and Linkwand. At the heart of the system is a high-performance multi-room enabled Hard Disc server called Linkserver. Users can play back music in many remote zones via client units called Linkports, streaming the music digitally from the main server. Controlling all of this is Linkwand, a new software product also compatible with the established range of Hi-Fi and AV system components.

Linkserver

The upgradeable Linkserver includes Cyrus' highly regarded Q DAC technology and a Hard Disc providing massive media storage capability. Linkserver can store over 4,000 CDs using MP3 or an amazing 400 uncompressed CDs for the maximum audio performance. That's 40,000 tracks lasting over 4,000 hours before you hear the same track again! Linkserver also controls four wired zones plus six Linkport music centres. The Linkserver can integrate with the wide range of Cyrus Audio and AV components and can even play audio sources in a remote zone.

Linkport

Compact Cyrus music centre components called Linkports are installed around the home. These Linkports can use Ethernet or wireless connection to the main server and offer RDS and Internet radio, an upgradeable power amp and a large screen to allow easy access to media stored on the Linkserver.

Linkwand

Uniquely, the whole system can be controlled through new, wireless, touch-panel control software called Linkwand. Linkwand is a software system compatible with the latest generation of Windows CE compatible PDAs and webpads. Simply touch the icons on the screen to control the media library on the server, multi-room settings and all the Cyrus audio components. You can even view the cover art of the album, chosen from the server's massive disc library.
