English Controlling your KNEKT System

Technical Details

KNEKT ensures quality sound throughout the home by utilising full volume, line-level, balanced audio distribution.

Line-level transmission

The KNEKT system amplifies the sound locally, which means that the signal is carried from the Main system to the other rooms at line level, rather than loudspeaker level. This makes sure that no drop in quality occurs (loudspeaker- level signals require very expensive and bulky cable and experience significant drop in quality over longer distances). Line-level transmission also makes it possible to feed in local sources, such as television sound, in each room. As well as providing superior sound quality, it means that low-cost, discreet cabling can be used.

Full volume transmission

In the KNEKT multi-room system the audio signals are always distributed at full line level and the volume is controlled at the destination. This optimises the signal-to-noise ratio and improves the dynamic range.

Balanced line

This method of cabling was developed to make sure that source signals maintain their quality even when they have to travel over a long distance.

In balanced line wiring, two wires are used to carry the signal – effectively the music signal is inverted (a mirror image is created) and both the inverted and un-inverted signals are carried along separate wires. When the two signals reach their destination, they are re-combined into a single music signal.

Any noise that was picked up long the way is eradicated as noise(+) cancels out noise(-), leaving only a clean, high-quality music signal.
