ZENmini S
The new Innuos ZENmini S is based on the popular ZENmini Mk3 music server and streamer. The option of an SSD for the ZENmini has been a highly-requested feature. The ZENmini S replaces the hard drive with an audiophile-grade solid-state drive (SSD) and increases the system RAM from 4GB to 8GB - these new features increase performance and lower noise on an already popular music server/streamer. ZENmini mk2 and mk3 owners will be able to upgrade to the new model in the coming year. The standard ZENmini will continue to be available with a hard drive. ZENmini S will be available for order immediately. Pricing for the ZENmini S is: •
1TB: AUS = $3,190 INC GST
2TB: AUS = $3,490 INC GST
4TB: AUS = $3,990 INC GST
The option of an SSD makes the ZENmini S the quietest and fastest ZENmini available. The ZENmini S is fully compatible with the same optional Linear Power Supply Upgrade (LPSU) that the standard ZENmini uses for even better quality music playback. The ZENmini’s SSD also includes a feature that protects your music library on the SSD in case of an unexpected power loss.
By giving music lovers the choice of the ever- popular ZENmini with a hard drive, or the new ZENmini S with an SSD and more RAM, there’s never been a better time to pick up our gateway Music Server and Streamer. We also made sure people who own the standard ZENmini Mk2 and Mk3 will soon have an upgrade path to the ZENmini S.”
The ZEN Mk3 series of music server / streamers includes ZENmini, ZEN and ZENith, all of which were designed around minimizing power noise, reducing vibration and optimizing firmware.
