The Innuos Zen MKIII Audio Server 2TB HDD simplifies the consumer’s music storage task significantly. This enhancement helps customers store their entire music inventory in one place. And that, too, in HD quality.
Innuos Zen MKIII Audio Server 2TB HDD
The Innuos ZEN MKIII Audio Server, with a 2TB HDD, provides another leap in sound quality compared to the ZENmini. Thanks to its integrated dual-linear PSU, isolated dual Ethernet ports, and asymmetrical anti-vibration feet. The ZEN MKIII represents tremendous value in digital audio performance.
Controlled via the Innuos Sense App
Managing your music should never get in the way of enjoying it – it should enhance the experience. The Innuos Sense app is a powerful music management tool that works the way you do. It’s designed to help you manage, organise, and play your music, as well as navigate streaming services with ease.
Sense is available for free download and tightly integrates with high-end online music services and our in-house developed Innuos Operating System. Delivering optimal music playback.
Dual-Linear Power Supply
The Innuos ZEN MKIII Audio Server 2TB ensures a cleaner digital signal by reducing power noise. Through a dual-linear power supply, designed by Dr. Sean Jacobs, featuring an ultra-low-noise regulator, Nichicon MUSE Capacitors, and a medical-grade mains filter. Your music opens up and reveals new levels of realism.
Custom Motherboard
Our own custom-made Innuos motherboard is completely reworked for optimised audio performance. Sources of EMI have been removed, and internal clocks have been optimised, resulting in a “blacker” music background and enhanced realism.
Ultra-low Noise Streamer Output
Dual Ethernet ports with isolation transformers on the ZEN MKIII audio server provide an ultra-low-noise network connection for your streamer. Removing noise from the path and improving sound quality on all network audio.
Anti-vibration Treatment
New asymmetrical isolation feet, derived from our award-winning ZENith SE Plus, and added chassis treatment help combat harmful vibration that affects a clean audio signal.
In-Memory Playback
Now with twice the memory of the Zen Mk2, the Zen MKIII 2TB features 8GB of RAM with 4GB of dedicated memory. Music is loaded directly into memory for playback, so it doesn’t engage the hard drive, which improves sound quality.
