The Solo neo is a music system with superb music performance delivered
from its internal CD player, radio tuner and network audio client. It
can play stored music in a multitude of formats and access thousands of
internet radio stations from around the world. With superb audio quality
from highly developed pre and power amplifier stages the Solo neo
offers a high performance, stylish and easy to use package that delivers
music in a way that will thrill any listener.
When Arcam introduced the Solo music system in 2004 it
heralded a new generation of high quality all-in-one music systems with
the original Solo music and later Solo mini redefining the category.
Using more than thirty years experience of audio design Arcam went on to
deliver a complete range of all-in-one systems including the world
renowned Solo movie 5.1 and 2.1 units.
Arcam are proud to introduce the Solo neo, a music system with superb
music performance and network audio capabilities allowing it to play
stored music in a multitude of formats along with its internal CD player
and radio tuner. With improved audio quality from highly developed pre
and power amplifier stages the Solo neo offers a high performance,
stylish and easy to use package that delivers music in a way that will
thrill any listener.
The on-board network music player delivers superb performance from
music stored on local network devices such as personal computers and NAS
drives. It also allows access to the thousands of Internet Radio
stations available when its local network is connected to the Internet.
In addition, its USB port can play music from local devices such as
memory sticks or hard drives while the duplex RS232 connector offers
playback and control of iPods via the optional irDock.
The Solo neo doesn’t sacrifice audio quality for convenience. The
internal 50wpc amplifiers perform superbly with the matching Muso
loudspeakers but are also capable of driving much more demanding
speakers in larger rooms.
