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.
