Shanling / EM5SL

The Shanling / EM5 is a multi-functional desktop audio system that also covers streaming playback.

■Return to the roots Shanling was founded in 1988 as an audio manufacturer, and has a history of designing and manufacturing Hi-Fi equipment for home audio. However, in recent years, we have focused on the portable product market and have been manufacturing audio players, earphones, Bluetooth devices, etc. Here, we have returned to our roots and proposed an evolved form of home audio to our newly acquired users. ■Desktop Music Center The EM5 uses Android OS customized for desktop machines as its system, and operates as a standalone audio system without connecting or linking with external devices. You can easily access your music library and various online services without complicated setup. ■Simple and cool The luxurious "gold-plated volume wheel", the intuitive 4.7-inch "touchscreen interface", and the "block diagram" designed on the top panel make a strong appeal that it is a Hi-Fi audio product on your desk. ■Separate power supply system Although it is a complex product that combines a smart device and a stationary audio system, the EM5 divides the power supply into two sections to achieve ideal sound quality. A small, highly efficient toroidal transformer is used for the analog section, and combined with high-performance German-made capacitors, it achieves a clean and smooth sound. In addition, the digital section is powered by a switching power supply with a specially designed voltage stabilization circuit to minimize noise interference. are used. Panasonic polymer tantalum capacitors - These components, which are highly accurate, low distortion and durable, are used in important parts of the circuit. ■2.4G/5G dual-band Wi-Fi Supports two frequency bands, 2.4GHz and 5GHz. By connecting to 5G Wi-Fi, you can enjoy faster communication speeds and improved stability. ■Supports Bluetooth transmission and reception EM5 supports both Bluetooth transmission and reception. As a Bluetooth DAC/AMP, you can enjoy high-quality sound from videos watched on your smartphone, or connect Bluetooth headphones or speakers to enjoy music more easily. (Transmission and reception supported: LDAC, SBC / LHDC, aptX HD, aptX (transmission only)) ■Equipped with network audio player function EM5 supports DLNA and Air Play (reception) standards. Connect to your home network and access your NAS library to enjoy your favorite music right away. ■Companion app By installing the "Eddict Player" app on your smartphone, you can easily control the EM5 remotely without having to operate the EM5 itself. The screen mirroring function allows you to access all functions in the same way as operating the touch display on the main unit. ■4-stage gain adjustment The EM5 has four gain settings. From high-sensitivity IEMs to full-sized headphones that are difficult to drive. One unit can be combined with a variety of devices. ■Equipped with two balanced outputs: XLR4/4.4mm Equipped with two popular balanced output terminals, there is no need to buy a new cable for a balanced connection to match your device. It also has a standard 6.35mm headphone terminal (single-ended), making it perfect for those who are just starting out with Hi-Fi audio. ■Supports MQA files Supports up to 8x MQA decoding, regardless of whether it is played locally or streamed. ■AGLO Technology Shanling's "AGLO Technology" avoids the degradation of sound quality caused by Android SRC and plays the file at the same quality as it is recorded in. ■Air-gap design It uses an "air-gap design" that is compact in size and effectively exhausts heat. ■Hi-Res certified The EM5 is a product that has been certified as "Hi-Res Audio" and "Hi-Res Audio Wireless" by the Japan Audio Society.
