Eidos 36
Universal Player
The Eidos 36 Universal Player is based on years of experience accumulated by Goldmund in designing analog turntable and CD/DVD transports. The Eidos 36, as for the prestigious Eidos Reference, fully embodies the Goldmund "Mechanical Grounding" construction, the principle which made Goldmund players absolutely unique in performance. Thanks to its many innovative features, the Eidos 36 is not only an exceptional DVD turntable, but delivers the best CD playback ever available and an extraordinary transparency to SACD too.
Technical Description
- The chassis of the Goldmund Eidos 36 is a strong, ultra-rigid brass and aluminum cell structure which receives the internal equipment of the unit. It uses the same "Mechanical Grounding" construction as the Eidos 38D and Eidos Reference with steel, brass and aluminum metal components.
- The transport itself is rigidly installed in - and coupled to - a heavy metal assembly
- The loading tray is machined in aluminum and teflon to guarantee a total absence of vibration and a perfect handling of the disc, but is totally decoupled from the main mechanism structure to avoid additional resonance as in the Eidos Reference.
- The reading process is further enhanced by a new principle applied by Goldmund and called the "Goldmund Magnetic Damper". Using a magnetic field to damp the reading mechanism guarantees a much smoother move of the laser focusing device and provides a much more accurate information retrieval.
- 5 Video outputs are provided in standard :
- 1 x RCA Composite Video Coaxial 75 Ohms connector
- 1 x S-Video connector
- 3 x RCA Component Video 75 Ohms coaxial connectors.
- 5 x BNC RGB/Component Video 75 Ohms coaxial connectors with De-interlacing circuit.
- 1 x DVI Digital Video Progressive connector.
- The digital Audio output is provided on :
- 1 x RCA SPDIF 75 Ohms connector in 44k/48k.
- 1 x XLR balanced connector in 44k/48k.
- 1 x ATT Optical fiber connector in 44k/48k.
- 1 x RCA SPDIF 75 Ohms connector in 96kHz 24 bits.
- The power supply uses 4 separate transformers with built-in Goldmund "AC-Curator" circuitry. Each separate voltage of the power supply is fully regulated and filtered separately using the Goldmund technique of "Warm Regulator" for a very smooth voltage filtering.
- The front and side panels of the unit are finished in silver anodized aluminum.
