Precision Acoustic Engineering
Seamless Interior Integration
Ultra-Clear Sound Performance
Handcrafted Premium Finish
The CDT-Zero/II represents our most cost-effective Red Book CD Transport for the discerning music lover. For those looking for superb sound quality in a small but perfectly formed and affordable package, there is no superior choice. It has been specifically engineered for sonic performance rather than technical specifications and fulfills all Audio Note (UK) Level Zero criteria.
Materials and Component Quality
The in-house custom-modified Philips front-loading CD mechanism is designed purely to read true Red Book CDs, which, in our opinion, is still the best possible digital music format currently available. The CDT-Zero/II is equipped with a single-ended/RCA 75-ohm digital output.
Engineered with audiophile-grade components — premium drivers, hand-matched crossovers, and a hardwood enclosure tuned for natural decay. Every cabinet is internally braced and damped to suppress resonance below the threshold of audibility.
- Custom 6.5" mid-bass driver with paper-pulp cone for transient accuracy.
- Soft-dome silk tweeter with neodymium motor for airy, fatigue-free highs.
- Point-to-point hand-wired crossover using silver-foil capacitors.
- Bi-wirable terminals plated in pure copper.
Place each speaker on its dedicated stand, toed-in toward the listening position. The hardwood enclosure resonates in concert with the drivers — a deliberate, musical interaction rather than a flaw to be eliminated.
Connect to a quality amplifier using bi-wired speaker cable for the most transparent presentation. Allow 50–100 hours of break-in for the drivers and crossover capacitors to settle into their final voicing.
