ROON MUSE: PRECISE AUDIO CONTROL FOR ON THE GO
Roon, the ingenious, server-based music management and playback software, has been expanded with a new feature. The DSP suite in Roon is now called MUSE and is now also available under this name in a modified form in the mobile suite Roon ARC.
MUSE can also be referred to as an “audio shaping suite”. So a special menu with various functions for sound adjustment. This includes extensive EQ settings, crossfeed for headphones, adjustments for DSD and more. All settings made in MUSE can be saved device-specifically and thus automatically activated when the device is connected. Adjustments for different listening situations can also be saved. For example for the car, for the gym or in the garden.
All settings, especially for the EQ functions, have been designed in such a way that they can also be set precisely on smartphones with a relatively small display. In this way, EQ filters and curves can first be shaped roughly with a finger and then adjusted to the nearest Hertz using a rotary knob or by entering numerical values.
On the Intro page of MUSE There is also a short explanatory video, which unfortunately I cannot embed here.

NUBERT SOUNDBAR NUPRO AS-2500 INTRODUCED
The new nuPro AS-2500 Soundbar closes the gap in the Nubert range between the compact but relatively wide nuBoxx AS-425 max and the nuPro AS-3500, which is significantly higher in the ranking.
The new nuPro AS-2500 is particularly compact – for a Nubert soundbar.
The new model measures only around 14 centimeters in depth, 105 centimeters in length (well, rather width) and weighs 7 kilograms. With this, Nubert wants to advance into the market for “real” soundbars. This probably means particularly compact and inconspicuous sound bars. The previous Nubert soundbars were rather bulky. In any case, the compact design of the nuPro AS-2500 also allows a space-saving and visually appealing installation on the wall.
The nuPro AS-2500 supports all common standards from Dolby to DTS to Bluetooth aptX HD. The proven Voice+ function for better speech intelligibility and a virtual sound extension are also on board.
Three-way principle: In the nuPro AS-2500, two tweeters, two mid-bass drivers and two woofers are used on the underside. If you like, you can also connect an external subwoofer. Various settings can be called up quickly via sound presets. A remote control is also included in the factory-supplied accessories.
Die Nubert Soundbar nuPro AS-2500 is now available directly from the manufacturer in either black or white at an RRP of 495 euros.
