WHY A MUSICBOOK COMBO?

Because it’s the first all-in-one music player from LINDEMANN? Or the logical continuation of the highly successful Musicbook series? Either way: the COMBO is fully equipped, features a unique design, and carries truly audiophile DNA. It's the essence of 30 years of experience in amplifier and digital source development – a true all-rounder and the new heart of your hi-fi system for years to come!

THE HEART OF YOUR SYSTEM

The Musicbook COMBO combines our award-winning Musicbook SOURCE II with the power amp technology of the Musicbook POWER II. With a wide range of features and connection options, a dream comes true: simply connect your speakers – and enjoy music in its purest form!

Whether streaming services, music servers, CDs or LPs – nearly every source is supported and easily controlled via the LINDEMANN app. And headphone lovers will also get their money’s worth. To top it all off, the COMBO includes an excellent MM phono input for your turntable!

EXCEPTIONAL ENGINEERING

The circuit design of the Musicbook COMBO is fully optimized for outstanding sound quality. At its heart is one of the finest DAC chips available – the AK4493 from Japanese digital specialist AKM.

The integrated phono MM preamp offers wonderfully musical playback and is identical to the highly acclaimed Limetree PHONO II. The headphone amplifier also delivers top-tier sound quality with ample output power, even for demanding headphones. The power amplifier is technically identical to the Musicbook POWER II, offering control and audiophile performance that far exceed its price class.

SOUND, SOUND, SOUND

The Musicbook COMBO also uses the re-sampling process known from the Musicbook SOURCE II, in which all digital input signals are converted to high-resolution 1-bit signals (DSD256) via re-sampling.

With 256 times the resolution of a CD, the conversion to analog is carried out purely through analog filtering – without digital filters or signal processors.

The result of this “deconstruction” of the DAC is a completely transparent musical signal: maximum resolution, brilliant tone colors, unlimited dynamics, and a uniquely “real” atmosphere reminiscent of the best analog playback!

MOVE

WHY MOVE? Because this speaker moves you – not just emotionally, but conceptually. It challenges everything we thought we knew about the perfect loudspeaker. The MOVE is different. And yet absolutely time-coherent. It will amaze you every single day! It’s no secret: LINDEMANN has been building high-end network players with exceptional sound for years. Now we proudly present the MOVE – a monitor speaker that’s far more than just an addition to our portfolio. MOVE represents a radically new approach. A true rethink of the loudspeaker concept. We re-evaluated every detail and developed a completely new design for high-resolution music playback. A speaker that moves you – highly refined, detailed, natural. Or simply: just right. CONCEPT Unlike conventional speakers, the MOVE is a point source design built around a full-range driver. The entire frequency spectrum is reproduced by a single membrane – completely coherent, without a loss-prone crossover. The voice coil is essentially connected directly to the amplifier output. A super tweeter extends the upper frequency range from 10 kHz to 36 kHz, delivering extraordinary transparency – especially with high-resolution recordings. INNER VALUES The full-range driver in the MOVE is engineered down to the finest detail for a completely lossless reproduction of the amplifier signal. The long-excursion voice coil is centered solely by a newly developed rubber surround, eliminating the need for a traditional centering spider. Even the smallest nuances of the amplifier can fully unfold. One of the key design focuses was energy storage in the cabinet material. The result: a housing made from high-density fiberboard with just 12 mm wall thickness and minimal energy retention. The amplifier signal is converted directly into sound – delivering a particularly clear, energetic playback with excellent bass performance. SYSTEM THINKING The MOVE is the perfect match for our high-resolution network players – whether the MUSICBOOK Combo or the new WOODNOTE Combo. In combination with our active bass extension GROOVE, it forms a fully active reference-class speaker system with bass response down to 25 Hz. The perfect source for this setup? The MUSICBOOK SOURCE or the WOODNOTE SOLO. These flexible combinations allow you to create your ideal setup – for an unparalleled listening experience and pure musical enjoyment.

MOVE mini

WHY MOVE mini? The MOVE mini is the award-winning “little sister” of the MOVE – sharing the same premium concept but in a more compact form. Thanks to its size, it’s ideal for use as a desktop monitor or bookshelf speaker. It also makes a brilliant audiophile alternative to conventional soundbars. The MOVE mini is designed for discerning listeners – not for volume junkies or party lovers. Its strengths lie in exceptional resolution at room volume, rich tonal color, and true musicality. The balance and especially the resolution of the MOVE mini are a clear statement. Not just at this price point! SOUND. SPOT ON. Just like its big “sister” MOVE, the MOVE mini is a point source loudspeaker based on a full-range driver. A single voice coil and diaphragm cover the entire audible range – supported by a super tweeter from 10 kHz upwards for maximum transparency and air. Without a classic crossover, using only a passive frequency response correction – for a homogeneous, natural sound, even in nearfield listening. REDUCED TO THE MAX. The MOVE mini features a high-precision full-range driver with flat diaphragm geometry, mono suspension and ultra-low moving mass – for direct, detailed, and distortion-free sound. The cabinet is made of a high-density fiber composite and uses only 9 mm wall thickness. Thanks to minimal energy storage, it delivers outstanding clarity in the midrange and impressive low-end performance. SYSTEM THINKING. The MOVE mini is the perfect speaker for music lovers with the highest expectations in sound quality. In combination with our new network player Woodnote COMBO, it creates a system that leaves nothing to be desired. A truly minimalist setup for maximum listening pleasure. Thanks to its versatility, the MOVE mini also performs brilliantly with virtually any other audio source – delivering an exceptional sound experience and pure musical enjoyment!
