ADOT or Audiophile Digital Optical Technology, is a company that specialises in optical fibre upgrade kits. The kits are designed to offer better quality distribution when streaming over a network. ADOT have a close connection with Melco, who make high end music libraries that distribute files over a network.
ADOT’s technology is used to optimise the sound quality of audio over a network, It bypasses the unshielded noisy nature of Ethernet, by using a fibre-optic network. ADOT kits convert the audio signal to light and back again. As a result the signal is immune to interference.
The ADOT project was developed by Melco’s UK based distributor ADMM. A team was formed of Melco users as well as industry experts. The aim was to improve on the noisy nature of Ethernet networks, for audio distribution. The team knew that the best way was to totally isolate the audio signal by using optical fibre.
Digital audio can be as delicate as analogue audio. Noise can cause rounding of the waveform edges causing dropouts, timing errors and jitter. The signal needs to be treated with respect, especially with today's hi-res audio, which has a high data rate. Copper networks were not designed to carry audio and are not shielded. Moreover, long cable runs act as aerials, picking up all kinds of noise. Hence the need for an optical signal path.
Cables may not seem as glamorous an upgrade as a new CD player or amplifier, but the difference that a new interconnect, mains cable or pair of speaker cables can make might just surprise you. A hi-fi system is only as good as its weakest link, so ensuring you have high quality cables and interconnects is a no brainer, and certainly not an area you want to skimp! Not only is a good quality cable likely to sound better, they are often built to a higher standard than free giveaway or cheap cables, and usually come with large warranties – a sign that they are well made and sure to last!
We have a range of audio cables and interconnects, ideal for connecting a source to an amplifier, or a power amplifier to a pre amplifier. A high quality interconnect will ensure that no signal or information is lost, and can even affect the characteristics and tone of your music. We have a huge range of audio cables, with a variety of connection options and terminations, a range of lengths and a product to suit every taste and budget.
Speaker cables can greatly affect the sound produced by your speakers, and as such a good speaker cable is essential. We have a huge range of speaker cables, including custom lengths off the reel. We offer cable termination services, providing high quality banana plug or spade plug termination to a selection of custom length cables. We also offer a range of pre-terminated cables to suit your requirements.
It isn’t just audio cables which can offer an improvement to your enjoyment of music and films. We offer a range of digital cables, ranging from optical cables, coaxial cables, HDMI cables to USB cables for connecting a DAC to an amplifier.
