LUMIN RELEASES REMOTE!

Lumin has typically not supplied remote controls with its products, preferring that its customers use the Lumin app. However, after Lumin made Leedh Processing available for all its products, it says it received so many requests for a physical volume control from customers who were removing their preamplifier from their systems, yet still wanted to control volume remotely, that it’s made one available for separate purchase.

Leedh Processing is an innovative new digital volume adjustment algorithm developed by French designer Gilles Millot, of Acoustical Beauty. Leedh Processing allows volume control in the digital domain, prior to conversion to analogue, without any of the drawbacks that plague other digital volume controls. Gilles says his Leedh Processing algorithm modifies the digital signal amplitude exactly, without any changes to its shape, and with absolutely no loss of information, plus it also uses whole number volume values to maintain audio information integrity during subsequent digital-to-analogue conversion.

“Lumin’s new Infrared Control Package is completely compatible with all Lumin models, irrespective of whether the user elects to use Leedh Processing or not,” said Aleksandar Maksimovic of Audio Magic, which distributes Lumin in Australia. “And as you’d expect from Lumin, its remote control — made in Austria — is of exceptional quality, and the buttons are beautifully tactile.” The remote enables direct control over volume (up/down), mute, play, pause, track skip (next/previous), shuffle, repeat, and standby. It’s also Roon compatible. It’s made from piano black acrylic with a silver zinc bezel, and measures 230×33×10mm (LWD). The complete Lumin Infrared Control Package (remote control and infra-red receiver) sells for $440 (RRP).
