FOG 3 CD Player

FOG 3 has the hard task to succeed FOG 2, one of the worldwide reference for the last 5 years. Cairns flagship CD player uses the technical solutions developed in OLAN but at a more affordable price. FOG 3 exploits the quintessence of the available digital technology linked to a custom in house developed software and user interface. It offers a new idea.

Design of the Avant Garde range : Elegant and easy to use: the user interface allows direct access to the main functions thanks to 4 keys, the knob controls the secondary functions, the menu and the functions defined by the user. The selected materials have high visual and mechanical qualities: 2 mm and 12mm machined aluminium parts. The front panel is made after 5 different machining and surface treatments to offer the best finish without any flaws.

Musicality was a challenge, because we had to improve FOG2 performances including the OLAN development and still be able to offer our flagship at a 5 times less expensive cost than OLAN ! We are proud to have been able to achieve this result without compromising the sound quality, keeping a refined and airy sound with more detail and body like a sensual high end instrument. FOG 3 offers a wide frequency response: bass is very deep without any roundness and with an ideal damping, treble goes very high smoothly thanks to the new adjustable digital filter. FOG 3 is the result of the most sophisticated technical solutions and represents Cairn signature sound at its summit.

Technic includes the last generation of D/A converter working in digital balanced mode and simulates a AES/EBU professional signal from a SPDIF signal. The new analog stages are in class A, balanced and without negative feedback. The analog filter has been adapted to the new digital features to reduce phase distortion. The use of SMD components allows a layout without any noise or coupling effects.

Towards evolutive systems: Multi Solutions options system is available with FOG3. It can be a regular CD player but a D/A converter and Digital preamplifier too. The digital inputs can be switched by the knob or by the remote. The digital filters can be adjusted by the front panel controls or by the remote. The user interface (English or French) allows an individual setup (sources name, relative levels). Connected to 481O or NITRO with a serial/RS232 cable, FOG3 is recognized and can be switched on/off or waked up automatically. A first step towards domotics. The firmware can be updated by downloading a new version from an attached file sent by email. Whenever you feel like upgrading your FOG 3 with the latest software and firmaware updates, Multi Solutions is the easy and quick answer to your needs.
