Audio and Technology
SuperSystem has a hardware specification to match its impressive feature list. A large OLED display is paired with an intuitive joystick control, enabling quick and easy navigation around SuperSystem’s many features.
Every aspect of SuperSystem’s design and development has been geared towards its audio performance, from its all-wood cabinet through to the cutting-edge sound modelling techniques and carefully engineered bass porting system. The result is an open sound with clarity, detail and deep rich bass, free from coloration and distortion and benefiting from an expansive sound field – a common characteristic of all the models in our SuperSeries range. SuperSystem’s audio performance is delivered courtesy of a 80W Class-D amplifier, twin 3.5″ BMR flat diaphragm speaker drivers and a dedicated 40W subwoofer.
Design and Construction
Aesthetically, SuperSystem is a balanced blend of modernity and mid-century charm, with a touch of functionalism added for good measure. The outcome is a timeless design with a level of attention to detail that leaves a lasting impression.
A hand-crafted wooden cabinet has been selected for its superb acoustic properties, clad in furniture grade American walnut or matt paint finishes, no other material provides the deep foundations of great audio performance like wood. The use of high quality anodised T6 aluminium for the front facia and speaker grille, and pressing steel for the radio’s backplate further inject a reassuring tactility and sense of honesty that cannot be achieved with lesser materials.
UNDOK Control & Multiroom
UNDOK technology puts you in complete control of SuperSystem and its features, including the ability to create a wireless multiroom system, all courtesy of the UNDOK app for iOS and Android.
UNDOK centralises control of SuperSystem’s various functions including DAB, Internet radio and FM, Spotify Connect, Network Audio and USB audio playback. Music played via Bluetooth and AUX-IN modes can also be distributed across a multiroom network using the UNDOK app.
UNDOK technology links up to five SuperSystems or other UNDOK compatible devices (such as our SuperConnect radio) to create a wireless multiroom system. Play different tracks in different rooms, or simply let a single song provide the soundtrack throughout your living space, all controlled from the UNDOK app.

Wireless DLNA Audio Streaming
SuperSystem allows you to enjoy your entire music collection streamed wirelessly from a networked PC or Mac in your home. It supports a variety of audio codecs including AAC, AAC+,MP3, WAV, WMA and FLAC. Audio streaming requires a DLNA server or PC/Mac running DLNA certified software.
Digital Music, No Wires
Thanks to Bluetooth® technology you can wirelessly stream music to SuperSystem from your iPhone, Android, Samsung, Blackberry or any other Bluetooth® enabled device, such as a laptop or tablet. No physical docking necessary. The addition of aptX® technology means that where supported by the transmitting device, streaming music will be at CD quality, rather than the MP3 quality of standard Bluetooth® streaming.
Audio Engineering
SuperSystem’s exceptional audio performance is thanks to the inclusion of BMR flat diaphragm loudspeaker technology. Flat diaphragm transducers combine the performance attributes of a flat panel speaker with the pistonic movement of a conventional loudspeaker, resulting in a high performance compact drive unit that can cover a wider range of frequencies.
The result is 80 watts of high-resolution digital audio from SuperSystem’s Class D amplifier, a smooth frequency response, expansive sound stage and deep, satisfying bass.
USB Charging and Audio Playback
SuperSystem is equipped with a convenient front mounted USB connector allowing easy charging of devices such as smartphones and tablets. Additionally, SuperSystem will playback MP3, AAC and WMA audio files stored on a USB stick or similar device.
