The Roksan Caspian Audio System, launched in 1998, included four main components: an integrated amplifier, a CD player, an FM tuner, and often a power amplifier or pre-amplifier.
The Integrated Amplifier was praised for delivering precise sound with minimal distortion. It featured robust construction with a high-quality steel and alloy case. The amplifier provided a clean, neutral sound that could pair well with a range of speakers.
The CD player in the Caspian system offered superior digital-to-analogue conversion (DAC), ensuring high-fidelity playback. The precision of the DAC was key to producing clear, dynamic sound from CDs, with excellent timing and musicality.
The FM tuner was a standout in the system. Its user-friendly controls, such as the channel selector and tuning knobs, provided an analogue feel, enhancing the user experience. The steel and alloy case contributed to its premium build, while the auto-seek and store functions, manual tuning, and robust signal locking ensured excellent performance. The tuner’s ability to capture clear sound across a variety of stations, whether it was classical or pop music, made it popular. The Caspian tuner managed to articulate detail across most frequencies with excellent bass, midrange, and crisp treble reproduction.
