3 Design and Performance Roksan has earned the enviable reputation for offering a peerless performance and build quality for over three decades. From our very first product the Xerxes Turntable exhaustive research and development goes into every Roksan product with the aim of providing the most involving and life-like listening experience possible. This is achieved by our meticulous attention to detail in mechanical, electrical, acoustic and aesthetic design. Features such as unique isolation and damping methods, advanced electronic design, careful selection of audiophile grade components, dual mono amplification topology and comprehensive listening tests all combine to deliver Roksan s renowned sonic signature. With the incorporation of high quality materials and advanced manufacturing methods, our product build quality is beyond reproach. We continually search for ways in which we can deliver genuine high-end audio performance to more and more music lovers. For example, we have developed our own K-Link wireless streaming system and were one of the very first industry adopters of aptx Bluetooth streaming to offer the best possible sound in a rapidly expanding and changing market. 4 5

4 Turntables and Vinyl From the inception of the company, vinyl replay has always been at the heart of Roksan. The very first Roksan product was the original Xerxes Turntable which was instantly recognised as one of the world s finest reference vinyl record players. Since then it has seen several upgrades and exists in its latest form, the Xerxes 20 Plus. With the numerous other Roksan products in the vinyl replay range, we have maintained an enviable reputation for expertise in all things analogue including high-performance cartridges, tonearms, speed controls and pre-amps. 6 7
