UPPER SADDLE RIVER, NJ (4/24/07) -- Onkyo has begun shipping the compact CS-415 CD Receiver System, an attractive executive mini-system that delivers outstanding sound for a wide range of living environments. The system features an MP3 compatible CD receiver and two-way bookshelf speakers that boast a number of recent Onkyo advances in driver technology. Perfect for those seeking a high-quality, inexpensive audio system loaded with great features, the CS-415 performs equally well on a packed bookshelf or a wide-open countertop, making it the ideal complete system for homes, offices, summerhouses, or dorm rooms.

The Onkyo CS-415 receiver features a high quality CD transport, FM/AM tuner, processing for MP3 audio, and a wide range of connectivity for system expansion. The unit's two high-current low-impedance amplifier modules feature Onkyo's exclusive WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology) design and discrete output stage circuitry for outstanding full-range audio reproduction. For digital MP3/WMA files, it features file/folder navigation and ID3 tag display, making it simple to access up to 10 hours of music from a single CD-R/RW. The digital synthesis AM/FM tuner provides excellent reception and sound quality, as well as 30 preset memories to speed access to favorite stations. Finally, upgraded compatibility with Onkyo’s optional iPod docks allows for effortless integration of an iPod into the system.

The CS-415 two-way bookshelf speakers boast a number of recent technological developments for enhanced musicality and linear response characteristics. The 5-1/8-inch woofers are constructed of Onkyo's A-OMF (Advanced Onkyo Microfiber) Monocoque design, which employs a cotton-weave microfiber construction that is 30% stronger than its predecessor. For high-end reproduction, the company has included a 1-1/8-inch ring-drive tweeter that exhibits a wider range of piston-like motion and a reduction in driver break-up when compared to conventional soft-dome designs. The speakers' attractive black piano-finish enclosures feature Onkyo's advanced Aero Acoustic Drive bass reflex design for outstanding bass output and linearity.

The Onkyo CS-415 includes a full-function remote control, a headphone jack, three audio inputs, one audio output and subwoofer preout to allow users to expand the system to suit their tastes. It is now available in attractive black finish at a suggested retail price of $349.
