nor any descriptors, of what it does—just the

three initials of the manufacturer.

In Europe, these three letters would cause

anyone in any retail store to pause because

in Europe, the AVM company is famous.

However, the letters were made famous by a

completely different AVM. AVM Computer-

systeme Vertriebs GmbH is one of Europe’s

largest manufacturers of broadband devices

and Smart Home products devices, and is

best-known for its Fritz! product line of DSL

cable, LTE, wireless LAN, and DECT products.

However the company that manufactures the

AVM Inspiration CS2.2 is ‘Audio Video Manu-

hat to call AVM’s Inspiration

CS 2.2? Its German manu-

facturer labels it a ‘compact

streaming CD-Receiver’

which, as it happens, is exactly what it is.

However this simplistic description some-

what obscures the fact that the Inspiration

CS 2.2 also has an inbuilt DAC, so it’s a

digital-to-analogue converter as well, plus the

‘receiver’ moniker doesn’t make it entirely

obvious that it also functions as a high-end

FM radio receiver as well as an internet radio

device. Basically, it’s a complete hi-ﬁ system

in itself… all you need to do is add a pair of

speakers. In times of yore (and those times

would be the 60s and 70s for all you milleni-

als) AVM would have dubbed the Inspiration

CS2.2 a ‘music centre minus speakers.’

The equipmenT

One problem AVM might face when market-

ing the Inspiration CS2.2 is that it’s so small,

and looks so plain, that many potential

buyers might well underestimate the extent

of its capabilities if they were to see it on

a shelf in a showroom. As I said, it’s small

(340×92×350mm) and of the ten (and note

that there are only ten) controls on the front

panel, only three of them are labelled… and

there’s no model number on the front panel,

faktur’, and has nothing at all to do with its

more famous namesake.

Here in Australia, where both AVMs are

virtually unknown, the only thing that

would cause a casual passer-by to pause and

examine the Inspiration CS2.2 more closely

is that it’s undeniably beautiful, because the

chassis seems so sleek and ‘seamless’. I put

that ‘seamless’ in inverted commas because in

point of fact there are two visible ‘seams’ on

the top of the chassis, but you’ll look in vain

for any screws or ﬁxings on the top or sides:

all ﬁxing is done from the rear and underside.

As you’ve probably already guessed, the

reason for the paucity of front panel controls

is that AVM intends for the Inspiration CS2.2

to be operated primarily via the remote

control that comes standard with every unit.

And when you look at AVM’s remote, you can

see that it means business because it’s very

large, has an LCD screen and is ﬁtted with

no fewer than 45 individual controls, many

of which serve multiple functions, thanks to

the remote also being programmable. Even

more importantly, it uses radio-frequencies to

converse (and it is a two-way conversation,

because the Inspiration CS2.2 also ‘talks’ back

to the remote) with the Inspiration CS2.2,

which means you can use the remote from

almost anywhere in your home: There’s no
