New release: Legend 60.2 silverback DS
Ole Witthøft
Legend 60.2 silverback DS is the new and significantly upgraded flagship model in System Audio’s wireless, active Silverback speaker series.
With the DS upgrade, Legend 60.2 is not just fine-tuned – it has been elevated technologically and musically to a new level.
DS stands for Digital Stream and is a comprehensive upgrade of the speaker’s digital platform.
Instead of changing the speaker’s physical components, System Audio has rethought the entire digital signal processing – the “brain” that controls the interaction between drivers, amplifiers, and the music signal.
The DS upgrade includes:

The result is a sound that feels bigger, more open, and more present – with better timing, better dynamics, and a calmness that brings you closer to the music.
In Legend 60.2 silverback DS, the advantages of the DS platform truly come into their own.
In addition to the new digital signal processing, the DS upgrade also has a direct impact on the speaker’s power:
Legend 60.2 silverback has four built-in amplifiers, and with the DS version, these amplifiers now deliver 50% more power than before, resulting in:
The extra power works hand in hand with the new DSP, giving the speaker both more power and more finesse – without compromising on precision or musicality.

The DS platform is designed to function as a single integrated system.
When Legend 60.2 silverback DS is used with Stereo Hub HT or Surround Hub, music is streamed in high resolution directly from the music service all the way to the speaker’s amplifiers – without conversion, compression, or processing along the way.
The only analog conversion occurs at the output of the speaker’s own amplifiers.
It is this uncompromising approach that gives the DS sound its characteristic combination of purity, dynamics, and musicality.
With the DS upgrade and 50% more amplifier power, Legend 60.2 silverback is not only System Audio’s most ambitious wireless speaker – it is also the most controlled and dynamic to date.
Yes! The Silverback platform is developed with longevity in mind, and existing owners of Legend 60.2 silverback can upgrade to DS in various ways.
The DS upgrade is delivered as a complete system upgrade including a new Stereo Hub HT, so the entire signal path is optimized for the DS platform.
Owners of 60.2 silverback with firmware 626 or 632 and Stereo Hub HT can write to our support here and receive a file and instructions.
Upgrading to DS for existing Legend 60.2 silverback with firmware version 626 and 632 costs Euro 675,- including Stereo Hub HT.
See where to find information about your speaker’s firmware.
Upgrading to DS for speakers with firmware version 532 or lower costs Euro 134.- per speaker (including VAT and transport) and is performed on the Silverback modules at System Audio A/S in Roskilde or a designated service partner.
When upgrading to Stereo Hub HT together with upgrading amplifiers with firmware 532, the total price for the hub and speaker update is Euro 869.- (including VAT and transport).
Legend 60.2 silverback DS costs Euro 7,799. – per pair (Euro 8,248.- including Stereo Hub HT) and is available now.
Legend 60.2 silverback DS represents a new generation of products where technology is no longer static, but dynamic and software defined. The DS upgrade (Digital Stream) means that the speaker’s sound and functionality are largely determined by digital signal processing (DSP) and software, rather than just physical components.
It represents a shift away from the classic hi-fi mindset, where sound systems were hardware-defined and static, to a modern approach where the listening experience can be improved and adapted continuously through software updates.
This philosophy entails:
Upgradable technology means that you are investing in a system that can evolve with your needs and technological developments:
DS platform and thus gain access to significantly higher amplifier power, faster digital algorithms, andmoreprecise and natural sound.
