Class 'D' Amplifier
Class ‘D’ Digital Amplifier takes an analog
signal, converts it into a digital signal and then
amplifies the signal digitally. The signal then
enters a demodulation filter to give the final
output. The amplified digital output delivers all
the advantages of digital audio, including
improved sound quality. In addition, Class ‘D’
Digital Amplifier has greater than 90%
efficiency compared to traditional AB
amplifiers. This high efficiency translates into a
powerful amplifier with a small footprint.
Digital Sound Control
Digital Sound Control offers you a choice of
pre-set Jazz, Rock, Pop and Classic controls
you can use to optimise the frequency ranges
for different musical styles. Each mode uses
graphic equalizing technology to automatically
adjust the sound balance and enhance the most
important sound frequencies in your chosen
music style. Ultimately, Digital Sound Control
makes it easy for you get the most out of your
music by precisely adjusting the sound balance
to match the type of music you are playing.
Dynamic Bass Boost
Dynamic Bass Boost maximizes your music
enjoyment by emphasizing the bass content of
the music throughout the range of volume
settings - from low to high – at the touch of a
button! Bottom-end bass frequencies usually
get lost when the volume is set at a low level.
To counteract this, Dynamic Bass Boost can be
switched on to boost bass levels, so you can
enjoy consistent sound even when you turn
down the volume.
Loudness
In the sound spectrum, high and low
frequencies are relatively less audible to human
ears - especially at low volumes. By activating
the Loudness feature, the bass and treble will
be amplified so you can savor a more balanced
sound perception overall.
Progressive Scan
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical
resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably
sharper picture. Instead of sending a field
comprising the odd lines to the screen first,
followed by the field with the even lines, both
fields are written at one time. A full image is
created instantaneously, using the maximum
resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives
a sharper picture with no line structure.
