12-bit/108MHz video DAC

12-bit Video DAC is a superior Digital-to-Analogue-

Converter that preserves every detail of the authentic 

picture quality. It shows subtle shades and smoother 

graduation of colors, resulting in a more vibrant and 

natural picture. The limitation of the usual 10bit DAC 

become in particular apparent while using large screens 

and projectors.

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.

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.

Ribbon Tweeter in Micro System

The Neodymium Ribbon Tweeter is a monopole tweeter 

that produces dynamic and crisp sound from the front. It 

is a feature commonly used in high-end audio systems to 

reproduce sound with excellent fidelity. Conventional 

cones and dome tweeters are based on a directional 

moving coil principle whereas the monopole Neodymium 

Ribbon Tweeter radiates high frequencies in a full 180-

degree radiation pattern. This dramatically increases the 

width of the sound spectrum in the higher tones and 

expands the sweet spot zone to deliver wide, crystal-clear, 

and natural sound even from compact audio systems.

Real rosewood speaker box

The speaker enclosure is made of the real, natural 

rosewood. Its stiffness and density are both excellent 

acoustic damping properties for perfect quality sound 

reproduction. Part of the manufacturing process involves 

hand-making to ensure a super quality finish.

Gold-plated speaker connector

The Gold-plated speaker connector ensures better audio 

signal transmission compared to traditional click-fit 

connections. It also minimizes the electrical signal loss 

from the amplifier to the speaker box, resulting in sound 

reproduction that's as close to reality as possible.

High-end component design

The component-designed DVD micro system comes with 

a stand that features four triangular feet. It can prevent 

any audio frequency distortion due to vibration, 

overheating and electromagnetic interference generated 

from the amplifier and DVD loader. The result is smooth 

and excellent and sound reproduction.

High quality remote Control

The remote control is a perfect balance of dimensions and 

weight. Sleek and ergonomically designed, the bottom 

cover of remote control features a soft rubber-paint finish 

to ensure comfort in usage.
