broadcast-quality video components
In order to achieve outstanding picture
reproduction, broadcast-quality video components
have been used throughout.In addition, the On-
Screen Display (OSD) processor is switched out of
the video circuit when there is no OSD
information.
mixed technology construction
With surface mount components for fast digital
signal transfer and leaded components for perfect
audio signals, the AV32R incorporates mixed
technology construction in one PCB to optimize
performance.
multi-layer pcb
The AV32R’s glass epoxy multi-layer printed
circuit board controls the complex pattern of
return currents, provides controlled impedances
and minimizes coupling better than a conventional
circuit board could ever do. Power distribution is
optimized through the use of very low-impedance
solid planes.To minimize crosstalk and noise, the
ground planes are split along the boundaries
between the analog and digital processing circuits.
high-quality control knobs and facia
All controls are manufactured in our Formula One
facility from 6082-TF aluminium alloy.The facia is
made from a 7mm-thick machined aluminium
extrusion. Black units are hard anodised which
results in almost no wear in many years of hard use.
Silver units, use the same top-quality materials but
are precision lacquered, resulting in a more scratch
sensitive surface.
vibration damping
Both the cover and baseplate are bonded with
viscoelastic laminate to provide a low Q panel with
rapid absorption of externally induced vibrations.
mounting feet
The proprietary multi-part feet each consist of a
Sorbothane membrane, moulded between an inner
support mounting post and an outer shell.The
whole provides both suspension compliance and
controlled damping.The outer shell carries a
polyurethane disk which protects the surface
of furniture while providing the appropriate
friction to hold the unit in place during push-
button operation.
