        INTRODUCTION

The DX-388 G3 Dynamic Fusion Amplifier is a new breed of 

Better Music Builder mixing amplifier. This third generation 

amplifier is a hybrid of power amplifier and mixer to help 

you save space and achieve convenience. 

The DX-388 Series has been widely praised as one of the 

most user friendly mixing amplifiers. With its individualized 

and diverse controls front and center, a karaoke novice can 

be an experienced DJ in a matter of hours. Perhaps the most 

impressive leap for this third generation mixing amplifier is its 

accessibility. Besides the four composite A/V inputs in the 

rear panel, a multimedia expansion bay is located in the 

front for easy access. It allows playback of MP3 music files 

stored on a USB flash drive and SD card.

The toughest thing to handle for a power amplifier is 

clipping. Conventional designs use lots of negative feedback 

to provide stability and lower distortion. Unfortunately this 

method results in painfully audible distortion, because when 

clipping occurs, this "feedback" can cause high-frequency 

sticking, keeping the amplifier "latched" in the clipping state 

longer than necessary. Abandoning conventional designs, 

DX-388 G3 utilizes a new design to eliminate this 

high-frequency sticking allowing the amplifier to remain 

stable when powering high reactive loads.

It is simply the best solution for home and professional 

karaoke performance.
