Highlights

MCD709/37

12-bit/108MHz video processing

12-bit Video DAC is a superior Digital-to­Ana

logue-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
res

olution 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, con
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

verts it into a digital signal and then

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.

Neodymium Ribbon Tweeter

The Neodymium Ribbon Tweeter is a
mono

pole 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 180­degree 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,
nat

ural 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
b

etter 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 micro system comes
w

ith 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 CD loader. The result is
smooth and excellent sound reproduction.

High quality remote Control

The remote control is a perfect balance of
dimensi

ons and weight. Sleek and
ergonomically designed, the bottom cover of
remote control features a soft rubber-paint
finish to ensure comfort in usage.
