6x Class D Digital Amplifier

When it comes to perfect audio there is no
roo

m for distortion. Digital amplifiers generate
far less heat than standard analog amplifiers,
allowing for smaller set enclosures. Philips
Class D Amplifiers™ provide dramatically
enhanced sound quality over digital amplifiers
used by competitors as they are designed to
control and reduce EMI (Electro Magnetic
Interference). In addition, the Class D
Amplifiers™ use a closed loop design which
suppresses distortion and loss of audio quality.
The overall result is enhanced audio
performance from a much smaller package.

resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives
a sharper picture with no line structure.
