Thule Audio CD-100 Brochure
[ the spirit of thule audio: ]
The Spirit product line, like all products from Thule Audio, have been designed and built with
one goal in mind: keep it simple! It is not a coinsidence that our slogan is deceptively simple,
though. The simple, elegant exterior where no unnecessary buttons clutter the front plates
hides many unique technical details, all of which help to create Thule Audio's uniquely crisp
and natural sound.
[ thule audio cd technology ]
The Spirit CD players are built with CDM14BL-5BD25 laser units and loaders from Sony, but we have
optimized the servo parameters to our own standards.
These design efforts have resulted in
CD players that can play most scratches of up to 2 mm
without any detrimental effects on the sound. An added benefit of our design is that the system
is in “stand by mode” when the disc has no bad sections.This means that the mechanical noise
from the
CD mechanism is extremely low, compared to other
CD players, and that our CD players
are very reliable in the long term.
Furthermore the
CD100 and CD150B are build with heavy steel cabinets, damped feets and
floating laser sledge coupling, which makes them less vulnerable to mechanical shock than
most other
CD players.
