Audio

    * Audio Components (+) High-grade audio parts

      Acoustic Components

      Only the highest quality components have been selected for this system, specially selected through listening trials.

      A 70µm thin copper film substrate – twice as thick as the conventional one – results in lower impedance and larger current capacity for all circuit blocks and the CD mechanism.

      The custom condenser also ensures larger capacity, as well as a higher sound quality.

      A high-purity Oxygen-Free Copper power cable and a highly efficient and temperature-stable amorphous chocking coil accomplish a full sound quality.

    * Advanced Sound Retriever (+) Yes

      ASR stands for Advanced Sound Retriever.
      Our ASR sound technology automatically restores the harmonics which were lost during the audio compression process.
      ASR adjusts frequency response and sound pressure, especially in the high and low frequency ranges, to revitalise the density and presence of the compressed signal.
      The result is an improved sound quality with its staging, density and feeling restored to the level of the original recording.
    
    * Balance Yes
    * Bass Booster Yes
    * D/A Converter 1-bit
    * Fader Yes
    * Graphic Equaliser 5-band with 5 pre-set GEQ curves and 2 custom pre-sets
    * High Pass Filter (+) Yes

      When the subwoofer is connected and you do not want low sound to play from the front or rear speakers, turn the high pass filter on. Only fre-quencies higher than those in the selected range will be output from the front or rear speakers.
    * Low Pass Filter (+) Yes

      When you activate the Low Pass Filter, only those frequencies below a specified frequency are output through a specified speaker.
    * Loudness (+) Yes

      At low volume levels, ambient noise levels in your car can overpower low and high frequency sounds in music.

      Loudness control proves a one-button way to boost these frequencies and provide a better overall sound at low level volumes.

    * MIXTRAX Yes
    *Source Level Adjuster (SLA) (+) Yes
