Fitted with a Full Band Phase Control function. If the speaker unit is divided into multiple parts, such as tweeter and woofer sections, this corrects for group delay (the difference between phase and timing) between speakers. Further, by lining up the phases of the connected speakers, the unit can achieve more accurate reproduction across the full range (full band) and across all channels.

By connecting an AV component that supports PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) by HDMI, you can reduce the affects of jitter that occurs during the transfer of audio signals, so you get high quality playback of audio from CDs, BDs, and DVDs.

This unit features PQFA (Precision Quartz for File-based Audio) feature that enables high-quality playback by greatly reducing jitter through the operation of the high-precision Audio Clock device. It works when input is switched to NET, USB, or BT AUDIO.
