• For further support on your product, please visit our website: www.technics.com/uk/ High-Quality Audio Technologies Employed including JENO Engine and LAPC The JENO Engine transmits and processes audio signals in full digital and with minimal jitter from the input stage to the power stage. The LAPC conducts speaker load adaptive phase calibration to achieve ideal gain and phase characteristics for any type of speaker. Also, a unique, high- precision PWM conversion circuit is used for PWM conversion, which is important for sound quality. Three-section Configuration In integrated amplifiers, there are a variety of circuits such as circuits handling the micro- signals of input, circuits handling large current, etc. SU-G700 uses a three-section construction with partitions installed between the circuit blocks according to the signal level handled. This eliminates interference between circuit blocks, thus achieving clear sound quality. High Rigidity Aluminum Cabinet The high-rigidity metal double chassis features a steel-plate inner chassis and a steel-plate outer chassis to reduce vibration and noise that degrade the purity of sound.
