3 Significant Benefits You Get from WRAT
Benefit 1: Uncommonly Low Negative-Feedback Design—so you’ll enjoy cleaner sound on programme peaks
Although NFB (negative feedback) is the most cost- effective way to reduce noise at lower frequencies, there’s a sonic price to pay: larger amounts of NFB severely
inhibit an amplifier’s transient response—the ability to respond to large signal gains (e.g. explosions and musical finales)—and actually distort sound at high frequencies. That’s why our engineers use a low negative- feedback design, with audiophile-grade, close-tolerance components at critical points in the signal path, to achieve a frequency response out to 100 kHz. That means you can fully enjoy the sonic benefits from such high-resolution formats as DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD as well as your regular CDs and DVDs.
Benefit 2: Closed Ground- Loop Circuits—so you’ll enjoy greater maximum volume without distortion
If an amplifier’s ground potential (voltage) fluctuates during playback of movie soundtracks or musical performances, you wind up with unpleasant noise. In an open-loop circuit design, all circuits are connected to the power supply via one loop. If all circuits share the same loop
(like on many amplifiers), the noise multiplies exponentially. Onkyo’s sophisticated closed-circuit design allows each circuit to go and return directly to the power supply. This cancels any individual circuit noise, and keeps the ground potential free of distortion.
Benefit 3: High Instantaneous-Current Capability—so you’ll enjoy film soundtracks with greater impact
Audio signals are very complex. After the amplifier outputs such signals to a speaker, the speaker itself accumulates energy. When the speaker reflexes, it sends energy back to the amplifier. The amplifier must immediately be able to supply a large amount of high current to cancel the speaker’s reflex energy, and instantaneously send out the next signal. The same high current is also necessary to handle speaker impedance fluctuations, which on
occasion force an amplifier to provide four to six times its usual current load. The instantaneous current capability of even Onkyo’s least expensive WRAT receivers is far better than that of most conventional units. This is because competing designs commonly have less than half the current capability. The result? The high-current capability incorporated into all Onkyo receivers means your receiver can deliver movie soundtracks with theatre-like dynamics and clarity—so you’ll get the same exciting sonic slam that you experienced in the cinema.

Now you have transformed your computer into a music server ready to deliver sparkling surround sound.
Internet Radio
Perhaps you’ve been wondering how your kids are getting radio reception from Asia. Or how your flatmate always seems to find those great stations
you can’t find on the radio. What’s the secret? It’s not coming from your local FM/AM tuner. It’s coming from the Internet. Even if you’re an old pro at surfing the airwaves of cyberspace, the benefits of Internet radio will continue to amaze you. No longer are you limited to local access. Now you have the freedom of the kind of music you want to hear when you want to hear it. The drawback? Until now this has been limited to the audio playback capability of your computer and its speakers. We’re sure you’ll agree with us when we say your music deserves more.
