A Pure, Clear Sound That Seems to Come Right From The Screen

ADVANCED SMART SOUND SPEAKER SYSTEM

The new speaker units we developed for this system offer outstanding clarity, rich bass, and superior sound localisation in the medium frequency range. We also developed speaker

diaphragms made of eco-friendly bamboo fibres, achieving both a crisp, transparent treble sound and excellent environmental performance. A unique, improved passive radiator in the woofer also helps produce a clear, robust bass sound.

SRS TRUSURROUND XT - A RICHER, MORE EXPANSIVE SOUND

The PZ700A and LXD700A series feature SRS TruSurround XT, a sound-enhancing system that expands the acoustic field, making it possible for these two speaker systems to produce a virtual 5.1-channel surround effect that wraps the listener in a pure, clear sound. Developed by SRS Labs, Inc., SRS TruSurroundXT is a 3D sound reproduction technology that's based on the Head-Related Transfer Function - part of a theory that concerns the relationship between frequency change and the human ears' ability to determine the direction of a sound. This technology solves the problem of narrow "sweet spots", a shortcoming of ordinary stereo reproduction systems. Used in the PZ700A and LXD700A Series, it helps provide expansive surround sounds across a wide listening range.

OUTSTANDING

SOUND

ADVANCED ULTRA-SLIM

SPEAKER UNIT

The new Advanced Ultra-Slim Speaker Unit reproduces sounds all the way down to 350Hz - the kind of deep sound, such as a male baritone voice, that was handled by the woofer in conventional systems. Even with its narrow aperture, the new speaker unit has superb directional characteristics, so everyone in the room enjoys outstanding sound quality.

TWIN PASSIVE RADIATOR WOOFERS

The woofers use an enhanced passive radiator system to deliver an incredibly deep, clear sound. Using asymmetrical, contoured edges to prevent the harmonic distortion that can occur with conventional passive radiator systems, this enhanced system delivers a clearer sound than bass reflex systems of the same size.
