High Quality Dual Amp Drive Reproduction

Dual Amp Drive

The SA-XR59 achieves superb reproduction by making it possible for two amps to drive ordinary (non-biwired) speakers connected via a single speaker cable. Conventional multi-channel amps use only one amp per speaker in 2-channel playback, and the surround channel amp is not used at all. But in the SA-XR59, Panasonic has applied original technology that takes full advantage of the characteristics of digital amps, completely synchronising the two amps in parallel so that they can drive a single speaker using the ordinary connection method. This capitalises on the outstanding response of the digital amp, while the double drive power adds richness and depth. The dual amp drive system automatically activates for 2-channel sources and then resumes ordinary drive for multi-channel sources. There is no need to change speaker cables to match the source.

5.1ch with Dual Amp Drive (Advanced Dual Amp)

The SA-XR59 also uses its dual amp drive system to drive the left and right front speakers in 5.1ch playback mode. This enhances realism and ambience in movie soundtracks by delivering high-quality sound from the left and right front channels that play such an important role in reproducing movie sound effects and background music.
