The Multi Amplifier System equipped with your system

The Multi Amplifier System has two amplifiers with lefts and rights channels; one for middle-and-high frequency sound from 200 Hz to 20 kHz, the other for low frequency from 20 Hz to 200 Hz,

If both middle-and-high and low frequency sounds are output from one amplifier, middle-and-high frequency sound may be distorted. On the other hand, if each frequency sound is output from separate amplifier, each sound will be played back in good quality.

So, good quality sound will be played back with this Multi Amplifier

System which has separate amplifiers for two frequency ranges,	/
