Technics Orchestration Concept

Exquisite music experience backed by decades of innovation

This system brings together numerous technologies — for speakers, amplifiers, and signal processing — that Technics has perfected over many years. In the SC-CX700, Technics has created a single integrated solution that faithfully reproduces music and other sounds in great detail.

Technology for ideal integration

Acoustic Solitude Construction optimises amplifier and speaker performance

The amplifier box and speaker enclosure have been separated within a single integrated unit while keeping the size compact. Vibration is one of the major causes of sound quality degradation in amplifiers. If the board with the amplifier circuit is inside the speaker enclosure, the back pressure and vibration from the speaker would affect sound quality. Acoustic Solitude Construction separates the amplifier box from the speaker enclosure. The structural separation prevents the transmission of vibrations and optimises the performance of both.

Ideal speaker control by MBDC (Model Based Diaphragm Control)

The SC-CX700 is equipped with MBDC (Model Based Diaphragm Control) that adjusts the diaphragm’s movement in real-time for low-range reproduction. Using a simulation of the movement of the speaker diaphragm, MBDC generates signals for adjustment to reduce harmonic distortion in the low range. This eliminates distortion in the high- and midrange caused by harmonic distortion in the low-range, achieving superb sound separation with low distortion.

Amp Technology

JENO Engine

The SC-CX700 is equipped with the JENO Engine, a high-precision fully digital amplifier from Technics. It resolves problems in digital processing, such as degradation of precise timing caused by jittering, and minimises degradation of sound quality during the conversion of multibit signals into 1 bit PWM signals. Utilizing the JENO Engine in each individual speaker also reduces disturbance effects in audio signal transmission between the left and right speakers, ensuring a match in the sound quality characteristics of the speakers to realize high-quality stereo reproduction.

Circuit Construction

A separated structure has been created on the base board to realize high S/N and clear separation. The power supply section that handles significant power, the digital signal processing section that handles high-speed signals, and the amplifier section are each separated from one another. The power supply section is also shielded to further prevent interference between the sections

Twin Power Supply Circuit System

To reduce mutual interference between the amplifier handling significant power and the sensitive small signal circuits, the SC-CX700 utilises the Twin Power Supply Circuit System. This supplies power from two separate transformers for the two separate circuits. Furthermore, each circuit and power supply are connected using the shortest possible distance while also being positioned separate from one another to ensure minimal noise in the system.

High Quality Analog Circuit

To achieve high-quality analogue reproduction, film capacitors and other components equivalent to those used in higher-end models are employed throughout the analogue input circuit. Sound quality has been tuned without compromise.
