In order to achieve the 'Technics Sound', we have established internal rules

that push and challenge us every step of the way.

Dedicated audio specialists are involved in a stringent development process that includes

a sound committee performing rigourous sound assessments,

step-by-step quality assurance checks and numerous physical performance evaluations.

Furthermore, we select the best materials for creating the optimal sound.

Only when all of these requirements have been met

can the uniquely inspirational 'Technics Sound' emerge.

In order to achieve this, there will be no compromise, ever.

No Limits or Compromises in Sound Development The Technics Sound Culture

Audio is in our DNA

In re-launching Technics we will be able to call upon nearly five decades of

audio experience and bring this DNA into the digital age,

delivering innovative digital signal processing technologies wrapped

in new design forms.

A sensory experience, not just sounds

Technics products do not simply produce sounds.

They play an important role in the music lover's environment,

wrapping the listener in vivid and dynamic music.

Staying true to the fidelity of the sound is crucial

and we guarantee to reproduce the audio signals as faithfully as possible

while maintaining a clean, crisp sound.

To realise the 'Technics Sound' we have established no fewer than 100 internal rules.

These rules not only include numerical performance but design reviews,

material selection and communication with audiophiles to establish

and maintain the true 'Technics Sound'.

This is the culture of Technics under which true excellence

will be provided by music lovers, for music lovers.

Since the birth of Technics in 1965, we have pursued and

achieved many 'world’s firsts', and

delivered attractive, innovative audio products to the world.

The rejuvenated Technics team will bring to the

table an untiring effort for improvement

surpassing what has previously been achieved and will strive to deliver

sound reproduction as close as is possible to the way the artist intended.

Innovation is in Our DNA At the Forefront of Digital Audio

Innovation keeps Technics' technology moving

Our company invested extensive research resources in Technics,

which led to the emergence of unique technologies, such as direct-drive turntables,

linear-phase speakers, and switching distorton reduction for amplifiers.

These technologies helped to build a new era and drew admiration for the brand.

Even since Technics temporarily left the market, the core DNA has been inherited

by other products such as DVD and Blu-ray players.

Now, we are confident that we have a strong foundation for new technology

to support the return of Technics.

Technics' technology for an emotive listening experience

In our view technology is only a means to deliver optimum musical experiences.

The new Technics products will aim to prove just how far the boundaries of

sound quality can be pushed by technology.

The introduction of our new technologies has enabled us to solve the problem of

noise and distortion, an issue which could not be completely eliminated

by previous digital amplifiers.

It has enabled us to deliver higher-resolution signals to speakers,

which are now able to reproduce sound as close as possible to

having the actual artist perform in the room with you.

This has been further enhanced with the Technics coaxial speaker

concept to narrow the focus of the sound. New technologies,

such as signal processing to optimise audio-signal-to-speaker characteristics

will also constantly be developed to meet the new requirements of high-resolution audio.

Technics will not stop innovating audio technology to create the most emotional

music experience possible by music lovers, for music lovers.

Our new Technics products have a timeless design

that stays true to the clean, stylish lines

of our traditional Technics products,

whilst also allowing for the housing of superior acoustic technology.

High-grade materials, precise construction, expert craftsmanship,

as well as dignified colours and texture all

combine to create the prestigious centre piece

of any music lover's listening environment.

Timeless Design in Every Detail Faithful to Sound Technology, Emotionally Appealing to the Eye

Designed for sound and harmony

The new Technics products have been designed with two key design concepts

at their core. The first is a design that resonates with the music lover's heart.

This is not simply a piece of electrical equipment but an essential element

in the complete listening experience and a product

that the music lover is proud to own and display in their home.

The second is a design faithful to the traditional Technics identity

with no superficial elements. The product has been precisely designed to only

include essential elements enabling the high level of performance required.

Integrating heritage and new innovations

to create Technics' core design values

The passion and detail that go into creating Technics products are not

only confined to technological innovations. When it comes to design,

the passion is preserved by focusing on a well-engineered body construction

that complements and enhances the technology inside. High-grade components

are used for even the smallest elements such as the tactile,

minimalist buttons. However, the past also meets the present to bring back

a sense of analogue emotion with the switches and the sight of VU metres

bouncing as you listen. Furthermore, the dignified colours and form

of the equipment will surely help to create a prestigious aura wherever it is placed.

Technics has a proud and diverse heritage that we have used to establish

a new form of design identity that we hope will be equally loved over the years.

What type of presence should Technics have in the emotional act of listening

to high-quality audio? Our new design will surely provide

the answer at a single glance.

JENO Engine (Jitter Elimination and Noise-shaping Optimisation)

Jitter is a major cause of distortion in digital systems, and is caused by mis-timing in the

master clocks used in digital-to-analogue conversion. To eliminate the degradation of sound

caused by jitter, Technics has developed an original jitter reduction circuit, comprising a clock

generator in the noise-shaping system to reduce jitter in the low-frequency range and a

high-precision sample rate converter for suppressing jitter in the high-frequency range. Thus

it reduces jitter in an ideal way over the entire frequency range.

This works with a newly-developed and original high-precision PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)

conversion circuit, optimising the noise-shaping speed, the degree and requantisation

number, and the PWM gradation, in order to convert high-resolution signals to PWM without

causing any damage to the dynamic range. These new technologies enable new Technics

digital amplifier designs to reproduce the natural and delicate nuances of music.

GaN-FET Driver (High-speed and Low-impedance Power Devices)

In the speaker-driving section of the amplifier, Technics has employed a high-speed

GaN (gallium nitride) FET driver device with super-low resistance. This enables the

construction of a high-power amp using a single push-pull configuration, allowing the

length of the large current carrying signal path to be shortened, and resulting in

outstanding linearity regardless of the sound level.

Technics Digital Link (Original Digital Signal Transmission)

Some systems use a digital link between source component and pre-amplifier, keeping the digital

signal pure as long as possible: Technics Digital Link goes further. It has eliminated the volume

control function from the pre-amplifier, and instead transmits the volume control information,

together with the audio signal, directly to the power amplifier in digital form. The power amp's

jitter reduction circuit reduces any effect of jitter in signal transmission, then performs the

volume control immediately before the PWM converter. This new sound transmission interface,

Technics Digital Link, supports audio signals and also eradicates inter-channel effects by

transmitting the left and right channel signals separately. Technics Digital Link has achieved an

ideal amplifier configuration, minimising any degradation between the pre-amplifier and the

power amp, and resulting in superb stereo separation and reproduction of even the most subtle

signals. The result is a more detailed and dynamic sound.

LAPC (Load Adaptive Phase Calibration)

The impedance of a speaker is not constant: it varies according to frequency, thus

altering the loading on an amplifier and therefore potentially the sound. Technics is

able to measure an amplifier's frequency amplitude-phase characteristics with

speakers connected, and has developed a speaker impedance adaptive optimisation

algorithm using digital signal processing to achieve ideal impulse response.

Correction processing based on the new algorithm achieves a flat frequency response

for both amplitude and phase, not possible in conventional amps, and delivering a

sound with rich spatial expression.

High-speed Silent Linear Power Supply

The accurate reproduction of everything from dynamic and powerful sounds to the

low-level signals expressing delicate nuances requires a special power supply in an

amplifier. It needs to be both powerful and low-noise, as well as capable of responding

instantly to a continuously changing audio signal without any voltage fluctuation.

The power supply circuit of an ordinary amp consists of a large-capacity power

transformer and a rectifier circuit: after examining ways to achieve ideal voltage and

current waveforms, Technics decided to use a choke-input rectification, plus a discrete

stabilised power supply circuit. These technologies incorporated in the power supply

circuit enable the amp to drive the speakers powerfully under any conditions.

Battery Driven Clock Generator

The best power supply for delicate circuitry such as the clock generator in the new

amplifiers is one entirely isolated from any noise or fluctuations in the mains supply.

Technics has extensive experience in circuits using battery isolation, having used

them to create ultra-low-noise pre-amplifier stages in past analogue amplifiers.

Construction

Dual Mono Construction

The main amplifier layout separates the left and right channel signal paths completely,

all the way back to the secondary winding on the power transformer, to prevent

mutual interference and also achieve an ideal weight balance. This design gives

optimal stereo separation, and also allows the two channels to be laid out in ‘mirror

image’, giving equal signal-path lengths for each channel.

Signal Path Minimisation

The length of the signal path is kept as short as possible to improve the signal to noise

ratio, reduce potential sources of distortion and interference, and give the most direct

communication of the music.

High-Quality Parts

Large, newly designed speaker terminals enable the connection of thick cables, and

even the screws are high precision to ensure they remain tight, giving a firm and

reliable cable connection. The insulators are cast iron for high rigidity and an

excellent damping effect: this reduces both susceptibility to vibration, and the

transmission of any vibration to external devices.

20

SE-R1Stereo Power Amplifier

High Rigidity Metal Double Chassis

To support heavy parts and components and lower the centre of gravity for improved

stability, the inner chassis of the SE-R1 is made of 3-mm-thick plate, but the

amplifier uses a huge, and very heavy, mains transformer: to support this better and

reduce vibration, columns of die-cast aluminium are arranged at appropriate

intervals between the bottom inner chassis and outer chassis. The external casing is

made of a 7-mm-thick aluminium plate to resist the effect of electromagnetic noise.

Digital Noise Isolation Architecture

The SU-R1 Network Audio Control Player receives audio signals from various digital

content devices, such as NAS, PCs, USB memory devices and digital interfaces. Many of

these digital content storage systems were originally designed for use with PCs, so low

noise – which is required for pure audio reproduction – was never a main design concern.

To handle these often noisy sources, the SU-R1 isolates the interfaces for these media to

exclude external electrical interference, and also employs a jitter remover, thus offering

clear and stable sound, free from noise and distortion.

Technics Digital Link (Original Digital Signal Transmission)

Some systems use a digital link between source component and pre-amplifier, keeping the

digital signal pure as long as possible: Technics Digital Link goes further. It has eliminated

the volume control function from the pre-amplifier, and instead transmits the volume

control information, together with the audio signal, directly to the power amplifier in digital

form. The power amp's jitter reduction circuit reduces any effect of jitter in signal

transmission, then performs the volume control immediately before the PWM converter.

This new sound transmission interface, Technics Digital Link, supports audio signals and

also eradicates inter-channel effects by transmitting the left and right channel signals

separately. Technics Digital Link has achieved an ideal amplifier configuration, minimising any

degradation between the pre-amplifier and the power amp, and resulting in superb stereo

separation and reproduction of even the most subtle signals. The result is a more detailed and

dynamic sound.

Separated Analogue/Digital Power Supply

Dedicated low-noise R-core transformers* with excellent regulation characteristics

are used for the analogue and digital circuits, and the power supply is further isolated

to exclude any digital noise from the analogue circuits.*R-core transformer is a trademark of Kitamura Kiden Co., Ltd.

Ultra Low Distortion Oversampling Digital Filter

An oversampling digital filter, incorporating an original Technics algorithm, shifts

digital noise to -160 dB or lower, thus moving any potential distortion far beyond

hearing and leaving a rich, detailed sound.

Virtual Battery Operation

Virtual Battery Operation removes noise generated by the power supply circuit by

using a capacitor to fulfil the function of a battery: during playback, this capacitor

provides the power, taking the charging system out of circuit, and preventing supply

noise from mixing into the audio signal.

Various Inputs

The pre-amp section supports a wide range of digital input — DLNA, USB memory

devices, USB-DAC, SPDIF, AES/EBU — and two sets of analogue line signals. It

converts analogue signals to 192-kHz/24-bit PCM signals using the high-precision

A/D converter. The full-digital system achieves high-purity reproduction from any

content. The USB-DAC supports 384-kHz/32-bit PCM, 2.8-MHz/5.6-MHz DSD native

playback (analogue output) and asynchronous transmission. The digital input

supports coaxial 192-kHz/24-bit PCM and optical 96-kHz/24-bit. For DLNA/USB

memory device playback, DSD (2.8-MHz/5.6-MHz), WAV/AIFF/FLAC of up to 192 kHz

24 bits, and ALAC of up to 96 kHz 24 bits can be reproduced.

High-Quality Analogue I/O Circuit

The SU-R1 features Digital Noise Isolation Architecture, a high-precision clock generator

and independent high-precision Burr-Brown PCM1792 (Texas Instruments) digital to

analogue converters for left and right channels. The circuits after the D/A converter are of

a balanced configuration, using non-magnetic film resistors, low equivalent series

resistance capacitors and a high-quality LME49720 (Texas Instruments) OP amp.

Analogue inputs are converted to digital with the high-precision Burr-Brown PCM4220

(Texas Instruments) 192-kHz/24-bit A/D converter, allowing high-purity sound with digital

and analogue sources alike.

High Res Re-master

Technics has developed signal processing to increase both sampling frequency and

bit-depth: the High Res Re-master system converts audio signals to high-resolution

at up to 192 kHz/32 bits, to bring the listener closer to the original music.

Optimally Activated Circuit System

The Optimally Activated Circuit System allows the shutdown of various digital

modules – such as those used for display, network, USB and digital interfaces – to

minimise the noise generated when music is playing.

Point-Sound-Source Speaker System

For soundstage focus and precise imaging, the wave-fronts from a speaker’s drive units

should ideally be aligned, arriving simultaneously at the listener’s ears regardless of the

listening position. In other words, the speaker system should appear to have have only one

point sound source.

The newly developed flat coaxial two-way speaker unit, combining midrange and treble

drivers, works with a virtual coaxial woofer to realise a point sound source, providing

smooth directional characteristics over the entire frequency range, without peaks or dips.

Phase Precision Driver (Flat Coaxial 2-Way Speaker Unit)

For faithful reproduction of mid-range and high-frequency sound, Technics has

developed an all-new flat coaxial two-way drive. The flat mid-range diaphragm is of a

sandwich construction, using lightweight, high-rigidity carbon cloth skins and

aluminium honeycomb core.

It maintains a perfect pistonic motion over a frequency band extending beyond the

crossover point with the tweeter, while eliminating the frequency distortions caused

by the ‘cavity effect’ in conventional cone diaphragms. The magnetic circuit employs

a large magnet, copper cap, copper shorting ring and short voice coil with

high-density edgewise winding to achieve high drive power and low distortion, while

the speaker chassis is die-cast aluminium, with a resonance-dispersing structure to

eliminate even the smallest unwanted vibration.

SB-R1Speaker System

High-Quality Network Circuit

The High-Quality Network Circuit was created as a result of extensive designing and

listening, in order to maximise the performance of each speaker unit and achieve a

balanced sound. To prevent interference between the drive units and minimise the

effect of vibration, separate network boards for woofer, mid-range and tweeter are

optimally arranged inside the cabinet.

Ultra Wide Range Reproduction

Thanks to a carbon graphite dome tweeter mounted at the centre of the flat

mid-range drive unit, the SB-R1 is capable of reproducing frequencies all the way up

to 100 kHz. And with bass extension down to 20 Hz, it’s ready to deliver the vast

frequency spectrum offered by high-quality, high-resolution music sources.

Low Distortion 16-cm Long Stroke Woofer

Technics has developed a long-throw woofer capable of reproducing super-low

frequencies with dramatically reduced distortion, giving powerful, dynamic and

responsive bass. A push-pull edge (Symmetrical Surround Technology, SST) design

cancels secondary harmonic distortion in the low-frequency range.

SB-R1Speaker System

High Rigidity Round Form Cabinet

A 50-mm-thick baffle used in the cabinet supports the speaker units rigidly and

suppresses undesirable resonances, while side panels comprising eight layers of

MDF give the cabinet a curved form, suppressing unwanted vibration and reducing

internal and external diffraction and reflection.

An internal partition divides the cabinet into upper and lower sections, and eliminates

low-order standing waves in the vertical direction. The choice of absorbent acoustic

material and its position were optimised based on the frequency band of each

drive-unit as well as the cabinet volume, thus further suppressing standing waves

inside the cabinet, and even the rings round each drive unit are made of a material

with high internal loss to eliminate unwanted emitting from anywhere other than the

speaker sound diaphragm.

The glossy finish on the cabinet is created through a series of processes including repeated

coating, sanding, and polishing, the high degree of craftsmanship complementing the

speakers’ high-quality sound. The finish even suppresses fine vibrations generated on

the cabinet surface, thus contributing to the accuracy of the sound.

SU-C700Stereo Integrated Amplifier

JENO Engine (Jitter Elimination and Noise-shaping Optimisation)

Just like the R1, the SU-C700 is a fully-digital amplifier and delivers high-resolution

digital signals without any distortion being introduced between the input stage and output

to the speakers. Technics has developed an original jitter-reduction circuit, avoiding the

sound quality degradation due to jitter common to conventional digital amps. It uses a

clock generator for the noise-shaping system to reduce jitter in the low-frequency range

and a high-precision sample rate converter to suppress jitter in the high-frequency range.

LAPC (Load Adaptive Phase Calibration)

Technics has developed a speaker impedance optimisation algorithm, using digital signal

processing to flatten both the amplitude and phase-frequency response to make the most

of your speakers. The result is a sound with better focus, spaciousness and definition.

High-speed Silent Linear Power Supply

Using a large-current Schottky-barrier diode, a rectifier circuit with electrolytic

capacitors, and a stabilised power supply circuit, the SU-C700 ensures ample power

supply at all times, even when dynamic music demands high current.

Battery Driven Clock Generator

Technics used battery power for low-noise applications in analogue amplifiers in the

past: here, this same technology is used to improve digital clock precision, enhancing

the definition of the sound.

Various Inputs

The SU-C700 supports a wide range of inputs, such as SPDIF, Analogue and Phono, as

well as USB-DAC for connection of a PC. The digital input terminal supports coaxial

192-kHz/24-bit PCM and optical 96-kHz/24-bit. The USB DAC input terminal supports

192-kHz 32-bit PCM and 2.8-MHz/5.6-MHz DSD native playback (analogue output) and

asynchronous transmission. The SU-C700 converts analogue signals to high-precision

192-kHz/24-bit PCM signals using the A/D converter. The full-digital system achieves

high-purity reproduction from any content.

Digital Noise Isolation Architecture

Just like the R1 series, the ST-C700 employs a jitter remover, a common mode filter

for its LAN input, and a pulse transformer for its digital interface, thus improving the

purity of its sound by blocking the entry of external noise.

Virtual Battery Operation

Virtual Battery Operation reduces noise generated by the power supply circuit by

using the reference potential generating circuit for charging the capacitor.

Optimally Activated Circuit System

The Optimally Activated Circuit System shuts down unneeded digital modules, such

as those for display, network, USB and digital interfaces, to minimise the noise

generated during playback.

High Res Re-master

Technics High Res Re-master converts an audio source to a high-resolution signal of

up to 192 kHz/32 bits, pushing the effects of any digital noise beyond the audible band,

and allowing natural and expressive sound, closer to the original music.

Ultra Low Distortion Oversampling Digital Filter

The oversampling digital filter incorporating Technics' original algorithm accurately

removes the image to the -160 dB level or lower by using an oversampling digital

filter, thus reproducing sound rich with spatial expression.

High-Quality Analogue Circuits

The ST-C700 uses Technics’ low-noise Digital Noise Isolation Architecture,

a high-precision clock, and a high-precision D/A converter (Burr-Brown PCM1795

(Texas Instruments)). The analogue circuits use high-quality components for the

purest possible sound.

Ultra Wide Range Reproduction

The Technics Speaker System is capable of reproducing sound over the ultra-wide

frequency range of up to 100 kHz to deliver the vast frequency spectrum offered by

high-quality, high-resolution music sources. The result is a faithful reproduction of

audio signals with all nuances intact.

The High-Quality Network Circuit was created as a result of extensive designing and

listening, in order to maximise the performance of each speaker unit and achieve a balanced

sound. To prevent interference between the drive units and minimise the effect of vibration,

separate network boards for woofer and tweeter are optimally arranged inside the cabinet.

The flat coaxial two-way speaker drive unit is an original Technics development, designed for

the faithful reproduction of mid-range and high-frequency sound. The flat woofer diaphragm

has a sandwich-structure using lightweight, high-rigidity carbon fibre skins and a honeycomb

core, and is designed for a highly accurate pistonic motion over a frequency range extending

beyond the crossover frequency with the tweeter, thus ensuring smooth integration.

The flat design eliminates the frequency anomalies due to the cavity effect caused by

conventional cone diaphragms, while the magnetic circuit employs a large magnet, copper

cap and shorting ring, and a short voice coil with concentrated edgewise winding for high

power with low distortion. The drive unit chassis is in highly rigid die-cast aluminium, with

the chassis ‘legs’ having a resonance dispersing structure to eliminate even the smallest

unwanted vibration, to help the drive unit deliver accurate and powerful bass.

High Rigidity Entasis Form CabinetPhase Precision Driver (Flat Coaxial 2-Way Speaker Unit)

The SB-C700 cabinet is designed to support the Point Source drive units securely,

preventing unwanted resonance and ensuring a smooth flow of sound without diffraction

or reflection. The front baffle is designed for maximum stiffness and resonance-damping,

while the side panels are convex high-rigidity boards with a maximum 42-mm thickness,

designed to damp down resonance while also preventing internal reflections.

The monocoque cabinet offers high rigidity, as each side of the cubic structure reinforces

the adjacent panels. This reduces unwanted resonance by controlling the movement of the

individual panels, as well as that of the structure as a whole, while internal acoustic

absorbent material was selected, and its position optimised, to suit both a drive unit and

the cabinet volume, thus suppressing undesired standing waves.

The bass reflex port on the rear panel is of a ‘parabola’ design, its curvature continuously

varying from the inlet to the outlet to suppress turbulence at the exit as well flow-noise

within the port, thus delivering smooth and powerful bass sound with minimum noise.

The glossy cabinet is created by repeated coating, sanding, polishing and finishing with a

high degree of craftsmanship. This creates a cabinit not just attractive to look at, but also

able to suppress fine vibrations generated at the enclosure surface, thus contributing to

the accuracy of its sound.

High-Quality Network Circuit

SB-C700Speaker System

Point-Sound-Source Speaker System

Technics’ newly developed flat coaxial two-way speaker unit combines a tweeter for

high frequencies and a woofer for mid-range and bass. Because the tweeter is at the

centre of the woofer, the speaker acts as a point sound source, providing a coherent,

integrated sound across the frequency range, without directional anomalies. As a

result, the Technics Speaker System deliver a live superb soundstage focus, excellent

imaging and the ambience required to deliver the ‘live music’ experience.

converters to achieve highly precise digital synchronisation, resulting in accurate

playback. Independent high-precision Burr-Brown PCM1795 (Texas Instruments) digital

to analogue converters are used for each channel.

A symmetrical analogue layout eliminates interference between the left and right channels,

while keeping signal paths as short as possible to prevent signal loss during transmission.

High Rigidity Metal Double Chassis

To reduce vibration and noise that degrade the purity of sound, the Premium Series

features a High Rigidity Metal Double Chassis, using inner and outer steel plates.
