The audio signal for each channel in the system remains digital all the way to the voice coil, ensuring that high-resolution digital audio is maintained without loss or added noise and artifacts from analog connections.
“With the growing trend toward high-resolution lossless audio, we designed the NX706 for customers who want the absolute best possible sound quality from their car audio system” said Allen H. Gharapetian, Vice President of Marketing and Product Planning for Clarion Corporation of America. “Not only did we add support for high-resolution FLAC files, but we also included a digital optical output for those looking to pair the advanced functionality of this center unit with the crystal-clear performance provided by our Full Digital Sound components system. This full digital signal capability from source to speaker is an industry first for aftermarket car audio systems and the sound quality provided by it is breathtaking. To push the envelope further, we implemented an audiophile quality 15-band parametric EQ for our customers to achieve that ‘perfect’ sound. The NX706 continues Clarion’s tradition of driving and building products capable of uncompromising audio quality.”
