The DXZ866MP is one of two new main units offering Clarion’s next-generation Optimedia display technology

- a feature that blends impeccable graphics with touch-screen control. Remastered, Optimedia

display has evolved from its first-generation monochrome look to full colour in 2006. We didn’t stop there,

however. The motion graphics this technology offers are vastly improved, and the revamped onscreen

layouts make navigating through the unit’s menu screens easy. For unparalleled looks and control ... Optimedia

Don’t let sound-hindering factors such as road noise and rushing wind get in the way of great sound. Because the vehicle tends to make it difficult to hear high and low frequencies, Clarion outfits its highend main units with an Anti Distortion Filter. This filter eliminates mutual phase distortion that can occur, and emphasises the natural frequency characteristics of the sound. The result is crystal clear, high-quality sound reproduction.

For optimal subwoofer performance, Clarion equips its DXZ866MP with a built-in Low-Pass Filter. Offering users selectable frequencies at 50 Hz, 80 Hz, and 120 Hz, Clarion’s Low-Pass Filter stops mid- and highrange frequencies from entering the subwoofer output. This allows users to really dial in the bass so it hits harder, tighter and cleaner.

There’s only one way for Clarion’s DXZ866MP to deliver 4 × 53 W of unyielding power output and superior linearity: MOS-FET amplification, also known as Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor amplification. Smaller and more efficient than conventional power supplies, this MOS-FET amplification circuit delivers power with less distortion and zero On/Off switching noise. So crank it up, or turn it down for easy listening. Either way, with MOS-FET amplification, your music has never sounded quite like this.

A key component in the transfer of digital data from a CD into analogue sound is Clarion’s 24-bit D/A converter. Because the digital realm is made up of unnaturally square sound waves, as opposed to the smoothly undulating sound waves characteristic of the real-world environment, Clarion’s embedded 24-bit D/A converter recreates the natural nuances and expressions lost during the sound reproduction process.
