Sound technology

6-volt/6-channel output

Equipped with 6V/6ch outputs for reproduction of sources with high sound quality. Together with crossover settings, it can be used to output to various speaker systems like Front 2ch + Rear 2ch + Subwoofer 2ch.

212 watts MOS-FET power amplifier

There’s only one way for Clarion’s DXZ788RUSB to deliver 4-channel × 53 watts of unyielding power output and superior linearity: MOS-FET amplification, or, otherwise known as Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transmitter amplification. Smaller and more efficient than conventional power supplies, this MOS-FET amplification circuitry delivers power with less distortion and zero On/Off switching noise. So turn it up or down for easy listening. MOS-FET amplification — your music has never sounded better.

Subwoofer volume control

The dedicated subwoofer volume and level control gives you more control over your system’s bass performance. This even includes a low pass crossover which, when selected (50Hz/80Hz/120Hz selectable), turns the rear channel RCA line level outputs into dedicated subwoofer outputs.

Digital Time Alignment with 3-way Crossover

To achieve optimum sonic imaging, each speaker should be mounted the same distance from the listening position. Unfortunately, this is almost impossible within the environment of a vehicle. Digital Time Alignment digitally delays the sound from each speaker to effectively align the speakers for perfect imaging. The 3-way crossover separates the audio spectrum into different bands to optimise each speaker’s frequency response and minimise phase cancellation.The 3-way crossover optimises each speaker’s output range resulting in natural and smooth transitions between frequency ranges.

Sound Restorer

Hear your music the way it was meant to be heard. Clarion’s Sound Restorer recreates the high frequency information that is lost during compression. The result is clear and detailed sound.

Digital Z-Enhancer

Clarion’s Digital Z-Enhancer controls P-EQ, HPF, and LPF through the DSP, allowing you to select from three equalising patterns that emphasise the range of tones in the treble and bass regions respectively while maintaining perfect acoustic balance. Furthermore, by adding gain adjustment (HI, MID, LOW) to the 3 equalising patterns, it is now possible to choose from 9 different equalising patterns to customise the sound quality pattern so that it matches your speaker system or selected music source perfectly.

3-band parametric EQ

Lets you adjust the equalisation of each frequency band independently for the front and rear speakers.

Crossover

Separates the sound spectrum into different bands so you can minimise peaking and phase cancellation, which can result in muddy sound when using a 2-way or 3-way speaker system. X-over circuitry also optimises each output range, resulting in more natural and smoother transitions between ranges. And since it’s built-in, it requires no additional equipment or expertise. The cut-off frequency, filter, slope and phase can be adjusted for each band, enabling precise sound tuning. You can also set a Time Alignment value for each speaker for optimal sound matched to the vehicle’s acoustics.

SPEAKER SETTING

  • Normal: F2ch + R2ch + SW2ch
  • 3-way: HI2ch + MID2ch + SW2ch
  • 2-way: Hi2ch + MID2ch + R2ch

24-bit D/A converter

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 24-bit D/A converter recreates the natural nuances and expressions lost during the sound reproduction process.

Built-in High Pass/Low Pass Crossovers

Built-in High Pass crossovers let your front and rear speakers reproduce the proper frequencies for natural sound and efficient power handling. The DXZ788RUSB also has a Low Pass filter with selectable crossover frequencies of 50, 80 or 120Hz, coupled with a Subwoofer Level Control to enable full adjustment and control of a connected subwoofer for maximum system performance.
