AKAI GX COMPO 930 (1988) | DOISYS Interface

The AKAI GX COMPO 930. A luxurious system meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail, designed to create an ideal sonic paradise. The GX COMPO's top-of-the-line MU-930 is a luxurious collection of components, each boasting a high level of perfection. The speakers, in particular, feature an unparalleled design of resonance-free and high rigidity. The side wood used in all components not only adds elegance and sophistication befitting a high-end system, but also serves as part of the highly rigid construction aimed at even more effective vibration dispersion. But perhaps the most luxurious feature is the inclusion of a digital and optical interface system. Beyond the crystal-clear digital sound reproduced by a transmission method that eliminates any sound degradation, one can almost hear the exhilaration of the performers' spirits. The ideal transmission method for preserving the purity of digital signals: Digital & Optical Interface System. Conventional analog transmission methods inevitably suffer from sound quality degradation due to distortion caused by cable materials and connected devices, and deterioration of phase characteristics due to capacitors. Therefore, digital transmission, which converts signals into a simple combination of 1s and 0s, emerged. However, as long as coaxial cables are used, the problems of unwanted radiation and external noise induction remain unresolved. Furthermore, in simultaneous analog/digital connection methods, complete electrical isolation is not achieved due to coexistence with analog circuits, and signal influence via ground lines, etc., remains a problem. The digital & optical interface system (DOISYS) adopted by GX COMPO is an ideal signal transmission method that takes digital transmission a step further. Because it converts digital signals into light and transmits them via fiber optic cables, sufficient electrical isolation between connected devices is achieved, and theoretically, sound quality degradation due to cable materials is impossible, allowing high-purity digital sources to be extracted with their original quality. This connection is used to connect the CD player and DAT recorder to the system amplifier. The shown components of the GX COMPO 930 System are: AT-M730L Quartz Synthesizer FM-Stereo tuner, CD-M930 CD player, AM-M930 Digital Stereo Integrated amplifier, AD-M930 Digital Audio Tape deck and GX-M950W Stereo Double Cassette Deck featuring GX heads and CRLP (Computer Recording Level Processing System).

MITSUBISHI E-404 (1984) | Hearing is Believing

What separates the Mitsubishi E-404 from conventional systems isn't the fact that it includes a digital audio disc player, or a linear-tracking programmable turntable, or a dual-transport cassette recorder, or, for that matter, a digitally-synthesized tuner/receiver with graphic equalizer. No, what makes this system unlike any other is a full-function wireless remote control, providing total access, total control of an astonishing number of operations, all from the comfort of your easy chair. The E-404's detachable control panel, called appropriately enough the System Commander, integrates the convenience of infrared remote control with the intelligence of micro-processor technology. (The result is not unlike having a computer run your stereo for you.) With the System Commander cradled conveniently in your lap, you can select a "program" of up to 9 cuts from the phonograph. Or you can punch in a 9-selection program from a pre-recorded audio cassette. And from the compact disc, you can choose a program of another 9 selections. From any of these sources, you can pick your selections to play in any sequence you wish-last cut first, first last, whatever. You can even arrange to have a program of up to 9 selections recorded on a blank cassette, each cut evenly spaced for professional sounding results. Though the possibilities presented by the E-404 may at first seem overwhelming, its operation is, in fact, quite simple. Selections are entered via the System Commander touchpad. When a command is given, the function requested is visually displayed on the tuner/receiver, accompanied by an affirmative "beep" response (if a mistake is made, two "beeps" are sounded). Once the E-404 has been programmed, playback is fully automatic, randomly selecting the cuts you've chosen from the source you've chosen-be it phono, cassette, or compact disc. Hearing is Believing. If you're impressed by what the E-404 can do, you'll be equally impressed by how it does it. The E-404 is designed to interface with a personal computer. It even offers a self-test program that lets you know if every function is performing properly. The AM/FM stereo receiver, delivering 35 watts minimum RMS per channel, offers auto search with 18 station presets. The compact disc player employs a three-beam optical pickup (in place of the conventional single beam) ensuring stable, error-free tracking. Its speakers are three-way bookshelf type capable of frequency response from 40 to 25,000 Hz. The E-404's twin cassette decks feature Dolby® B noise reduction with logic-controlled transport and cassette-to-cassette dubbing at double speed.

The digital straight concept, which focuses on the straightforward reproduction of the dynamics and transparent high quality of the original digital source, has reached a new high level with Private PRO-X1. This is the digital straight technology, which combines a digital output CD player with optical digital transmission system, and a digital amplifier with a built-in D/A converter. The digital signal from the CD is sent to the amplifier via optical fiber without being affected by electrical or external noise. As a result, the overwhelming dynamics and breathtaking transparency of the original digital source are reproduced in a straightforward manner. The 120W+120W integrated amplifier with built-in D/A converter boasts superb audio characteristics achieved through direct construction in pursuit of simple and straightforward circuitry. It also comes equipped with a CD/DAT direct circuit. Other high-quality features that can only be found on a PRO amplifier include a highly rigid honeycomb chassis (also used on decks and CD players) and gold-plated terminals (DAT output). The FM/AM/TV 3-band tuner features a luxurious DDD circuit for FM, an AM servo that also focuses on AM sound, and optimal microcomputer control. The twin recording/playback W reverse deck is equipped with twin Dolby HX Pro, which is a hot topic for recording digital sources. The speakers are 24cm 3-way speakers that emphasize deep bass reproduction, with a carbon cloth woofer and HE titanium domes for the midrange and tweeter. Motor-driven volume control for the amplifier. Auto program ED IT function for tape editing on the CD player, and a luxurious FL display with calendar display. The twin recording/playback W reverse decks are equipped with a quick reverse system and an electronic counter. There is also a timer for the 3-band tuner. This is truly a professional private PRO-X1. You can relax and enjoy its diverse high performance with the remote control.
