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.
05
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.

 Innovation is in Our DNA
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.
07
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.

 Timeless Design in Every Detail
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.
09
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

High-Quality Analogue I/O Circuit High Res Re-master Various Inputs

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.
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.
1 kHz / -90 dB / 16 bit
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.

Point-Sound-Source Speaker System Phase Precision Driver (Flat Coaxial 2-Way Speaker Unit) Ultra Wide Range Reproduction

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.
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.
Carbon Graphite Dome Tweeter up to 100 kHz
Coupling Cone
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.
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.

Point-Sound-Source Speaker System Phase Precision Driver (Flat Coaxial 2-Way Speaker Unit) High Rigidity Entasis Form Cabinet High-Quality Network Circuit

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.
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.
Aluminium Dome Tweeter up to 100 kHz

The SB-C700 cabinet is designed to support the Point Source drive units securely, The High-Quality Network Circuit was created as a result of extensive designing and
preventing unwanted resonance and ensuring a smooth flow of sound without diffraction listening, in order to maximise the performance of each speaker unit and achieve a balanced

while the side panels are convex high-rigidity boards with a maximum 42-mm thickness, separate network boards for woofer and tweeter are optimally arranged inside the cabinet.
designed to damp down resonance while also preventing internal reflections.
The monocoque cabinet offers high rigidity, as each side of the cubic structure reinforces
