'We have a very high standard for audio sound quality, and TI's digital amplifier technology was the only solution that met our requirements', said Bo Lustrup, Kiss Technology's Marketing Manager.
'The sound quality on our DVD receiver is crucial, and TI's digital amplifier helps us get the maximum sound quality, while keeping size to a minimum.
The development of the DP-470 DVD receiver with DivX playback in co-operation with TI has been a good experience and the support from TI has been excellent'.
The DVD receivers employ TI's TAS5110, a 50W digital amplifier power stage with an integrated H-bridge, and the TAS5026, a six-channel pulsewidth-modulator (PWM) processor, both specifically designed for the DVD receiver market.
The TAS5110 provides low thermal dissipation with efficiencies up to 90%.
The TAS5026 provides a system signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of up to 96dB and optimises the implementation costs of digital amplifiers in multichannel systems.
Together, this chipset provides a complete digital amplifier solution.
Jamo's award winning DVR 50 DVD receiver has already been named a 'Test winner', 'Best buy', 'Editors choice' and 'All-in-one system of the year' by a number of leading European consumer electronics magazines for its exceptional audio fidelity.
Jamo Executive Brand Director, Leif Schmucker, attributes a share of the product's success to TI.
'We evaluated extensively the available digital amp offerings in the market and found that TI's tight bass, expressive mid-range and clear high-end was far and away the best technology in the market', Schmucker said.
