The CD960 compact disc player incorporates only the most uncompromising components
because it has been designed by the world's most uncompromising audiophiles:
Philips engineers. The same engineering exerts who invented compact disc technology.
Superior digital-to-analogue conversion. It comes as no surprise that the heart of the CD960 is the Philips dual 16-bit D/A converter chip. The TDA1541 select version. A chip so refined it substantially improves low-level linearity, flawlessly reproducing even the quietest passages with a clarity never before achieved.
This exceptional D/A converter is mated to a Philips 4X oversampling digital filter for superior performance. Philips pioneered 4X oversampling and our experience with digital filtering is unequalled.
Broadcast standard "Radialinear" transport. Philips commitment to exacting specifications is also evident in the CD960's mechanical construction. It features a high-grade cast alloy chassis. A linear-design motor was chosen to drive the radial pivoting arm for fast track access and exceptional resistance to external vibrations.
Multiple power supplies. To eliminate cross talk, the CD960 incorporates no less than four separate power supply sections. And the 100-watt main transformer is partitioned to further shield against magnetic and power line interference.
From the company that created the compact disc, Philips proudly offers the CD960 for those who won't tolerate anything, less than perfection. To audition the CD960, call 1-800-223-7772 for your nearest Philips audio specialist.
WORLD-CLASS TECHNOLOGY. EUROPEAN EXCELLENCE.
