Hybrid Feedback Digital Amplifier
The JVC-original digital amp is used for high-grade JVC home audio products. In addition to delivering more power and superior efficiency, this device conducts two feedback processes: digital and analog. The former generates highly precise PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signals, and the latter further "brushes up" the analog signals to ensure that the waveform of the signal at output is identical to the original. This results in even lower distortion and significantly improved speaker drivability.
