DVA T4 The DVA T4 is equipped with unique digital power amps thatprovide a total of 420W RMS. Driven by Digipro® technology,their resolution is several-fold that of conventional digital amps.They render signals very accurately with this high-definition audiocapability.

Sonic images are almost impossible to distinguish from those ofanalogsources,evenintheHFrange.Theampsareequippedwithhigh-qualitydelta-sigmaconverters.

The DVA T4‘sdigitalpowerampfeaturesDPP™(DigitalPowerProcessing) technology and a multiband compressor/ limiter withseparateresponsecurvesforeachsignalpath. Itsdynamicrangeisexceptionallywide.

For example, headroom in the middle and high-frequency bandsranges up to 22dB. This innovative circuitry not only maximizesdynamicresponse,italsoensuressignalsarerenderedaccuratelyanduniformlyevenatthresholdlevels.
