High-voltage preamp output
ECLIPSE audio philosophy emphasises high performance so both the CD8445E and CD5425E are designed to deliver ideal electrical characteristics. Doing so allows downstream amplifiers to be driven optimally to deliver the best performance with minimal noise and distortion.
CD8445E: 8V at 55
MOSFET 50W 4 power amplification
Natural-sounding and dynamic, MOSFETs are used in both CD Receivers because they draw less current and also require less power.
Advanced 24-bit DAC
All signals remain strictly in the digital domain till they are converted to analogue to drive the power amplification section, minimising distortion and improving S/N ratios.
Multi-Harmonizer
Ideal for obtaining the best sound from MP3, WMA and ATRAC3 music files, this function can be activated to restore the harmonic data that is lost when digital music files are encoded.
Clear and legible VF display
Sharp displays
The CD8445E has an 8-step full dot Vacuum Fluorescent (VF) display for extremely legible alphanumeric characters and a separate Bright & Dimmer control.
5-pattern illumination
Allows the user to select a colour that best complements the car's interior or just to suit user preferences.

Blue+Red/Blue+Amber/Blue+Green/All Green/All Red

Circle Surround II
An innovative audio technology that generates multichannel sound from any audio source including CDs and MP3s to enjoy on a conventional 4-speaker system, Circle Surround II is an ideal for mobile environments as it includes two other advantages. Focus can be switched in so that the stereo soundfield is perceived to be higher and aimed at the listener(s) from the front as in home systems. This overcomes the problems of most in-car speakers that are positioned low and to the sides. TruBass, a technology based on psychoacoustics and scientific knowledge is especially welcome, allowing small speakers to be perceived as generating impressive bass frequencies without requiring a costly subwoofer.
Customise at 2 levels — Pro Mode for precise adjustments or Pro Mode off for easy grouped parameter choices.
Twin Security System

Featured in both models, ECLIPSE’s proven theft-deterrent feature works with a user-designated CD or Memory Stick (CD8445E only) as a key device to lock the system and prevent activation in the case of removal or unauthorized access.
Detachable Front Panel
The front panel detaches and is compact, allowing users another level of security and deterrence. |
