bandwidth with low signal compression.

Player. It checks itself 50 times per minute. The Electro-Power™ also checks every 10 minutes the right function and

electronic stability of the whole system.

The Motor controlled by the innovative Electro-Power™ enables the CD player to lower the speed fluctuation to less than

0,0001% in any electrical system within 100 to 260 volt range.

Finally, the Electro-Power™ galvanically isolates the CD Player to guarantee the best sound performances available.

Constructionfeatures

This section describes the special features of the KOALA CD Player , the construction features, the reasons for the technical choices and the

originality of the design.

-The KOALA is a CD Player made in a standard 19” wide chassis.

-The chassis is particulary heavy to help disppating vibration feedback.

-N.B.: acrylic is inert, especially rigid material which makes it ideal for absorbing vibrations. With their extremely elevated technical and

sound characteristics these materials are easily subjected to small surface scratches. Particular care must therefore be paid to clean the

platter and the CD Player with a very soft cloth. Avoid the use of any type of solvent. Despite not making use of mats, the platter will

not ruin new vinyl records and creates a perfect coupling with it.
