LPF (Low-Pass Filter)
For optimal subwoofer performance, Clarion equips its DXZ866MP with a built-in Low-Pass Filter. Offering
users selectable frequencies at 50 Hz, 80 Hz, and 120 Hz, Clarion’s Low-Pass Filter stops mid- and high-
range frequencies from entering the subwoofer output. This allows users to really dial in the bass so it hits
harder, tighter and cleaner.
MOS-FET power amplifier
There’s only one way for Clarion’s DXZ866MP to deliver 4
×
53 W of unyielding power output and superior
linearity: MOS-FET amplification, also known as Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor ampli-
fication. Smaller and more efficient than conventional power supplies, this MOS-FET amplification circuit
delivers power with less distortion and zero On/Off switching noise. So crank it up, or turn it down for easy
listening. Either way, with MOS-FET amplification, your music has never sounded quite like this.
Around the MOS-FET’s centrally
located S-GND, the power and GND
are both separated into L-ch and R-ch,
and the Power IC is driven separately.

ADF (Anti Distortion Filter)
Don’t let sound-hindering factors such as road noise and rushing wind get in the way of great sound.
Because the vehicle tends to make it difficult to hear high and low frequencies, Clarion outfits its high-
end main units with an Anti Distortion Filter. This filter eliminates mutual phase distortion that can occur,
and emphasises the natural frequency characteristics of the sound. The result is crystal clear, high-quality
sound reproduction.
Optimedia display
The DXZ866MP offers Clarion’s next-generation Optimedia display technology  a feature that blends
impeccable graphics with touch-screen control. Remastered, Optimedia display has evolved from its first-
generation monochrome look to full colour in 2006. We didn’t stop there, however. The motion graphics this
technology offers are vastly improved, and the revamped onscreen layouts make navigating through the
unit’s menu screens easy. For unparalleled looks and control …. Optimedia display.

24-bit D/A converter
A key component in the transfer of digital data from a CD into analogue sound is Clarion’s 24-bit D/A
converter. Because the digital realm is made up of unnaturally square sound waves, as opposed to the
smoothly undulating sound waves characteristic of the real-world environment, Clarion’s embedded 24-bit
D/A converter recreates the natural nuances and expressions lost during the sound reproduction process.
