Marantz Chooses Tripath's Class-T Audio Amplifiers; TA3020 Featured in Latest Professional Amplifier.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2003 Tripath Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: TRPH TRPH Total Recoverable Petroleum Hydrocarbons ) creators of Digital Power Processing (DPP DPP - Dining Philosophers Problem (R)), announced today its Class-T(TM) 1-bit digital audio amplifier has been chosen by Marantz for their new DA04 professional amplifier. Tripath's TA3020 digital audio amplifier will enable a 4-channel x 100W (4 ohm ohm (ōm) [for G. S. Ohm], unit of electrical resistance, defined as the resistance in a circuit in which a potential difference of one volt creates a current of one ampere; hence, 1 ohm equals 1 volt/ampere. ) system in a compact 400 watt amplifier chassis. The Marantz system is approximately 44mm tall and is extraordinarily light compared with conventional professional amplifiers. With Tripath's TA3020 amplifier, Marantz's DA04 system realizes clear sound, almost half the energy consumption of a conventional professional amplifier, and natural heat dissipation without a cooling fan. Tripath's patented signal processing techniques are combined with a switching mode approach that generates high fidelity sound with significantly lower heat dissipation making it ideal for compact design applications such as Marantz's latest professional amplifier. Tripath's broad line of Class-T(TM) advanced 1-bit digital amplifiers are rapidly gaining market acceptance within high growth consumer electronics categories such as DVD DVD: see digital versatile disc. DVD in full digital video disc or digital versatile disc Type of optical disc. The DVD represents the second generation of compact-disc (CD) technology. and CD receivers, home entertainment systems, set-top boxes, personal computers, automotive head units and flat panel TVs. These tightly integrated Class-T(TM) based designs set a new standard for high power, exceptional sound quality and high efficiency. Marantz joins a list of other industry giants who have chosen Class-T(TM) as their digital amplifier technology such as Apex Digital, Apple, Fujitsu, Motorola, Panasonic, and Sony. "We are pleased to have Marantz, one of the premier names in high-end audio, choose our Class-T amplifiers for their latest product," said Dr. Adya Tripathi, Chairman, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. for Tripath. "Tripath's Class-T advanced 1-bit technology delivers high power and high quality sound while meeting the demanding requirements for multiple consumer electronic applications that are quite sensitive to space-constraints, heat dissipation, and energy efficiency." About Advanced Class-T(TM) 1-bit Sigma Delta Digital Audio Amplifiers Tripath's advanced Class-T(TM) 1-bit digital audio amplifiers rely on a fundamentally new approach to amplifier design utilizing semiconductor-based amplifiers that provide significant performance, power efficiency, size, weight and cost advantages over traditional amplifier technology. Instead of conventional pulse width modulation See PWM. , Class-T(TM) employs multiple signal processing techniques, including adaptive/predicative processing, noise shaping, pre-distortion and sigma delta modulation. About Tripath Technology Based in San Jose, California San Jose (IPA: /ˌsænhoʊˈzeɪ/) is the third-largest city in California, and the tenth-largest in the United States. It is the county seat of Santa Clara County. , Tripath Technology Inc. owns the proprietary technology called Digital Power Processing (DPP) technology, which combines modern advances in digital signal processing See DSP. Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled). and power processing. Tripath's current products target audio applications with sales to leading consumer electronic and computer companies, such as Sony, APEX, Hitachi, Blaupunkt and Apple Computer; as well as DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary communications equipment providers, such as Alcatel, with Tripath's low power line drivers for central office applications.
