The science of passion: Innovation is a combination of major technological breakthroughs and smaller, detail-level enhancements. To deliver the right combination of power, performance, flexibility and ease of use, Harman Kardon has always sought to strike a balance. We carefully weigh the development of key enhancements of the basic underpinnings of audio and video technology against the importance of making these enhancements accessible to both the advanced audiophile and the home theater novice. More muscle for maximum punch: High Current Capability Watts per channel is an incomplete measure of amplifier power. In terms of dynamic range and impact, it's current that counts. HCC is an overall design approach encompassing everything from transformer design and storage capacitor size to discrete output circuitry and minimal use of negative feedback. This electronic equivalent of a high-torque, high-displacement racing engine results in audible benefits. You enjoy tighter bass, superb transient response and enhanced presence at any volume level. 8 A better approach to sound: Logic 7® When the engineers at Harman Kardon set out to find ways to improve the playback of multichannel sound, they came up with significant improvements that build upon recent advancements in digital technology and take them to the next level: Logic 7.® Originally developed for high-end processors and now featured in luxury automobiles, Logic 7 processing is now part of every A/V receiver we offer. With Logic 7, proprietary digital algorithms are used to create a more cohesive and enveloping sound field from the tens of thousands of analog matrix soundtracks currently available. Logic 7 is not only capable of resolving either five or seven channels from a two-channel source; it increases the accuracy with which sounds are directed to the center and surround channels, for more precise reproduction of the original soundtrack. When only two will do: VMAx® Despite the marketplace focus on multichannel surround sound, there are still many situations where it is only possible to include two speakers in a room's environment - thus sacrificing the benefits of a 360° sonic presentation. Harman Kardon has solved that problem with its exclusive implementation of VMAx® technology in both multichannel receivers and stereo receivers. Using a series of complex calculations based on intensive research into the way sounds are heard and processed by the brain, VMAx creates a three-dimensional sound field using only conventional left and right front speakers. The result is sound that fills a room and puts you at front row, center.

Innovation is a combination of major
technological breakthroughs and
smaller, detail-level enhancements.
To deliver the right combination of
power, performance, flexibility and
ease of use, Harman Kardon has
always sought to strike a balance.
We carefully weigh the development
of key enhancements of the basic
underpinnings of audio and video
technology against the importance
of making these enhancements
accessible to both the advanced
audiophile and the home theater novice.
More muscle for
maximum punch: High
Current Capability
Watts per channel is an incomplete measure of
amplifier power. In terms of dynamic range and
impact, it’s current that counts. HCC is an overall
design approach encompassing everything from
transformer design and storage capacitor size
to discrete output circuitry and minimal use of
negative feedback. This electronic equivalent of
a high-torque, high-displacement racing engine
results in audible benefits. You enjoy tighter
bass, superb transient response and enhanced
presence at any volume level.
A better approach
to sound: Logic 7
®
When the engineers at Harman Kardon set out
to find ways to improve the playback of multi-
channel sound, they came up with significant
improvements that build upon recent advance-
ments in digital technology and take them to
the next level: Logic 7.
®
Originally developed for
high-end processors and now featured in luxury
automobiles, Logic 7 processing is now part of
every A/V receiver we offer.
With Logic 7, proprietary digital algorithms are
used to create a more cohesive and enveloping
sound field from the tens of thousands of analog
matrix soundtracks currently available. Logic 7 is
not only capable of resolving either five or seven
channels from a two-channel source; it increases
the accuracy with which sounds are directed to
the center and surround channels, for more pre-
cise reproduction of the original soundtrack.
When only two will
do: VMAx
®
Despite the marketplace focus on multichannel
surround sound, there are still many situations
where it is only possible to include two speakers
in a room’s environment – thus sacrificing
the benefits of a 360° sonic presentation.
Harman Kardon has solved that problem
with its exclusive implementation of VMAx
®
technology in both multichannel receivers and
stereo receivers.
Using a series of complex calculations based
on intensive research into the way sounds
are heard and processed by the brain, VMAx
creates a three-dimensional sound field using
only conventional left and right front speakers.
The result is sound that fills a room and puts
you at front row, center.
