Since its introduction,
Nakamichi CD700 Mobile Tuner / CD Player has earned the distinction of the
standard reference others are compared against. With its extraordinary sound quality and stylish appearance it has
remained the preeminent mobile source of discerning Nakamichi car audio enthusiasts. In terms of design concept, parts selection,
cosmetic appearance and of course sound quality, the Nakamichi CD700 is in a class by itself. Nakamichi CD 700 is the first head unit that's
capable of producing the maximum dynamic range of the CD medium (-96 dB) without the benefit of an A-weighting filter.
Improving the sonic performance of the Nakamichi CD700 was no small task. The first approach used was to further enhance the
overall stability of the disc-drive mechanism. It is well known which external vibrations and shock can cause imprecise
readout of the digital signal which can negatively affect sound quality. It is different in design from the typical spring-type
clamps that simply hold the disc by friction, Nakamichi engineers made use of advanced magnetic to bring forth new levels
of digital performance.The largest, easiest to reach control on the whole unit has but a single function to turn the volume
up or down. Although its simply a matter of taste, I should also mention that the Nakamichi CD700 doesnt light up your dashboard
like some mutant freak Christmas tree; its stealth via classiness you might say.
The Nakamichi CD700 II inherits the same innovative disc drive mechanism found in the original Nakamichi CD700, but with a highly refined
and stronger magnetic disc clamping system. This stronger magnetic force and refined disc chucking assembly is responsible
for greater stability and a substantial reduction in jitter. In addition the entire mechanism has no direct contact with the units
chassis, so the compact disc is immune from external vibrations, assuring a pure and precise digital-data readout.
Uncompromised in every respect, the Nakamichi CD700 II is the culmination of years of Nakamichis research in the areas of
electronic and mechanical engineering in relation to digital audio reproduction in the automobile.
