UB9000 Reference Quality Sound: Unique audio technologies achieve rich sound reproduction

Dedicated Audio Power Supply

1. AC/DC Conversion Circuit
The use of a positive/negative, isolated power conversion circuit for audio provides a high dynamic range, and reduces the voltage fluctuations and noise caused by digital circuits. In addition to this, high-quality audio grade electrolytic capacitors and a newly developed OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) switching transformer decreases the impedance of power.

2. 10-Line Isolated DC Regulator Circuit
The digital and analogue power supplies for the D/A converter are isolated. The analogue channel is further separated into 2 channels and 7.1 channels , and for the 2-channel output, the reference voltage of the left and right channels is isolated, making a 10-line regulator circuit and reducing mutual effects to improve distortion. Moreover, high-quality audio grade electrolytic capacitors are used in the analogue channel to minimise noise.

Analogue Audio Circuit

1. High-Performance D/A Converter
• A high-performance D/A converter with input compatibility, high S/N, and high dynamic range is provided for each of the 2 channel and 7.1 channel circuits.
2. Special Circuit Board for Analogue Output
• The analogue circuits for 2 channel and 7.1 channel output are mounted onto special glass-epoxy circuit boards. Together with the use of quality components, such as low-noise operational amplifiers and audio grade electrolytic capacitors, a totally balanced signal transmission is achieved by using differential circuits all the way from the D/A converter output to the XLR output terminal

3. 2 Channel (RCA/ XLR) and 7.1 Channel Output Terminals
• The 2 channel and 7.1 channel output terminals are also separated. Moreover, the 2 channel output is equipped with a balanced XLR output terminal in addition to the RCA terminal.

Twin HDMI Pure AV (Audio/Video Isolated Twin HDMI)

The UB9000 features dual HDMI outputs for isolating and transmitting TV (4K video) and amplifier audio. By separating audio and video signals, unwanted noise is suppressed, resulting in high-quality audio reproduction.

Digital Tube Sound with Up-Sampling

The distinctive, warm, comforting sound characteristics of tube amplifiers are faithfully simulated on the UB9000. Six different kinds of sounds from vacuum tubes with 96-kHz/192-kHz up-sampling can be enjoyed in exceptionally high quality.

4K Camcorder Video and JPEG Playback

4K videos (MP4 format) taken with a camera or camcorder can be reproduced using Panasonic's 2018 Ultra HD Player, while JPEG data can be created in 4K resolution so you can enjoy the memories of vacation trips in all their natural beauty.
