TOKYO - Aiwa Co., Ltd. has introduced the XR-HG5MD mini MD component system, with a built-in subwoofer and multi-amplifier system for top-quality sound reproduction. Both these technologies were until recently available only on high-end audio systems

The XR-HG5MD's built-in subwoofer brings mini component systems to a whole new level of performance. What's more, it eliminates the need to buy a separate subwoofer system to enjoy deep, dynamic bass reproduction as well as crystal-clear vocals and other mid- and high-frequency sounds.

The main unit's translucent blue acrylic front panel creates an exciting, contemporary look.. The XR-HG5MD also features a powerful 120W amplifier system, QSURROUND, an MD deck, 3CD auto changer, and double cassette deck. A single hit recording function makes it easy to record one track from CDs onto an MD. The XR-HG5MD has it all - stylish design, great sound, and a full range of advanced functions.

Fact Sheet
XR-HG5MD Mini MD Component System

XR-HG5MD
Suggested retail price: ¥49,800 (not including tax)
Initial launch: April 1
Production volume: 5,000 units (initial monthly production)

Main Features
* Built-in Subwoofer System and Multi-Amplifier System
The built-in subwoofer speaker system enhances low-range sound, because low-frequency signals are transmitted from a separate amplifier and reproduced in a separate subwoofer cavity in the speaker cabinet. The result is clearer, richer bass reproduction than conventional bass-reflex systems, without affecting mid- to high-range signals.
The XR-HG5MD is equipped with four power amplifiers - two separate left/right circuits for low-range and mid-and high-range signals. (Low-range circuit: 45W/channel, mid-and high-range circuit: 15W/channel). The multi-amplifier system offers two main improvements over conventional systems with only left/right amplifiers: less interference between low- and high-range signals, and more precise filter characteristics, which result in improved reproduction of low-, mid- and high-frequency ranges. The XR-HG5MD also features a 3-way speaker system (Low-range circuit: subwoofer, mid-and high-range circuit: full-range loudspeaker and supertweeter).
* High-powered 120W amplifier reproduces dynamic sound.
* QSURROUND offers natural stereophonic surround effects.
