Unleash your digital music collection
Sony GT Series grows with feature-packed new USB head unit
- CDX-GT610U/CDX-GT616U CD tuner/ changer controller with front panel USB input for personal audio player
- GT Series styling with flip-down panel and new larger display
- DRIVE-S Chassis with S-MOSFET 50W x 4 Power
- BBE-MP processing for enhanced MP3 sound quality
The perfect partner for today’s digital lifestyles, the CDX-GT610U/CDX-GT616U is a step-up sister model to the phenomenally successful Sony CDX-GT410U/CDX-GT414U that has already smashed sales expectations. Both models replay music files in popular MP3, WMA or AAC formats from any digital music source that’s connected via its easily-accessible front panel USB socket.
It’s also a generously-specified CD tuner / changer controller that can replay discs burned from your PC in MP3, WMA, AAC or ATRAC formats – further broadening the options for enjoying the contents of your digital music library on the move.
Unlocking your personal music collection doesn’t just mean great-sounding audio from today’s digital sources – it’s a serious lifestyle statement, too. The CDX-GT610U/CDX-GT616U refines the unmistakeable GT Series that has already fired the imagination of drivers who demand cutting-edge looks as well as top-gear performance. The flip-down front panel of the CDX-GT610U/CDX-GT616U now features a super-size 13-segment fluorescent display for maximum legibility of disc, track and station data plus EQ and other information.
Release your music
The front panel’s USB socket allows ‘plug and play’ connection with a Sony Walkman or virtually any digital audio player equipped with a USB port. Walkman functions can be controlled directly from the front panel or via the handy sub-credit card sized remote – allowing back seat drivers to pick the playlist from the comfort of their seat. Album, track title and artist information is displayed automatically on the large 13-segment display, and the Walkman battery is trickle charged during play.
Superb digital sound
Like its predecessor, the CDX-GT610U/CDX-GT616U features Sony-developed DRIVE-S chassis technology that teams improved sound quality with superior reliability. Digital audio reproduction is superb thanks to ultra-precise 24-bit D/A conversion, while ample power is provided by 4 x 50W S-MOSFET output stages. Latest-generation Xplod circuitry ensures a flat response (+/- 1dB) from 10-20,000 Hz, with a signal to noise performance of better than 120dB for incredibly clean, dynamic reproduction of CD and other digital sources.
Separate pre-amp outputs are available for front, rear and separate subwoofer channels. Sub volume level can also be adjusted independently.
It’s also the best-sounding GT Series head unit yet thanks to the inclusion of BBE-MP sound processing that restores high-frequency harmonics that often get ravaged by MP3 audio files.
Provided under license from audio specialist BBE Sound, Inc., BBE-MP processing dramatically improves the sound quality of MP3 tracks by enhancing higher harmonics that are lost during the audio compression process. DSO (Dynamic Soundstage Organizer) II technology uses innovative 3D virtual sound processing to ‘elevate’ the perceived position of audio from floor-mounted speakers to ear level for an even more satisfying, realistic in-car entertainment experience.
Sensibly-spaced buttons and a front panel rotary encoder make control adjustments quick and positive for maximum safety on the road. Front panel illumination can be flipped between red and green to suit any vehicle’s dash or your driving mood.
The CDX-GT610U/CDX-GT616U updates the immensely successful Sony GT Series of CD tuner head units. Distinguished by their unmissable GT panel styling plus power and performance, the successful range already includes the entry-level, step-up CDX-GT111, CDX-GT210/GT212, CDX-GT310 and CDX-GT410U/GT414U.
The Sony CDX-GT610U/GT616U will be available throughout Europe from January 2007.
