Stereo broadcasts can also be expanded to 5.1ch playback using the "Dolby Pro Logic" mode.

5. Karakteristik avanse

5.1 OMF Speaker Technology

The HTX-11 utilizes Onkyo Micro Fiber (OMF) diaphragms in its speakers. These hybrid diaphragms, based on natural fibers, are designed to be harder, lighter, and have less inherent sound, resulting in accurate and detailed sound reproduction across the frequency range.

5.2 AERO ACOUSTIC DRIVE

This proprietary bass reflex technology employs a unique slit-shaped duct structure. Unlike conventional round ducts that can release internal cabinet noise, AERO ACOUSTIC DRIVE prevents noise generation, ensuring that the deep bass is clean, powerful, and textured, even at low volumes.

5.3 VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry)

The HTX-11 incorporates VLSC in its front two channels. This patented circuit completely eliminates pulse noise that can degrade digital audio signals after analog conversion. By generating a new, pure audio signal with the same vector as the original, VLSC ensures that digital sound sources are reproduced with a warm and pure sound quality.

5.4 Speaker Expandability

While the HTX-11 provides an impressive virtual surround experience with its two front speakers, it is designed for future expansion. The amplifier-integrated subwoofer includes additional amplifier and speaker terminals. Onkyo offers optional center and surround speakers, matched in design and tonal quality, allowing you to upgrade to a full physical 5.1-channel system for an even more immersive experience.
