If the
essence of music is art, then th eessence of music reproduction is technique.
And the quintessence of that technique is Wadia.
As we
continue to make pioneering advances in digital reproduction, by applying
advanced computer technology and patented programming to leading-edge signal
decoding, we place increasingly greater demandads on th eelement of digital
technology first in the reproduction chain; the transport.
For, while
the New Generation of Wadia Decoding Computers has been engineered to achieve
faithful reproduction of the very life of recorded music, the broad symphony of
instrumental and vocal nuance, the aural ambience of soundspace, the audibly
influential presence of the artists themselves, reproduction comes to naught
lest the recorded signal is sent, intact, to these brilliant instruments of
sonic reproduction.
Enter the
new generation of Wadia transports - designed, foremost, to ensure absolute
mastery of signal recovery in the time domain; the genesis of optimum
reproduction.
Wadia's
proprietary clocking technology initiates digital timing accuracy at the LSI
chip, setting the standard for accurate time-base relationships throughout the
chain of digital reproduction equipment.
To isolate
signal topology from power-supply generated noise, the Wadia 7 Transport has
been engineered with a completely redesigned power supply, housed in its own
substantial chassis. A state-of-the-art regulator stage ensures constant
voltage sophisticated line filtering delivers a pure AC line feed to two
toroidal transformers - the very best of current manufacture as is every
component in the Wadia 7.
Enclosure
design, too, is an essential element of distortion control and, as a result in
a loss of information which cannot be
recreated by improvements later in the system.
Wadia's
exclusive rounded-corner design detunes the enclosure from resonant frequencies
which would have a negative impact of critical clock and program signals.
As the
foundation for fautless signal recovery, the chassis of the Wadia 7,
constructed of massive body plates, provides a profoundly stable platform for
that most critical of all transport components, the spinning mechanism itself.
To expect
near- perfect accuracy from heavy-handed servo-feedback corrections would seem
folly. Thus, at the heart of the Wadia 7 Transport is the critically acclaimed
P-2S spinning mechanism - an acknow ledged industry standard, utilized outside the manufacturer's realm only within the
Wadia 7.
Its
full-size die-cast zinc/bronze disc turntable and stabilizer clamp keeps disc
and laser pickup in their precise relative positions. With this dimensional
stability and interial damping, servo corrections need only deal with tracking
the variable disc rotation speed.
Combine
full-disc clamping with a floating suspension system, sophisticated resonance
damping design and the use of non-resonant metals - not plastic - throughout
its understructure, and the result is a mechanical treatment which has risen to
worldwide critical acclaim..
Function
selection of the Wadia 7 is equally sophisticated. Sculpteed from a solid block
of aluminum, the full-functions remote controller promises a lifetime of
faultless service, reducing control intrusions into both cosmetics and
mechanical integrity.
It is also
your fully remote acces to the Wadia 7's matchless companion in unrivaled
digital reproduction, the Wadia 9 Decoding Computer.
Truly, the
Wadia 7 Transport brings unerring digital transport to reality, presenting,
through Wadia's pioneering use of the Glass Fiber Optical Transmission System,
the world's most accurate digital output, and offering for your audition the essence of the art of
music, through the twenty-first centry technique that is Wadia.
The Wadia 7
Transport feature a complete array of output choices. Un
mistakably, our prime choice is Glass Fiber Optics. To maintain compatibility
between Wadia transports and all possible subsequent system components, we have
included a plastic optics output, a Coax output via BNC, and an output in the
AES/EBU connection system.
Additional
user-selected options are adjusted from the real panel of the wadia 7
Transport. Separate adjustments can be made for disc drawer insertion speed and
ejection speed, and for display intensity.
