The FORTE MK2 uses a fully digital amplifier with digital modulation. Digital sources are kept fully digital from the input stage to the output stage, ensuring that there is no noise or loss in the signal path. All low-resolution sources are upscaled to 32-bit/96kHz – and high-resolution sources up to 96kHz are not downsampled.
The amplifier also includes high-performance digital sound processing (DSP) with active crossover, the mid/bass woofers and tweeters have their own dedicated amplifier. A custom engineered bass driver delivers class-leading performance with ultra-low distortion in the critical midrange. All of this is housed in a sleek cabinet designed using advanced computer models, with acoustic flow resistance between the two woofers, which eliminates standing wave resonances. Combined with careful tuning and attention, the result is an open and clear soundstage with well-defined bass that packs a punch regardless of volume.
Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about all that technical jumbo. Just press play, listen and we promise it will all make sense.
