Key Technical Specifications

- Inputs & Outputs: Features a line-in (analogue), an optical digital input, a dedicated microphone jack, and a standard headphone output.
- Audio Technology: Utilizes Sony’s ATRAC Type-R DSP chip, which dramatically optimizes high-frequency audio data compression for near-CD quality playback.
- Shock Protection: Equipped with a 40-second anti-skip buffer to prevent audio stuttering during physical movement.
