PIONEER MJ-D5 HQ AUDIOPHILE MINIDISC DECK! Introduction
Selling Pioneer MJ-D5 high quality (second from the top) minidisc player in gold color from the Japanese market. Superb sound quality with the sampling rate 44.1kHz, reproduction frequency characteristic 8Hz-22kHz, reproduction Signal-Noise ratio 100dB. The only one problem was that the recording sometimes failed. Maybe this is my old minidiscs, or it needs head cleaning or some basic service.
The unit is in very cosmetic condition with some tiny scratches on top. Deck operates on 100V AC. You will need a 120V to 100V step-down transformer. The bonus - 2 minidiscs with HQ music!
A high sound quality and multiple functions Pioneer MD-J5 by adopting unique technologies such as "ARTIST-SYSTEM" A stationary MD recorder that is equipped with the latest high-quality sound technology and various functions at an affordable price. . Equipped with Pioneer's proprietary technology, it has achieved high sound quality and multiple functions comparable to high-end MD recorders, despite being priced under 50,000 yen.
1. “ARTIST-SYSTEM” that realizes high-quality recording that is faithful to the original sound
“ARTIST (Advanced Real TIme Signal Tuning)-SYSTEM”, developed by Pioneer Corporation ahead of the world, has fundamentally revised the recording technology of MD recorders to produce even more original sound. High-quality recording technology that enables faithful recording.
Currently, MDs use a high-efficiency encoding (audio compression) technology called ``ATRAC'' (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) during recording because it is necessary to compress music signals to a limited amount of data. This method divides the input music signal (hereinafter referred to as the input signal) into three bands: high, middle, and low, and uses the minimum audible limit characteristics that utilize the human auditory characteristics and the masking effect to generate data. are being organized and recorded.
Pioneer's newly developed ARTIST-SYSTEM is a technology that uses high-precision DSP (digital signal processor) to more actively control masking characteristics. The frequency of the input signal is analyzed in real time, and the masking characteristics optimal for the input signal are always selected for each band. For example, if the input signal contains a lot of high-frequency components, it is now possible to record more faithfully to the original sound by allocating the amount of information preferentially to the high-frequency music signal. In this way, by allocating more of the limited data capacity to bands with many input signal components, even the minute level signals that were previously discarded are not missed, allowing for clear, high-quality recording with a sense of depth. It's now possible.
Discs recorded using this "ARTIST-SYSTEM" are fully compatible with conventional ATRAC, and can be enjoyed with high sound quality on other MD players such as portables and car stereos.
2. “Digital NR (Noise Reduction)” that automatically detects and reduces noise during recording and playback
“Digital NR” developed independently by Pioneer uses DSP to divide the music signal into multiple bands, and then separates the band where no music signal exists. A technology that significantly reduces the noise contained in a signal by attenuating the level. "Digital NR" makes it possible to record not only digital signals but also analog signals that contain a lot of noise with clear sound. At the same time, MD discs recorded using "Digital NR" can be played back with clear, high-quality sound on other MD players. In addition, when playing discs recorded with other MD recorders on the MJ-D5, you can use "Digital NR" to play back clear sound with less noise.
Based on the wide-range concept, "Legato Link Conversion" realizes playback up to 40kHz.In
order to reproduce sounds closer to nature, sound components with frequencies above 20kHz, which are cut in MD and CD formats, are becomes important. "Legato Link Conversion" is a technology that focuses on the characteristic of sound that the amplitude decreases as the frequency increases (1/f characteristic), and reproduces music signals up to 40kHz based on signals within the audible band. do. This realistically reproduces the rich, deep, natural sounds inherent in the natural world and musical instruments.
3. "Digital REC volume" enables editing with uniform recording level
"Digital REC volume" allows adjustment of REC level in the range of +12 dB to -48 dB for digital signals with sampling frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, and 48 kHz. . This allows MD editing with uniform REC levels for a wide range of digital audio sources such as CD, BS/CS, and MD.
