ZEN CAN
the Tech
To reduce noise even further we decided
to upgrade our design by introducing
Bipolar CMOS (BiCMOS), a
semiconductor technology that
integrates the two formerly separate semiconductor technologies to make the best
of both. As a result, ZEN CAN achieves very low noise, excellent transient response,
and excellent PSRR performance (rejection of power supply noise).
Tokyo Cosmos Electric Co. (TOCOS) multi-track
potentiometer used, with close channel matching
tolerance for optimal performance even at quiet listening levels (low positions of
pot).
SMT (Surface Mount Technology) galore: adopting SMT technology as much as
possible eliminates loadouts and terminations as possible sources of noise and
distortion. It also minimizes parasitic elements created by manual soldering, for
dramatic improvements over most mounted components.
