Full Digital Sound, or FDS, is a new system that provides a pure digital audio playback with connectivity options for a wide range of devices. To elaborate a bit more, Clarion’s FDS technology allows an audio signal to stay in it’s original digital form right up until it reaches the listener achieving extremely high levels of fidelity. Because the drive circuit is embedded into the speakers there is no need for an amplifier. This provides remarkable advantages in installation flexibility, weight savings and a 5-fold reduction in power consumption compared to conventional systems.
