Main Features of the EX-A10
1. Two-way Wood Cone Speakers Faithfully Reproduce Beautiful Timbres of Original
Sound
zThe 11-cm wood cone woofers reproduce audio with a deep and rich mid-low range thanks
to the material’s natural resonance. Combined with 2-cm wood dome tweeters, the
speakers also boast clear and consistent high band frequencies. By removing crossover
network circuits within each speaker and directly driving the speakers with a dedicated
amplifier, JVC greatly improves sound resolution and emission, realizing greater fidelity to
the beauty of the original audio sources.

zTo bring out excellent resonance, the speaker cabinets are made of natural and solid
cherry wood, a material of choice for musical instruments. These carefully constructed
cabinets provide acoustic music with especially natural warmth.
2. 4ch Direct Speaker Drive Bi-amp Method in Proprietary DEUS Digital Amplifier
The 4ch direct drive bi-amp method in the proprietary DEUS digital amplifier offers compact yet
powerful speaker drive features. By driving the mid- and low-range woofer and high-end tweeter
with separate amplifiers, audio is reproduced carefully and beautifully.
3. CC Converter Realizes Improved Audio from any Digital Source
The amplifier features JVC’s superior audio conversion technology, the CC Converter, which
improves sound quality incredibly, ranging from compressed signals to linear PCM sources. Its
two modes support both compressed and uncompressed digital signals.
Main Features of Optional DVD Audio/Video Player XV-EXA10
Optional DVD Audio/Video Player Component Design Matches that of EX-A10
zPlays a wide variety of discs, including DVD audio and DVD-R/-RW (in video/VR mode).
zDigital Direct Progressive Circuit offers extremely detailed picture quality and a 12bit/108MHz
video Digital-Analog Conversion.

EX-A5; as the third generation compact component stereo system with Wood Cone Speaker,
providing “mature audio” to enjoy one’s most loved music you with better sound.
JVC wishes to offer a moving lifestyle through the warmth of wood and the impact of comforting
nature. Removing crossover network circuits within the speaker and using bi-amplification, and

Other Features of the EX-A10
zRecording engineers from JVC’s Victor Studios participated in the sound quality tuning of the
EX-A10. In this way, JVC realizes a quality of audio that faithfully reproduces the intent of the
artists’ work in released music.

edge-wise 4-layer OFC voice coils and butyl-rubber edging in the woofers, as well as diffusers
in the tweeters specifically designed to improve high-range sound, and more durable
aluminum die-cast frames. JVC offers a higher quality of sound for playing back DVD and
other audio by maximizing the potential of Wood Cone Speakers.
zThe frames’ 8-mm thick highly-durable aluminum front panels control unnecessary vibrations
and offer superior quality.
zSeparating the power sources for the DVD player and amplifiers eliminates unnecessary
power noise.
zThe gold-plated speaker terminals are compatible with banana plugs used in high-end
speaker connection.
zThe system’s Multi-brand Remote Control performs all major operations for television sets
from fifteen leading manufacturers.
