Welcome to the Vecteur®!! World of ! music
ongratulation for your purchase of our amplifier CDi4.
We put all our passion & know how in designing this product in order to make
sure that it will bring you hours of pleasure listening to music.
The entire Vecteur team wishes you hours of musical enjoyment!
Introduction to music…
ith the laser player Vecteur Cdi4, our intention was to capitalize on our
know how and acoustic signature that is the basis of our reputation.
First device of a new generation of laser players, the Cdi4 is a critical milestone
in our evolution of Vecteur’s production toward excellence in terms of technical reliability
and the feeling of music emotion.
Built around an optimized Philips transport, we implemented the latest generation of
Cirrus Logic converter, and gave it a separate power supply.
As usual, we took a particular care in selecting a high quality power supply with a specific
transformer.
Last but not least, the anti-resonant damped chassis and a all –functions remote control
put the final touch to a product which is meant in delivering the best of our know how for
a limited budget.
We wish you a wonderful listening experience!!!
