Extends Revolutionary Music Refinement, Bass Enhancement and Intelligibility Circuitry to New Ferrari Art.Engine System and Art.Solista

The David Wiener Collection (DWC), a luxury line of audio, entertainment, furnishing and fashion offerings, has announced it is expanding its application of proprietary DWC-Aphex music-enhancing circuitry to all of its luxurious home and office music systems.

The DW Collection has added DWC-Aphex® Audio Enhancement Technology to its Collection, which includes the new Ferrari Art.Engine Powered Speaker System and the Art.Solista USB Wireless Transmission System. The award-winning Art.Suono Wireless Music Transmission System, also in the Collection, introduced DWC-Aphex technology earlier this year.

DWC-Aphex is licensed exclusively to DWC by Aphex Systems, Ltd. and employed for the first time ever as a consumer technology in several of the audio systems in the Collection. Developed in collaboration with Aphex Systems, a world leader in the professional audio field for over 30 years, DWC-Aphex brings life back to music performances compromised by the various conventional data compression methods used to reduce the bit rate.

These traditional processes remove data bits from the music, representing sound supposedly masked by higher-level signals. As more bits are removed, fidelity decreases. DWC-Aphex circuitry reverses the fidelity loss by restoring the harmonic richness lost during conversion and compression.

DWC-Aphex circuitry helps to maintain the musical experience the original artists intended. It restores musical harmonics; renders vocals, drums, pianos, guitars, and all instruments more distinctly; and increases stereo imaging to create more spacious and realistic performances. Bass frequencies come across as richer, deeper and more resonant, low-fidelity audio systems sound more convincing, and full-range systems are little short of amazing. The technology also improves speech intelligibility, the spoken clarity of books on CD and tape, Audible™ files, and podcasts.

DWC-Aphex was introduced in the Art.Suono, which paired an elegant transmitter of machined aluminum with carbon fiber accents and fine detailing, with a compact receiver that easily connects to any speaker system. Now, DWC has extended DWC-Aphex to the new Ferrari Art.Engine System, an upgraded edition of the original Art.Engine, and to the Art.Solista, which simplifies wireless audio transmissions from computers to speaker systems.
