Dolby S-type noise reduction gives cleaner transient response, provides lower noise levels, both at low and high frequencies, and allows higher signal levels to be recorded safely on the TC-WE805S. Dolby S-type noise reduction provides 24 dB of high frequency noise reduction plus an additional 10 dB of low frequency noise reduction. The Dolby HX PRO system provides precise bias control during recording to reduce distortion and improve linearity in the high-frequency range, the result is recorded sound that is highly faithful to the original. To further maintain recording accuracy, the TC-WE805S incorporates a switchable multiplex filter. When you record FM stereo broadcasts, the MPX filter of the TC-WE805S can be swiched on to prevent the standard 19kHz FM pilot signal from interfering with the noise reduction system.
