Multiprocessing DAC Systems STATE A6R KISHI Model.
-
The STATE A6R KISHI Model, the latest generation of the STATE A6R series, is a specially tuned system of multi-processing DACs based on the renowned basic design of the STATE A6R but has undergone fine tuning including a complete change to the analog circuit related to sound quality. By using a special version of the tuning software exclusively written for this unit, it is possible to adjustment points of the equalizer center frequency and crossover frequency from 35 points of the normal model to 254 points, respectively.
Consequently, this allows for a higher level of adjustment ability that maximizes the qualities of this unit compared to the normal State series.
The exterior is also specially designed with a brass commemorative plate and gold-colored lettering on the clear gloss paint finish of the Sunrise Red.
Hiroshi Kishikawa was the Technical Executive of our company; he was responsible for sound supervision of all BEWITH products for many years and was involved in the development of the successive of the STATE series.
The sound characteristics of the unreleased prototype machine is exactly what he had envisioned for higher resolution and clarity has now been finally unveiled and completely reproduced.
This unit is exactly one that should be called the "Ultimate STATE".
The following 3 models are available.
"STATE A6R KISHI Model", a single unit with a 3-way / 6-channel stereo configuration that can be linked with up to 10 units.
"STATE A6R KISHI Model DUAL" (1 set of 2 units) dedicated to 3-way / 3-channel monaural configuration for building a dual monaural system that is completely independent on the left and right.
"STATE A6R KISHI Model MONO" (1 set of 6 units) is a 1-way / 1-channel monaural configuration dedicated machine that enables an all-discrete system that is completely independent of all channels.

STATE A6R KISHI Model MONO
Ultimate digital processing enabled by a Monoblock x 6 units configurations
1-way, 1-channel monaural model -
1-way 1-channel monaural model that all channels are independent equipped with "MONO-SIX Extension Firmware" a dedicated Monoblock firmware, which is designed to be used in a set of 6 units* with one processor per 1 bandwidth and 1 channel. In addition to achieving ultimate digital processing by complete elimination of mutual interference between left and right and between bandwidths, it can take advantage of three times signal processing capacity by using a processor with the capacity of 6-channels in 3-ways exclusively for each channel in 1-way. Taking advantage of this, resulting in adjustability that car audio has never experienced, such as multiple filters with up to 6 layers (compatible with gambler slopes). *5 ML Link cables (sold separately) are required to connect 6 processors.

Combining two filters to expand the possibilities of sound creation.
Two Multiple Filters (STATE A6R KISHI Model DUAL)
"STATE A6R KISHI Model DUAL" is equipped with a two-stage multiple filter that can create various filter characteristics by combining two -18dB/oct. digital filters per channel as needed. This multiple filter is designed to be used in the following two patterns, allowing you to pursue more diverse possibilities for sound creation that were not possible with conventional digital processors. (The following Pattern 1 and Pattern 2 cannot be used simultaneously.)
Pattern 1: Achieving two-stage gambrel (polygonal) slopes
By shifting the cutoff frequencies of the two digital filters and combining them, achieves a gambrel (polygonal) slope that switches the filter slope from -18dB/oct. to -36dB/oct. or from -36dB/oct. to -18dB/oct. after a given frequency (Industry’s First). This allows you to pursue more diverse possibilities for sound creation.
Pattern 2: Selection of slope angle
By aligning and combining the cutoff frequencies of the two digital filters identically, a filter slope of -18dB/oct. or -36dB/oct. can be selected.
Combining six filters enables advanced adjustment beyond conventional wisdom.
Six Multiple Filters (STATE A6R KISHI Model MONO)
"STATE A6R KISHI Model MONO" has six built-in -18dB/oct. digital filters per one unit for each channel, which has achieved a multiple filter that can create various filter characteristics by freely combining these 6 units. This multiple filter is designed to be used in the following two patterns, allowing you to enable advanced sound adjustments that go beyond the common sense of conventional digital processors.
Pattern 1: Achieving up to 6 levels gambrel (polygonal) slopes
By combining multiple (up to 6) digital filters with different cutoff frequencies, the filter slope can be changed up to 6 steps in -18dB/oct. any frequency as the boundary. You can pursue the possibility of more advanced sound creation using a gambrel slope that car audio has never experienced before.
Pattern 2: Selection of slope angle
By combining multiple (up to 6) digital filters with the same cutoff frequency, the filter slope can be changed up to six steps of -18/36/54/72/90/108dB. The six digital filters can be divided into "Pattern 1" and "Pattern 2" and used in combination.
Adopted "MAGNEOLA" body, a magnesium alloy specially designed for acoustics.
Each model in the STATE A6R series features an all-magnesium body made of a proprietary magnesium alloy specially designed for acoustics, "MAGNEOLA". In particular, the top cover part uses magnesium extruded molding material that BEWITH was the first company in the world to put to practical use. The synergistic effect of outstanding rigidity, ideal internal loss, and concave lines on the top cover that disperse resonance has succeeded in further improving the audible S/N ratio. A wireless remote controller is also included to select input sources and sound programs, and to operate the mirror-type linear PCM player "STATE MM-1D" (discontinued).
Equipped with extensive external I/O terminals including optical digital audio input
In addition to the MM direct connection capabilities that allow connection of the mirror-type linear PCM player "STATE MM-1D" (discontinued) without the need for an interface unit, it is equipped with optical digital audio input for connection to other manufacturers' digital audio equipment and external audio terminals such as 3 analog audio inputs and outputs per channel that can be assigned to 2 to 6 (5.1) channels depending on the connected device. Multi-channel analog audio signals of up to 5.1 channels from factory-installed car audio systems and AV navigation systems can be input as discrete signals* without down-mixing. It also has two built-in composite video input / output circuits, including one reverse gear interlocking system, and switches between two video signals such as a rear view camera and a front view (side view) camera, and enable to output them to the **STATE MM-1D or an external monitor.
*Only “STATE A6R” is supported. “STATE A6R DUAL” and “STATE A6R MONO” do NOT support 5.1ch discrete input. A commercially available high/low converter is required to input the speaker output of the factory car audio system to this unit.
**When connected to the STATE MM-1D, the STATE MM-1D's attached remote controller can be used to switch between the two video signal systems. In other cases, switching is limited to reverse gear interlocking trigger input.
A special brass commemorative plate is mounted (for each KISHI Model).
For the exterior color of the STATE A6R, a gorgeous and deep Sunrise Red clear gloss paint finish was adopted. A special tuned model, the STATE A6R KISHI Model, available in limited quantities, features exclusive gold lettering and a laser-engraved brass commemorative plate on the audio output side panel.
