What is a Crystal Disc CD?

Crystal disc, a Compact Disc using a glass substrate, is made to realize the sound quality which is 'equivalent' to the master sound source. For this purpose, Crystal disc is fabricated by Laser Disc technology cultivated over many years using the best-selected materials.

• The use of glass substrate instead of conventional polycarbonate substrate. As the reflective layer, gold is adopted in exchange for conventional aluminium.
• For pit transcription, a Photo Polymerization process (2P process) using a metal stamper is adopted. This process makes pit transcription highly precise compared with the conventional injection molding process. The technology of 2P process was cultivated by our production of test discs for calibrating industrial optimal pickup heads.
• Surface flatness of the glass substrate is much superior to the conventional CD. Glass substrate is hardly influenced by the variation of temperature and humidity. Furthermore, the absence of birefringence coming from the optical uniformity of the glass substrate realized a signal with extremely low noise and low jitter.
