Sharp solves this problem by creating a compact but large-volume speaker system that reproduces Quattron Debut dynamic bass with the Revolutionary Dynamic Sound System (RDSS). The system uses an active (powered) speaker and twin passive (unpowered) speakers. For 50 years, television relied on the three primary colours of red, green, and blue to Sharp’s RDSS enables high-volume sound and produce a varied colour palette. This limited system of three primary colours, however, The digital filter in Sharp’s RDSS adjusts the sound wave frequency distortion that occurs in small output of low bass while reducing TV vibration. cannot depict such shades as shining gold, vivid yellow, or clear blue. speakers, enabling output of low-frequency sound Sharp's revolutionary 4-primary colour technology adds yellow to the original primary beyond the usual limit.
