Kenwood 52X TrueX CD-ROM Drive

The fastest CD-ROM drive on earth just got faster!

Kenwood Technologies, maker of the award winning 42X TrueX? CD-ROM drive, now boosts performance to 52X. It's the only CD-ROM drive in the world that delivers a transfer rate ranging from 6750 - 7800 KB/sec across the entire disc! This speed is more than 50% faster than the average 50X Max CD-ROM drive available today.

Equivalent to a 75X Max drive - if one existed!*

The Kenwood 52X TrueX? CD-ROM is made with Zen's TrueX technology and Kenwood's patented 7 Beam pickup, which illuminate multiple tracks simultaneously, read them in parallel, and process the data through a custom ASIC. By reading multiple tracks at once, the 52X TrueX CD-ROM drive actually spins the disc slower than conventional single-beam drives, resulting in extremely precise readability and very quiet operation.

The Kenwood 52X TrueX CD-ROM drive is faster, quieter, and more reliable than the average 50X Max drive. The 52X TrueX CD-ROM drive provides consistent high performance data throughput across the entire disc making it ideal for graphic-intensive applications such as 3D games, multimedia, and other reference content.

Kenwood Corporation, established in December 1946, has always stressed innovation as the means to provide customers with the best possible products. In keeping with this spirit, Kenwood has blended innovation with technology to create Kenwood TrueX CD-ROM drives. Kenwood TrueX drives feature Zen's TrueX technology producing the fastest CD-ROM drives on earth.
