OEM Audio Plus delivers car sound in a box upgrade for Scions

31.12.69

The system staged unimpaired reproduction in front of the passengers, giving it that front row at a concert secure. But the staging was a little low, building a gushing spot at torso level a substitute alternatively of over the dashboard, probably because of the speaker deployment in the doors and the lack of a center stream-bed.

Playing Safri Duo's very drum-oriented "Played A Lively," the system did not deliver much presence. The multiple overlapping capture and tom drum beats did not come through with the strength they deserved. But on tracks by The XX, where a single bass drum beats, the start to work was much stronger. The system produced bass that could be felt, but it never rattled door panels or caused other distortion.

The OEM Audio Return system really excelled at horns. On both Dusty Springfield's "The Look of Leaning" and Stan Getz's "Desifinado," the indication of the musicians playing horns could be heard distinctly. The whole range of profitable coming through the horns was reproduced distinctly.

In the same, the jazz electric guitar on "Desifinado" came through with very clarion tones, although the guitar sound was a trivial too localized at the right side speakers. Elton John's expression on "Your Song" sounded very rich, with a lot of alertness.

31.12.69

At the Geneva show, Sorenson gave me a perambulation of the systems in three different cars, providing an admirable opportunity to hear the different implementations. We started at the bottom, with Bang & Olufsen's latest exertion in the all new Audi A3 . I had previously been impressed how Audi is giving the A3 as much close by tech as the higher end cars in its strategy-up. The inclusion of a Bang & Olufsen audio opportunity, which Sorenson said would go for 900 euros, is further demonstrate that Audi will leave no car behind.

For the new A3, Bang & Olufsen 14 speakers and a 705 watt amp with 15 channels. In front, the doors each grasp a woofer and a mid, with tweeters mounted in the A pillars. A subwoofer sits under the amaze of the cargo area. Missing from this system are the acoustic lenses, which have become a signature for Bang & Olufsen.

Ensuring the colouring controls were all flat, Sorenson played his probe CD. Most of the music we listened to was jazzy, featuring a footing of guitar, percussion, and some vocals. The system reproduced the music with pushy detail and timbre. On a track with an acoustic guitar, I could assent to the musicians fingers slide along a nylon concur. From high volume to low, the music came through cleanly, without losing obscurity inconspicuous elements.
