The Music You Expect to Hear

You love music and you know good sound when you hear it. When you play your music on an audio system, you expect to be able to hear it with all the power, clarity and subtle expressive nuances of the original. Unfortunately, nothing dashes those expectations more thoroughly than the sonic environment of the car.

Poor Acoustics in the Car

The car interior is full of materials that actively distort and degrade the sound. Windows amplify and reflect high frequencies. Seat and dashboard coverings change certain frequencies. Carpets absorb and suppress mid frequencies. These problems are far too complex to be solved by simple equalisation. In addition, since the speakers are located at different distances from the listeners, the sound stage created in the car is unbalanced and asymmetrical.

The Technology behind IMPRINT Sound

Behind the innovative IMPRINT Sound processing is a key technology called MultEQ. It analyses the acoustic characteristics of your car interior, and then creates a set of equalisation filters to correct for frequency response and time delay problems for each speaker in your car. MultEQ applies processing to over 500 specific frequencies in the audio spectrum, correcting the sound to perfectly match your listening environment with incredible precision. The result is that everyone in the car hears the music with superb clarity and imaging
