BOSE® Surround Sound System.
The engine and exhaust on the
Cayman and Cayman S create
their own unique sound experience.
For the perfect accompaniment,
choose the lifelike audio of the
optional BOSE
®Surround Sound
System. Jointly developed by
Porsche and BOSE
®, it is perfectly
engineered for the interior
acoustics of both Cayman models.
A total of 10 loudspeakers,
including an active subwoofer with
integral 100-Watt switching amp,
deliver crystal-clear surround
sound output. The lifelike spatial
quality is equally impressive in
either seat position.Powering it all is a seven-channel
MOST
®-based digital amplifier
featuring 5 x 25-Watt linear amps
and a single 100-Watt switching
unit. AudioPilot™ noise compen-
sation technology provides
automatic adjustment of tone and
volume based on current road
speed and ambient noise. The
result is a noticeably clearer and
more consistent sound, with
no need for continuous manual
adjustment.
Active equalisation matches
all sound output to the unique
acoustics of the Cayman and
Cayman S. Covering the entire
frequency spectrum, it delivers
lifelike audio to both seat
positions.
The dynamic loudness function
included with the system is a
more sophisticated alternative to
conventional technologies. By
enhancing the lower frequencies
in low-volume sound, it actively
compensates for the reduced
sensitivity of the human ear at
the lower end of the range.The key system component,
BOSE
®Automotive Surround
Sound, uses independent
channels at front and rear to
create a push-button panorama
of space and sound. The sense
of depth is further enhanced
with the aid of patented BOSE
®
Signal Processing (BSP). Thanks
to Centerpoint™ technology,
even stereo recordings can be
split into five separate channels.
Together, these technologies
provide a breathtaking alternative
to the car’s natural engine
acoustics. Completing the
package is a CD storage system,
conveniently located in the glove
compartment.
