respected premium audio manufacturers
worldwide. The optional Burmester® High-
End Surround Sound System can be
combined with the Porsche Communica -

from one of the finest Burmester® premium
home audio systems. State-of-the-art
and featured like this in a Porsche for
the first time. The extravagance is
un compromising, the craftsmanship

has been carried over more or less
unmodified from the home audio sector.
Analogue and digital filters have been
optimally defined for their new instal -

still play other audio sources, such
as CDs and MP3s, in stereo or, at the
push of a but ton, in one of the virtual

The BOSE®- patented AudioPilot® noise
compensation technology uses a
microphone to continuously measure
the ambient noise inside the vehicle
and adapts

and automatical
ly so that a consistent
sound is maintained – whatever the
driving conditions.
As an innovator in the field, BOSE® has
used its considerable experience to adapt the system specifically to the pas

industry, it has been possible to achieve
optimum acoustics by tailoring the
system to suit the layout of the vehicle
interior.

richly textured spatial sound. All of this is achieved despite the system’s
remarkably low overall weight thanks
to intelligent

clear that the appeal
