The audio settings ( Equalizer, rBass , Trebleand Loudness) are
different and independent for each sound source.
The settings
for distribution and balance are common to all sources. The distribution
(or spatialisation using the Arkamys© system) of sound©
is an audio process that allows the audio quality to be adapted to the
number of listeners in the vehicle.
Arkamys©: in a vehicle, the sound quality suffers from the physicalconstraints imposed by the safety standards and the requirement to
optimise the space available in the passenger compartment. Speakers
are fi tted in the doors, which can result for the driver and passenger in
the sound being too one-sided, either "all on the right" or "all on the left".
The Arkam
ys© software installed in your audio system processes©
the digital signal from the media players (radio, CD, MP3, ...) andrecreates a natural musical scene, with harmonious placement of
instruments and voices in the space facing passengers, at the heightof the windscreen.
