Sound Staging. ©
With Sound Staging, the driver and passengers are immersed in an "audio scene" recreating the natural atmosphere of an auditorium:
truly a part of the scene and its surroundings.
This new sensation is made possible by software in the audiosystem which processes the digital signals from the media players (radio, CD, MP3…) without changing the audio settings. Thisprocessing takes account of the characteristics of the passenger compartment to produce optimum results.
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 in front of passengers, level with
the windscreen.
