is
 
an

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   audio  
system

 
which
 
processes
 
the   digital   signals   from   the   media   players  
(radio,

 
CD,
 
MP3…)
 
without   changing   the   audio   settings.  
This
 
processing

 
takes
 
account
 
of   the   characteristics   of   the   passenger  
compartment

 
to
 
produce
 
optimum   results.
The
 
Arkamys© software installed in your audio system processes the
 
digital
 
signal   from   the   media   players   (radio,   CD,   MP3,   ...)   and  
recreates

 
a
 
natural   musical   scene,   with   harmonious   placement   of  
instruments

 
and   voices   in   the   space   in   front   of   passengers,   level   with  
the

 
windscreen.
