"Auto. Volume" depending on road speed ( a ctivate/ d eactivate)The audio settings (
Equalizer, Bass, Treble and 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 
a
rkamys
© system) of sound 
is an audio process that allows the audio quality to be adapted to the 
number of listeners in the vehicle.
o
 n-board  audio:  a rkamys
© 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 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 
a
rkamys
© software installed in your audio system processes 
the digital signal from the media players (radio, C d , 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.
