ALC (Automatic volume adjustment)
The automatic level control (ALC) is a
feature that automatically adjusts audio
volume and sound quality according to
the vehicle speed. The volume increases
in accordance with the increase in vehicle
speed, and decreases as vehicle speed
decreases.
Bose
® AudioPilot (Automatic volume
adjustment)
When driving, background noise can
interfere with enjoying music.
AudioPilot
® *3 noise compensation
technology continuously adjusts the music
to compensate for background noise and
vehicle speed.
It reacts only to sustained noise sources
and not intermittent ones, such as speed
bumps.
An enhanced DSP algorithm allows faster
and more effective compensation for
unusual situations, such as driving on a
very rough road or at high speeds.
In addition, a system is equipped which
switches the audio to the optimum
acoustics corresponding to the opening
and closing of the soft top/roof.
The acoustic switching function is linked
to the operation of the top lock lever/
retractable fastback switch and audio
playback is muted for about 1 second
while switching.
