The optional Bowers & Wilkins Premium Surround System is as good as it gets in production car hi-fi systems. The choice of components, the layout of the 15 speakers and the perfect configuration of HARMAN’s QuantumLogic™ Surround Sound processing and system integration is the result of a long and very demanding process of experimentation and countless hours of listening by the best ears in the audio business.
Bowers & Wilkins has close to 50 years’ experience in the development of drive units and their materials. Materials like Kevlar – introduced in speaker cones by Bowers & Wilkins in the 1970s – are the result of decades of commitment to acoustic research and development. For the tweeter aluminium offers a combination of lightness and rigidity that’s ideal, as the sound extends to the very limits of human hearing, unlike lesser fabric domes. For speed, stiffness and unshakable bass, Rohacell, which is normally used for aircrafts, rockets and performance cars’ bodies, is the perfect cone material.
The result is an audio system that perfectly reproduces every nuance of the recording; with crisp, pristine treble, amazing natural dynamics, and impressive bass. The system’s natural, realistic performance delivers a completely new level of musical enjoyment on the road.
