DSP Sound System with EQ Settings

The Digital Sound Processor (DSP) allows you to easily build and customize your sound system. It makes the treble smoother, the midrange richer, and the bass fuller. You can adjust the Equalizer (EQ) and sound position for optimal audio. The DSP can adjust the output time of sound to achieve a perfect sound effect, making the sound arrive synchronously for an excellent driving position experience.

3D Surround Sound

By adjusting the speed of sound from the four speakers, all sounds are transmitted to the driver's seat simultaneously, creating an immersive music experience without changing speaker positions.

Bass Enhancement

Activate Bass Enhancement to amplify the bass, resulting in a more powerful and flexible bass response for heavy bass songs.

Bass Filter

Enable the bass filter to directly filter out bass frequencies, making middle and high tones more delicate and full.
