With 12 active loudspeakers driven by 1,000 watts of power, the Bang & Olufsen high-end Surround Sound system for the BMW 6 Series Convertible includes five tweeters, each paired with a mid-range loudspeaker, while the two subwoofers located under the front seats are directly mounted to the body of the car.
This BMW-patented design eliminates vibrations from the subwoofers to produce an even cleaner sound performance, the Dutch company explains.
The patented Bang & Olufsen Acoustic Lens Technology also plays its part, distributing sound horizontally with 180º of dispersion to give the best possible acoustic experience from anywhere in front of the speaker. At a closer look, the acoustic lens cover reveals an additional mid-range loudspeaker that delivers perfectly balanced sound throughout the cabin.
Under the skin, the all new system also incorporates Dynamic Sound Optimization, which uses sound data gathered from a microphone mounted in the cabin to constantly adjust the sound according to conditions outside the car, such as rain and changing road surfaces.
For the BMW 6 Series Convertible, an additional sensor automatically instructs the Digital Signal Processor (DSP) of the sound system to adapt the sound performance to suit the altered ambient cabin conditions, whenever the soft top is raised or lowered.
In addition, two distinct sound modes integrated into the all new system create two quite different sound experiences. Studio Mode produces a wonderfully vibrant sound stage that reproduces sound as the artist intended, while the new Expanded Mode widens the sound stage to give passengers the impression that they are in a much larger space.
