According to the Danish specialists, the music signals can be distributed to the driver's seating position, the passenger's seating position or to a central point, as selected. With the help of the digital sound processor (DSP) it is also possible to choose between the "Reference" high-end studio sound or voluminous surround sound.
The system is operated using a specially-created Bang & Olufsen menu in the COMAND APS control and display system. It features illuminated, lens-shaped 50-watt tweeters in the instrument panel and the two subwoofers built into the parcel shelf, while the "Silver Shadow" metallic loudspeaker covers wears the Bang & Olufsen logo signal.
When switched on, the 17.8-cm color display in the dashboard shows the AMG logo for ten seconds – and thereafter, depending on the function, a high-resolution map, radio station or music track information, or the telephone keypad is displayed.
A DVD player for video and audio is also on board, and an integrated 6-disc DVD changer is available on request. Below the DVD aperture the unit has an adapter that enables various PC memory cards for the reproduction of music files.
External audio devices such as an "iPod" can be connected to COMAND APS via the optional Media Interface. As a standard feature, Mercedes-Benz combines COMAND APS with the LINGUATRONIC voice-operated control system and the Bluetooth interface.
The new sound system for the SLS AMG Gullwing costs 7,021 euros (including 19% VAT).
