The Passat Sound-System
|
When Volkswagen started with the development of the new Passat, they set themselves the target to design a car that would easily surpass anything in its class in all areas but most notably in comfort and refinement. As all of us spend more time than ever on the road, the Volkswagen development team realised that a car's sound system becomes an integral part of the total comfort experience.
In their quest for the ideal partner to develop the perfect sound system, the Volkswagen engineers soon found that the engineers at Dynaudio share the same the deep passion and pride in their work resulting in design and production excellence. Over almost three decades, Dynaudio built up an impressive track record, renowned and acclaimed the world over for its fine loudspeakers for both home and studio use. Many radio stations (BBC), recording studios and artists around the globe rely on Dynaudio loudspeakers. Given this reputation combined with quality and passion, a partnership was formed.
Instead of mounting a few speakers as an after-thought as a car reaches the final stage in its development, Dynaudio was involved in the design of the total sound system from the very early design stages, working closely with the Volkswagen development team. Being involved so early meant that the Dynaudio engineers could optimise the location, mounting and housing of all components and precision-tailor the amplifiers and associated circuitry in order to achieve the best possible performance.
The end result is a sound system that has been perfectly integrated, both sonically and aesthetically, in the Passat's interior where the unobtrusive Dynaudio logos are the only visible clues to the system's tremendous performance potential. A combination of ten Dynaudio loudspeaker chassis, powered by State-of-the-Art digital amplifiers using Digital Sound Processing (DSP) technology, provide a sound experience not heard previously.
