Audi A8 L with the touch of Bang & Olufsen advanced sound system
Audi and Bang & Olufsen started up their successful partnership in 2005, and have since then continuously developed high end sound systems for different models of the renowned car brand. The popular Bang & Olufsen automotive sound is now available in Audi A8 L models as well - a new standard for luxury, dynamics and efficiency. The new auto offers 130 mm additional length compared to the original A8, resulting in an enlarged rear seat section and is designed for passengers who mainly sit in the back of the car offering extra comfort and a real mobile office.
The second generation of the Advanced Sound System has been thoroughly tailored for the long A8. The midrange speaker box in the rear doors has been altered and a larger midrange grill was required to match the extended dimensions of the rear section. Finally, a profound sound tuning has been made to obtain the listening sound experience in the roomy car. Adding to the magnificent features of the first generation, the Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System for Audi A8 L has 5 additional loudspeakers, a total of 19, each driven by its own discrete channel of digital signal processing and amplification. Thanks to the Bang & Olufsen's proprietary ICEpower technology the system produces a total amplifier power of 1.348 watts at only 1% distortion (equals 1.460 watts at the usual 10% automotive distortion specification).
There are 2 x 19 mm soft dome tweeters in motorized acoustic lenses, 5 x 25 mm soft dome tweeters, 7 x 100 mm midranges, 4 x 165 mm woofers, 1 x 200 mm subwoofer, 4 sound settings: Front, Rear, All and Movie. The closed speaker cabinets ensure that the sound from music and phone calls stays in the car, giving an optimal 'privacy-effect' especially for phone calls. Furthermore the closed cabinets reduce undesired structural vibrations from the car when playing music at high sound pressure levels.
