Bang & Olufsen clears the sound in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class
A great day for the audio fans and the ones addicted to the new high-end-designed Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Here is the latest result of the successful cooperation between Mercedes-AMG and Bang & Olufsen. With a total output of 1.200 watts, 15 high performance loudspeakers and 4 acoustic lenses the system offers a listening experience in a league of its own for every passenger.
From September 2010, the Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG high-end sound system will be available in the complete engine line-up, starting with the V6 gas and diesel engines, the hybrid and up to the powerful V8 and V12 versions of the S-Class. The BeoSound AMG system is standard equipment in the S65 AMG.
Designed to match the outstanding quality of the S-Class, the Bang & Olufsen sound system appeals to aesthetic senses also when switched off. The curves of the cabin are perfectly embodied by the design language of the 4 illuminated acoustic lenses as well as the calm lines of the aluminium speaker grills. The white LED light of the 4 tweeter units in the mirror triangle as well as in the b-pillar is adjusted to match the color from the instrument panel.
Besides 15 high performance speakers, the BeoSound AMG high-end sound system includes a total amplifier power of 1.200 Watts. Particularly the system consists of a 3-way speaker system in the front doors to enable optimal sound radiation for driver and front seat passengers. The midwoofers in the rear doors as well as the tweeters in the b-pillar together with two midrange speakers as surround speaker and two powerful subwoofers in the parcel shelf ensure a superior sound chamber for the passengers in the back.
Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG provides 2 powerful amplifiers, which have been engineered based on the experiences from previous automotive projects: one of them proprietary ICEpower technology; a fusion of high output power and hi-fi sound quality with ultra-compact design and low power consumption. The 750-watt ICEpower amplifier is closely interlinked with the 450-watt DSP (digital sound processor) amplifier, which converts the stereo sound and the Dolby Digital 5.1 signal into 7.1 surround sound.
On long drives the dynamic noise compensation provides a non-tiring listening experience. During that time Bang & Olufsen Automotive is working on more sound systems for coming Mercedes-Benz cars that are expected to be launched during 2012.
