Arkamys

which allows the sound quality to be
improved according to the setting chosen,
corresponding to the position of the
listeners in the vehicle.
The audio Ambience, Treble and Bass
settings are different and independent for
each sound source. Onboard audio: Arkamys
© Sound Staging.
With Sound Staging, the driver and the
passengers are immersed into a "sound
stage" recreating the natural atmosphere
of a theatre: truly centre stage in surround
sound.
This new sensation is possible thanks to
the software installed in the radio which
processes the digital signals of the media
players (radio, CD, MP3, etc.) without
changing the setting of the loudspeakers.
This process takes into account the
features of the passenger compartment
for optimum performance.
The Arkamys
© software installed in your
audio system processes the digital signals
of all the media players (radio, CD, MP3,
etc.) and makes it possible to recreate a
natural sound setting, with a harmonious
placement of the instruments and
voices in space, facing the passengers,
positioned at the height of the windscreen.
