different and independent for each sound source.
The settings for distribution and balance are common to all sources.
The distribution (or spatialisation using the
a

is an audio process that allows the audio quality to be adapted to the
number of listeners in the vehicle.

© Sound Staging.
With Sound Staging, the driver and passengers are immersed in an
"audio scene" recreating the natural atmosphere of an auditorium:
truly a part of the scene and its surroundings.
This new sensation is made possible by software in the audio system
which processes the digital signals from the media players (radio,
CD, MP3…) without changing the audio settings. This processing
takes account of the characteristics of the passenger compartment to
produce optimum results.
The
a
rkamys
© software installed in your audio system processes
the digital signal from the media players (radio, C d , MP3, ...) and
recreates a natural musical scene, with harmonious placement of
instruments and voices in the space in front of passengers, level with
the windscreen.
