Â
the

driver  and  passengers  are  immersed  in  an Â
"audio

recreating
Â
the  natural  atmosphere  of  an  auditorium: Â

part
Â
of

scene
Â
and  its  surroundings.
This
Â
new
Â
sensation
Â
is
Â
made  possible  by  software  in  the  audio Â
system
Â
which
Â
processes
Â
the  digital  signals  from  the  media  players Â
(radio,
Â
CD,
Â
MP3…)
Â
without  changing  the  audio  settings. Â
This
Â
processing
Â
takes
Â
account
Â
of  the  characteristics  of  the  passenger Â
compartment
Â
to
Â
produce
Â
optimum  results.
The
Â
Arkamys© software installed in your audio system processes the
Â
digital
Â
signal  from  the  media  players  (radio,  CD,  MP3,  ...)  and Â
recreates
Â
a
Â
natural  musical  scene,  with  harmonious  placement  of Â
instruments
Â
and  voices  in  the  space  in  front  of  passengers,  level Â
with
Â

Ambience,
 Loudness)  can  be  adapted  to  the  different  sound  sources, Â
which
 may  result  in  audible  differences  when  changing  source  (radio, Â
CD...).Check
 that  the  audio  settings  (Volume,  Bass, Â
T
reble, Â
Ambience,
