Sony has this week unveiled their new five-piece XDP-PK1000 in-car system that allows you to integrate your iOS devices into your car with ease. This innovative system is designed to enhance your in-car audio experience by seamlessly connecting your iPhone to your car’s sound system. The first package includes a cradle for iPhone, card remote, Digital Sound Processor Master Unit, 12-inch box subwoofer, and Class D Mono Block Amplifier.
Comprehensive Audio Customization
The system enables you to make precise adjustments to time alignment, equalization, and crossover points. This is complemented by three multi-position switches that allow you to adjust DSP parameters for 18 types of vehicles. This ensures that you can have your audio setup perfectly tuned for your car’s interior, providing the best sound possible. Whether you drive a compact car or a large SUV, the XDP-PK1000 can be tailored to meet your specific audio needs.
Sony explains: “Bass response is increased with the 300-watt Class D amp and sealed 12-inch subwoofer enclosure. The Class D amp is highly efficient, converting about 90% of incoming power into output to the speakers.” This means you get powerful, clear bass without draining your car’s battery.
Options for Existing Audio Setups
But don’t worry if you already have an amplifier and subwoofer installed in your car. Sony has also released a cut-down version, the XDP-MU110, which includes a cradle for iPhone, Digital Sound Processor Master Unit, and card remote, for a slimmed-down price. This version is perfect for those who want to upgrade their car’s audio system without replacing their existing components.
The XDP-MU110 offers the same advanced DSP features as the XDP-PK1000, allowing you to fine-tune your audio settings for optimal performance. This makes it an excellent choice for audiophiles who already have a high-quality amplifier and subwoofer but want to add the convenience and functionality of iOS integration.
Availability and Pricing
The 5-piece XDP-PK1000 kit will be available in September 2011 for $799. This comprehensive package is ideal for those looking to completely overhaul their car’s audio system with the latest technology. On the other hand, the 3-piece XDP-MU110 kit will be available in November 2011 for $399. This more affordable option is perfect for those who want to enhance their existing setup without breaking the bank.
Both systems are designed to be user-friendly, with easy installation and intuitive controls. The included card remote allows you to adjust settings on the fly, ensuring that you can always achieve the perfect sound, no matter where you are.
In conclusion, Sony’s new in-car audio systems offer a range of options to suit different needs and budgets. Whether you’re looking for a complete audio overhaul or just want to add some modern functionality to your existing setup, the XDP-PK1000 and XDP-MU110 have you covered. With advanced DSP features, powerful amplification, and seamless iOS integration, these systems are sure to take your in-car audio experience to the next level.
