Speaker: Description and Operation

Audio and Communication

BOSE(R) Surround Sound System

The optional BOSE(R) Surround Sound System (standard in the Cayenne Turbo) comprises a total of 14 speakers, a 200 W active subwoofer with Class D driver and 200 mm diaphragm diameter as well as 9 amplifier channels to provide an impressive sound experience. A total output of 585 W is therefore available. A frequency range from 40 Hz to 20 kHz is available at every seat; the maximum undistorted continuous sound pressure level for music signals is greater than 115 dB.

In combination with PCM, the system now opens up the impressive audio spectrum of digital 5.1 recordings when playing music from audio or video DVDs. The audio experience is the next best thing to a live performance with quality sound similar to what you get from a sophisticated home cinema system. In combination with the CDR-31 system, sound reproduction is generally in stereo. The system is immediately recognisable by the BOSE(R) logo on selected speakers.







Burmester(R) High-End Surround Sound System

The Burmester(R) High-End Surround Sound System was adapted specifically for the new Cayenne and offers superior total output and sound quality. The performance data figures provide impressive proof of this: 16 individually controlled speakers including a 300 W active subwoofer with Class D driver and 250 mm diaphragm diameter, 16 amplifier channels and a total output of more than 1,000 W.

The acoustically effective diaphragm area is over 2,400 cm2. A frequency range from 30 Hz to 20 kHz is available at every seat; the maximum undistorted continuous sound pressure level for music signals is greater than 120 dB. In combination with PCM, the Burmester(R) High-End Surround Sound System naturally also reproduces digital 5.1 recordings when playing back music from audio or video DVDs. In combination with the CDR-31 system, sound reproduction is generally in stereo. The consistent use of the highest quality materials and proven technologies from the Burmester(R) home hi-fi area ensures "best in class" sound quality in the entire signal chain. Three central goals can be achieved through the consistent use of glass fiber diaphragms in the mid-tone range: glass fiber is lighter than conventional paper diaphragms, enables more stable oscillations through its greater rigidity and leads to an undistorted sound through its higher internal damping.

Sound and technology are not the only areas of excellence offered by the Burmester(R) High-End Surround Sound System: its design also meets the highest standards. Externally, the system is recognizable by its discreet, silver colored trims with metal surface and Burmester(R) logos on selected loudspeaker covers. The unique sound and high-quality design of the Burmester(R) High-End Surround Sound System are therefore the perfect match for the new Cayenne.
