Audison’s R&D department has been working tirelessly to deliver more advanced capabilities – here is what we get in bit Drive 1.2. 

This is a basic explanation of how we can use delay in Cars to get great sound in cars. Some concepts are simplified, and mathematics is avoided. Sound waves are pressure changes that travel through air at a given speed (the “speed of sound”). The traditional “squiggly line” is a graph of air pressure at one point in space, as the pressure changes move past a point in space, the air pressure at that point rises and falls. These air...

A note about how we make all Audison amplifiers, the “All Channels Driven” design philosophy. To Mr Emidio Vagnoni, “the father of Audison”, all audio amplifiers needed to be able to make rated power on all channels simultaneously. Anything less was a compromise. Some amplifiers today purposely “throttle back” some channels compared to others, deciding which channels need to make their rated power based on how they are being used. Now, designing an amplifier with purpose-specific channels is one thing....

DSP stands for Digital Signal Processing, a very fast form of computation that can be used in many products. Radar detectors, cruise controls, and sound systems all use DSP  chips today.  Let’s talk for a moment about how DSP works in car audio.  Take the great-sounding Audison Thesis speaker. Now, put it in a car. Wherever we install it in a car, it’s not a perfect speaker location. It might be in a door, or it might be in a dashboard, or...

Thanks to the Maestro AR interfaces, Audison AF Forza amplifiers can operate in the same manner – receiving pure, unprocessed sound which has not passed through the OEM amplification-and-processing stage, and integrating all the essential non-entertainment signals required in modern vehicles! The sound quality of an aftermarket head unit, with the integration and design of the OEM infotainment system – yours with AF Forza and Maestro! The installation is performed with integration T-harnesses, for maximum simplicity and efficiency. Many premium...

Some have been overwhelmed with the number of improvements in Audison AF Forza and bit Drive software.  We’ve often heard “where do we start? There are three big areas where Forza moves the category forward: 1 Power. Audison Forza 5-channel amp is now 1000 total watts RMS – over 2X the power! 100×4 at 4Ω, 600×1 @ 2Ω, RMS. The new AF Compact 8-channel is almost double the power of the model it replaces. The other amplifiers have similar increases....

    No category has been more confusing, or more disappointing, to in-car audiophiles than “high-resolution Bluetooth receivers”. Different handsets and different digital media players often deliver different sound-quality results, and it can be difficult to predict those results before the installation. Now, with the Audison B-CON audiophile Bluetooth receiver, you can guarantee performance. Audison B-CON is the first (and the only, at the time of this writing) Bluetooth 5.0® player designed for automotive use that has obtained the “Hi-Res...

Audison has engineered a system of BMW custom fit speakers – a 200 mm shallow-frame under seat woofer, 100 mm midranges with 3-post aluminum cast frames, and Tetelon textile-dome tweeters. The midrange and coaxials are available in both 3-post frame sizes used by BMW and MINI. Connection is plug-and-play. The under-seat woofers are available in both 2Ω and 4Ω values, while the other speakers are 4Ω. The speakers can be used as replacements with OEM amplification, but the best results...

For various reasons, OEM speaker outputs often have a muting protection circuit. Many of us have encountered this sort of muting behavior in OEM systems. Here’s some information about how it works. When the head unit turns on, the outputs are muted. This used to happen when the driver got in the car and turned on the ignition key. Today, it happens earlier – often when the user unlocks the door. This supports the vehicle’s use of the audio system to...
