Audison is pleased to announce the launch of the 2.0 update for our renowned bit Drive software, now available for free download. This upgrade marks a significant advancement for enthusiasts and professionals in the car audio field, offering advanced tools for impeccable and personalized sound tuning. With bit Drive 2.0, every user has the opportunity to elevate their vehicle’s audio experience at no additional cost, leveraging our innovative integrated features.
AUTOMATED SYSTEM TUNING
ACCORDO Auto Level Alignment sets the levels of the output channels in order to satisfy a desired amplitude response specified by the user, ensuring optimal tonal balance suited to personal preference.
ACCORDO Auto Time Alignment sets the delays of the output channels in order to align the times of arrival of each speaker at the measurement position, ensuring optimal sound staging.
ACCORDO Auto EQ sets the equalizer of the output channels in order to improve the response of each speaker by correcting the unfavorable effects of the cabin’s acoustics, ensuring a perceptually-even frequency response both in amplitude and phase.
An upmixer delivers multichannel sound from two channels of stereo input. Upmixers help overcome many limitations of the automotive environment – they deliver symmetrical stereo presentations for multiple listening locations, and they increase the apparent size of the vehicle cabin.
This internal Upmixer is very flexible and can be configured to enable a variety of systems. The front left, right, and center channel outputs of the Upmixer deliver the stereo presentation. The rear surround channels increase the apparent size of the cabin by enhancing ambiance.
Possible Upmixed System Configurations:
The Upmixer can also be used without a subwoofer if desired.
Any of the five upmixed channels can be routed to any desired output channels. Once processed, they can be divided into band-limited, driver-specific channels using crossover filters. The Front Stereo can be full-range, active 2-way, or active 3-way, for example. The Center can be full range or active 2-way. Even the Rear Surround could be configured in this way, although this would be rare in practical application.
An intuitive interface in the main GUI allows for precise delay adjustments without the need to navigate through multiple windows. Direct access via keyboard or incremental control makes setup quick and efficient, ideal for technicians and enthusiasts who desire tailor-made configurations.
With import and export options, users can easily save and share their audio configurations. The 11-band parametric EQ offers further customization possibilities, tailoring the sound to the specific needs of each listener.
Further personalize your listening experience with preferred memories for different audio sources, automatically switching when moving between sources.
Added Turn On Setup feature: in the Default volatile data window it is now possible to choose volume/source/memory settings for each turn-on of the device
