 GREAT British specialist Hi-Fi and Home Cinema loudspeaker manufacturer Bowers & Wilkins has worked with Jaguar designers to redefine the way audio systems are created for vehicles.
Bowers & Wilkins are best known for their home audio systems and they set out with the aim of providing the best ever audio experience in a car.
The company’s audio engineers brought 40 years' of experience in providing 'audio standard' systems for professional recording studios worldwide, including London's Abbey Road Studios, to the task.
Traditionally, car designers leave spaces in the car for audio systems to be installed. But Bowers & Wilkins audio specialists have worked in partnership with Jaguar's designers from the early concept stages of the new Jaguar XF to create an audio system which is designed to offer the best quality audio experience available in a car.
The speakers used make use of the advanced Dolby Pro Logic II 7.1 system to deliver a surround sound experience from any stereo source. The system’s four metal dome tweeters and high-powered rear-mounted subwoofer are complemented by nine individual Kevlar speakers carefully positioned in the car’s interior.
The use of Kevlar – more commonly associated with bullet-proof jackets - as a loudspeaker material minimises distortion, delivering clearer sound and finer detail.
Another Bowers & Wilkins' technology used in the new Jaguar XF is its metal-dome tweeter transducer, which extends treble response a full octave beyond traditional designs.
Bowers & Wilkins has created a 'Gold Reference' version of each component in its secure facility in Sussex. All production models are then judged against this reference to ensure that each car's audio performance is the best it can be.
Customers can already order the Jaguar XKR Portfolio with a Bowers & Wilkins audio system installed as standard.
