When you spend a lot on a luxury car, you naturally expect it to be perfect in all respects, but things don't always go as expected. The car owner likes listening to music when driving and he'd like to buy a top-class sound system for his ride. Later, he thought customized solutions might work better, then he came to Shanghai INNOW car shop for professional advice.

He has two requirements for upgrade. First, the upgrade must be damage-free and can not change the car interior. Second, the sound performance has to show obvious improvement. After detailed discussion and careful examination of the OEM audio system, the technician provided a customized solution which was favored by the car owner after several sessions of trial listening.

PRODUCTS USED

DSP: Rainbow SL PRO-P1250A

Front-stage speakers: Rainbow 3-way component set SL PRO-C360

Back-stage speakers: Rainbow 2-way component set SL PRO-C260

Center channel speaker: midrange driver from Rainbow GERMANIUM line

Front-stage amplifier: Rainbow DREAM 4100

Back-stage amplifier: Rainbow DREAM 4100

Woofer amplifier: Rainbow DREAM 4100

Soundproofing: STANDARTPLAST CSH Jewel Plus (from Russia)

The doors of this Porsche Panamera were finely made from high-quality materials. Even though, when removing the door panels, you could barely find any soundproofing materials on them. Given that the door noise would affect the performance of the sound system in the car, the technician carefully soundproofed all doors before installing the sound system.

After soundproofing, the technician mounted the 3-way component set SL PRO-C360 in the front of the car. Both the midrange and the mid woofer's diaphgram adopt golden spiral design that helps to reduce distortion and reproduce the authentic sound. The tweeter fitting into the OEM position also stands out, which coupled with the Germanium line midrange driver mounted in the center channel, brings good imaging. Rainbow 2-way component set SL PRO-C260 for the rear section coordinates well with the front stage, creating a concert hall like experience.

Since the OEM head unit lacks power and resolution, it can only produce mediocre audio sources. In other words, it can't give full play to the potential of the speaker system. To solve that problem, Rainbow SL-PRO P1250A was added. It features accurate sound-tuning functions. Together with 3 Rainbow DREAM 4100, the 4-channel power amplifier with whopping output, the whole system would present clear and substantial sound that is also full of emotion and details.

SOUND EFFECT

The sound from the upgraded sound system is not only natural and clear, but also provides wonderful imaging and staging, with which the car owner was very satisfied. Moreover, the car owner is full of praise for perfect mounting and service from INNOW.
