MB QUART Subwoofer premium design

2009-12-26T02:56:00.001-08:00

PREMIUM - Demanding Requirements

When MB QUART decided to design a premium subwoofer, they knew that it had to meet the high expectations of the MB QUART customer. It has to demonstrate all of the attributes that distinguish MB QUART from their competitors including sound quality, high output, unique design and reliability. One look at the new PWH subwoofer of MB QUART’s Premium-Line and all characteristics are clearly evident. The honeycomb cone and high roll surround provide the strength and excursion necessary for proper low frequency performance.

The 3” voice coil is mated to a custom molded cone support that spreads all of the pistons energy effectively across the entire cone body. This improves sound quality by reducing cone distortion common in larger subwoofers. Connecting your woofer is also a breeze with the new series/parallel wiring terminal. All connections are mounted on one end of the woofer and simple jumpers allow for series and parallel wiring without complication. A paintable plastic screw concealing ring provides the final cosmetic touch to an already incredible looking woofer.

With MB Quart, Now Every Seat is The Best Seat

2009-12-26T01:44:00.000-08:00

Today’s factory installed car audio systems are littered with poor speaker placement in a highly reflective environment that is not conducive to high performance audio listening. Replacing these speakers with high quality aftermarket units can provide better tonal quality but proper staging and imaging is still compromised due to these poor speaker installations. In the past, an elaborate and costly custom installation would be required to place the speakers in the proper location for optimum staging and imaging. With the introduction of MB QUART’s new groundbreaking WideSphere™ -Technology, those days are gone!

The heart of the WideSphere™ system is the new and unique tweeter technology now available throughout our Premium, Reference and Discus Series with its inverted titanium dome and high performance neodymium ring magnet. An extraordinarily wide radiation angle, an extremely low resonance frequency and tremendous power handling combined with outstanding linearity are the result of intensive research, computer simulations and decade-long experience with ultra light titanium as source material for tweeter domes. The use of new materials coupled with exhaustive engineering and tuning time leads to a specially defined connection of cap and surround calculated to the closest tolerances and a result far ahead of our competition. The spaciousness, precision and power handling all contribute to the new tweeter’s superb tonal balance in both on-axis and off-axis installations. Simply put, this is the most versatile high performance tweeter ever built for the car! This passion started in 1997 with the introduction of the first MB QUART Q-Line component system and continues today with the all new WideSphere™-Technology laden systems.

WideSphere™ is MB Quart’s name for a new inverted dome titanium tweeter design. WideSphere is an undisputable quantum leap forward in car audio technology. After years of research, MB Quart acoustical engineers developed a unique inverted titanium dome tweeter with asymmetrically curvature. What’s so unique? The new MB Quart inverted dome tweeter has a usable frequency range extending to 30kHz.

Because Every Seat Becomes The Best Seat

Discus Series speakers utilize WideSphere’s 180-degree sound dispersion technology which addresses a speaker’s inherent directional dispersion and beaming problems. WideSphere eliminates high frequency beaming permitting your MB Quart speakers to be positioned and mounted almost anywhere. And, now you can be seated almost anywhere too.

This unique asymmetrically shaped, pure RoHs titanium based, inverted dome is bonded to MB Quart’s proprietary closed-cell tangent-edge tweeter surround using aerospace adhesives. The end-result is a tweeter with off-axis dispersion 98% nearly identical to on-axis. This outstanding off-axis performance eliminates speaker directionality and high-frequency beaming permitting you and your MB Quart speakers to be positioned almost anywhere. So now every seat is the best seat for hearing your music. That is, as long as you have MB Quart loudspeaker’s with WideSphere Technology.

Reverse Tilt™ Mechanism

Depending on the vehicle, in-car monitors are installed in a variety of heights and angles, and this sometimes results in reduced visibility due to reflected glare from sunlight. Kenwood’s solution is the exclusive Reverse Tilt™ mechanism: in addition to the traditional tilt mechanism that allows the bottom of the monitor to be tilted forward over 5 positions, Reverse Tilt™ also allows the top of the monitor to tilt forward to eliminate reflected glare.

Built-In Sirius Satellite Protocol

Kenwood Multimedia products offer more value by including a Sirius SSP interface. By simply adding a Kenwood CA-SR20V adapter cable, you can connect a Sirius SC-C1C tuner or a SC-VDOC1 car dock cradle for your portable Sirius tuner.

Check out the latest JBL® amplifiers, multielements, subwoofers and component systems, all designed for serious enthusiasts. You’ll hear why JBL engineers put all of their passion into developing outstanding automotive audio products, like nobody else in the business.

amplifiers
Amplifiers allow you to get the most out of your speakers and subwoofers by delivering a clean high-power signal. A system that includes subwoofers, component systems and multielement speakers can really benefit from the addition of an amplifier. JBL offers a wide variety of them to meet and exceed your needs.

sound enhancers
Are you looking to optimize your vehicle’s sound system? Component systems are the perfect way to put together a system with superior imaging. These systems consist of a midrange/woofer and separate tweeter. In most cases, these systems also come with a pair of separate passive-crossover networks.

subwoofers
Adding a subwoofer to your vehicle’s audio system may be the most important upgrade you could make to it. Subwoofers come in a variety of sizes and configurations. Whether you're adding bass to a factory system or building a trophy-winning competition system, JBL has a subwoofer for your application. Each JBL subwoofer can be interfaced with a variety of enclosures, from pre-made to custom-made for your specific vehicle.

speakers
JBL loudspeakers are known for their articulated sound. They can be found in many of the world’s most prestigious locations, including clubs, cinemas, recording studios, concert halls and outdoor stadiums, as well as in homes and vehicles. These speakers are for these who won’t compromise – in the studio, at home or on the road.

The Best Car Audio System with components best quality

2009-12-20T00:13:00.000-08:00

In order to get the most out of your custom car audio system you need to do a little planning. Unlike home audio components, car audio components do not have the same connection standards, input levels or output levels. Have you ever connected a home stereo CD player to a home stereo amplifier and then had to adjust the levels to make them work? Of course not. But you will have to in car audio. I won't get into the details of each component right now but I will tell you what to look for in each component in terms of level setting.

Head Unit

This is the term for your in-dash radio source unit, whether it be CD, cassette or whatever. The back of the aftermarket radio should have at least one pair of RCA jacks shown below (most RCA jacks will be flush mounted in the rear of the radio).

If it doesn't then you will need a speaker level to RCA (low level) converter such as the one below (or an amplifier with a built in converter). This would be true of a factory radio/head unit. Premium factory systems such as Bose, JBL, etc will need specialized (more expensive and complicated) adapters.

The low-level music signal travels out of the radio through these jacks into RCA cables (shown below), and then on to your next component (equalizer, crossover, amplifier, etc.).

Most car audio components are "unbalanced" and will use these simple cables. The specification you will want to look for on the head unit is the "output voltage". The minimum is usually 0.5 volts but 2 volts and above is common in high end units. More is better in this case. You want a high output voltage to help minimize the noise in your system. A higher output voltage doesn't always mean your system noise will be lower but it helps. I would not consider a low output voltage to be a "deal killer" unless you plan on competing in car audio competitions.

Signal Processors

Crossovers, equalizers and other signal processing units should have two specifications. An input voltage and an output voltage. As long as your head unit output voltage is within the voltage that your signal processor can handle you will be OK. Your signal processor input voltage will have an adjustment feature that will help you match the two voltages. The output voltage of the signal processor will be similar to the head unit output voltage. The more the better. It is probably less critical to have high voltage output here if your signal processor is near your amplifiers. This is because there will be less chance of noise radiating into the signal cable over such a short distance.

Amplifiers

Amplifiers have an input voltage range much like signal processors. Again, you want to make sure that the input section of your amplifier can handle the output voltage of your head unit or signal processor. As long as the input voltage of the previous component doesn't exceed the range of your amplifier you should be OK.

Level Setting for Beginners

Level setting, done by ear, is more art than science. It can be done using an oscilloscope but since few people have one of those laying around we'll cover doing it by ear. Basically you want to start with the first component in the chain (the head unit) and work your way to the last component (the amplifier). NOTE: You can be exposed to very loud volumes during this process so it is wise to wear hearing protection in most cases. You should still be able to hear the distortion through the attenuated hearing protection.

Start by turning all of the input level adjustment knobs (gain controls) on your components fully counter-clockwise (to their minimum setting). Set the tone controls (bass, treble, loudness) on your head unit to no boost (bass and treble level = 0 and loudness is off). If you have more than one RCA pair you will want to set each gain adjustment separately. Make sure your fader and balance controls are set to the channel you want to adjust first. This can be an individual channel if you have individual gain adjustments or a pair of channels if you have one gain for two channels.
Next set all of your equalizers settings (if you have an equalizer) to the center (detent) position so they produce no boost or cut. What we want is as pure a signal as possible.
Put in some good quality source material, preferably a CD with strong output and a clean recording. Hard rock would be a bad choice here. Try something cleaner, maybe acoustic, that you're familiar with.
Turn the deck's volume up slowly until you begin to hear distortion. When you hear it, stop and back off slightly until you no longer hear it. If you don't hear distortion, even when the volume is all of the way up then you have a quality head unit. That's what we're looking for.
Now with your head unit at maximum undistorted volume move on to the next component. Adjust it's input gain until you begin to hear distortion. Back off slightly.
Continue this process until you have all of the components in the chain at their maximum undistorted level.
When you reach the amplifiers you may need to wear hearing protection to adjust them to their maximum level. As before, turn up the gain until you hear audible distortion. This should be audible even with earplugs in. But honestly, if you have to wear earplugs to listen the distortion level is probably not a factor :)

That's it. Play some music and verify that everything sounds right. Congratulations! You've just learned to properly adjust the settings on your car audio system.
