Many car owners will have such a question in their hearts, why does the car stereo have unique charm? Below we discuss the unique charm of car acoustics in depth together.

1, different components
Remember: when you buy a home stereo, you buy the whole thing; When you buy a car stereo, what you buy is basically spare parts.

For example, in the home stereo, you can choose a speaker box; In the car stereo, you can only choose the horn; In a home stereo, you buy equipment that works when plugged in. In a car stereo, you buy equipment that doesn't even have a socket (or a place to plug in if it does) or even a bare wire.



2. The listening environment is different
Remember: when you choose equipment, do not blindly from the car audio modification shop car audio test cabinet effect, because as long as the equipment from the test cabinet moved to the car, will completely become another kind of appearance.

Why is that? Because the environment changes, the space changes. In a car, with the exception of bass speakers (which are placed in the trunk), medium and treble systems do not have an auxiliary speaker, as in a home stereo or soundcheck cabinet. There is too little room in the car for the mid-range and tweeter speakers, too small even for the slightly larger mid-range speakers. So at home, a 4-inch speaker might do well in the middle and middle bass, but in the car, without a box to support it, the 4-inch unit will do badly in the middle and low. So, in the car, a 5 - or even 6-inch horn unit may offer only the mid-bass fullness of a 4-inch home speaker.

3. Different timbre feeling
Remember: the equipment in the car is used again top, to get the same experience of the family stereo, it is almost impossible, the car stereo has its own feeling characteristics.

This has a concern with the environment, the seat in the car is moved impossibly, and the space is narrow, the distance of horn and person ear is close and route twists and turns, impossible to resemble home acoustics to put a position at one's whim, so, the development of car acoustics inevitably produces a few experience standard that its photograph suits.



Sound and positioning. To put it simply, the human ear is receptive to positive music. Therefore, in the special environment of cars, it is ideal to try to make the sound in a positive way to make people feel the music. The sound source in the back seat of the car is only required to be auxiliary, and it is wrong to configure the sound of the rear seat horn over the sound of the front seat. And the real winning sound field is, in the front seat, we can clearly feel the clear vocal cords coming from the windshield, not from the bottom of the foot; In the back seat, try to feel the sounds coming from the front, not behind your ears. Therefore, the appearance of the middle and treble split horn makes the treble unit can promote the sound field accordingly. The rear backrest plane installation of the middle and treble horn is not the ideal position.

And to position, the difficulty of car acoustics is much bigger than home acoustics, because the horn distance of the left and right has deviation. To make different seat areas feel good music balance, the need to put the horn in different positions to correct the distance deviation, this is the installation of technical skills, sometimes also need to make some changes to the structure of the car. Some of the world's newest digital time-delayed signal processors deal with this problem fairly well, but they are expensive.

Because of these characteristics, extended out of the car audio features, more common is often in the car audio channel is more, should be installed more than one power amplifier to drive different speaker system, so as to form independent adjustment of the different parts, and in the home, often only need a power amplifier was enough, at least, was a former level after + level pattern.

As mentioned above, whether the owner feels the unique charm of the car stereo? If you are a car enthusiasts, so tell you a news, foreign popular owners and installation of technical personnel to dismantle the sound system. You might as well experience it yourself, it must also be interesting!
