Overview

Technical information

Product description

The details

Accelerate into the future of exclusive sound

with innovative technologies: with the HiFi
loudspeaker system, you can enjoy quality
with a transparency and brilliance never heard
before.

BMW's novel audio concept involves loudspeakers

in HiFi versions 10 and stands out for its neutral,
unobtrusive sound. The loudspeakers permit a
homogeneous playback as well as a higher and
undistorted maximum level due to their enhanced
power output.

Optimum, vehicle-specific adaptation of loudspeaker components with separate amplifier/

equaliser.

Special vehicle-specific features:

E90/91/92/93, E60/61, E63/64, E65/66

Your benefits

Full-bodied, transparent sound quality featuring

powerful basses and brilliant trebles.

Perfect stereo effect at all seats.

Full-bodied depth of sound even at low

volumes.

Sound effect independent of driving speed.

2 central woofers are positioned under the front

seats. The necessary enclosure volume for the
central woofers is obtained by connecting the
loudspeakers to the side thresholds.

Benefits / notes

Stereo effect at all seats without changing

balance due to optimum orientation of
loudspeakers. This is achieved by the exact
alignment of the dome tweeters, while the
directivity of the speakers and the distance
between them complement each other
perfectly.

High output of power amplifiers permits fullbodied, low-distortion sound at all amplitude
ranges.

The complex signal processing system

maintains uniform sound quality at all driving
speeds.

In contrast to retrofitted solutions, the system's

elegant apperance is in line with the BMW highquality interior. No additional installation efforts
with the risk of damage to the inside panelling.

Fully compatible with the BMW radio units and

the
requirements
for
electromagnetic
compatibility.

With a power amplifier on each loudspeaker,

the system can be operated at maximum
output level with only minimal distortion - more
power is available for each loudspeaker.

By using multichannel loudspeaker systems,

the frequency range can be distributed over
several loudspeakers, providing a clearer and
more differentiated transmission of bass,
midrange and treble frequencies and creating a
full-bodied sound due to forceful basses and
brilliant trebles.
