Bang & Olufsen 5.1 Surround Sound for X5 and X6 - BMWBLOG (blog)

For decades, BMW’s go-to premium audio brand has been Harmon & Kardon. Even before Harmon’s acquisition of the Danish audio company , though, BMW has been offering Bang & Olufsen systems in its highest end cars. The BMW 7 Series, 6 Series and X5 and X6 models are all available with B&O sound systems. Bang & Olufsen didn’t start making in-car audio systems until 2005, however, since then it’s been pumping out some of the finest sounds ever to come from car audio. Using a Class D Amplifier, TrueImage sound processing and Dynamic Sound Optimization, the surround sound B&O system in the X5 and X6 is one of the best in the business. It takes B&O’s world-class sound engineers over 400 hours to fine tune, by both ear and instrument, the sound in each vehicle. Each speaker grille is milled out of solid aluminum and anodized in BMW’s PerlGlanz color. This level of sophistication is what sets B&O apart from other companies and gives the BMW X5 and X6 a real edge, in terms of in-car audio. With two different listening modes, the driver can tailor how they want to listen to their music. Source: www.bmwblog.com
