Bang & Olufsen’s 23 speaker 3D sound system will now accompany the Audi A8, for an incredible audio experience. Of the 23 speakers, 2 are full-range drivers in the A pillars while another two are placed in the headlining above the rear seats. With the potential to deliver 1920 Watts of power, the system’s full range drivers help create the 3D soundfield from a 5.1-channel or stereo recording. The settings are customizable as well, allowing the sound to be focused in either the front seats or the rear seats or both. Plus a dedicated Movie Set mode reproduces the full 5.1-channel soundtrack, giving users a cinema-like experience. Wolfram Jähn, sound/acoustics developer for the A8 explained that it’s the integration of loudspeakers at the right points on which the audio quality depends.
