British audio company Bowers & Wilkins is debuting its latest car sound system in the equally newAston Martin DB12.
The car was revealed last week and now we know more about its optional B&W system, which is made up of 15 speakers and outputs up to 1,170 watts of power. Its installation marks a new partnership between Bowers & Wilkins and Aston Martin.
The system features proprietary technology like aluminium double-dome tweeters, Continuum mid-range drive units and dedicated 3D speakers in the car’s headlining for creating surround sound, plus a subwoofer for extra bass.
Working closely with Aston Martin to create a sound system tailored specifically for the DB12’s cabin,Bowers & Wilkinshas installed five 25mm Nautilus tweeters in the dashboard, doors and behind the B-pillar. These speakers feature spiralling diffusion channels that soak up reflected sound from the rear of each drive unit, Bowers says, reducing resonances and the distortion they create to a minimum.
