A short while ago, while testing an amplifier's maximum power output, we observed how significantly the power increased with higher supply voltage. This observation made us realize that we’ve never thoroughly examined the relationship between a vehicle's battery voltage and a car audio amplifier's maximum power output. It’s time to address that. Why Does Battery Voltage Matter Read more
Crossovers are an essential part of designing any audio system. From the passive designs used with a bookshelf or floor-standing speaker to three- and four-way electronic designs employed in car audio systems, ensuring signals combine correctly is crucial for delivering great sound. Crossovers can have different frequencies, slopes, and alignments. Understanding how audio Read more
It’s no exaggeration to say there are hundreds of dash cams on the market. Many are budget models plagued by low-resolution sensors, excessive image compression, and contrast issues. Others offer upgraded optics but still lack state-of-the-art convenience features. However, leading the way in surveillance technologies are dash cams like the Thinkware U3000.

Let’s discuss how human hearing works with respect to different Read more
We are kicking off the second chapter of Project: Broken Silence by diving into the Sony Mobile ES audio system design.

A reader requested that we compare the sound quality performance of wired and wireless Apple CarPlay. This is a great idea, as very little information is provided about the communication standards used to send audio signals wirelessly to a source unit. So, let’s look at distortion characteristics and frequency response to see if there is a performance difference. The Test Read more
