Whether true-to-nature sound reproduction or voluminous surround sound: With this system you are the one who chooses the sound in your car. No matter what you decide, it will be top class because all the components are precisely tailored to the acoustic characteristics of the vehicle.

The high-end surround sound system developed jointly with Bang & Olufsen features Frontbass technology and a total of 14 high-performance speakers, turning the vehicle interior into a concert hall with breath-taking acoustics. It is the perfect complement to the optional COMAND Online multimedia system .

The DSP sound processor generates different sound settings in conjunction with the ICEpower amplifier, with up to 1200 Watts and impressive 7.1 surround sound. With the "Acoustic Lens Technology" of the tweeters, passengers can experience a virtual sound stage.

On long journeys, too, they can treat themselves to an exceptional sound experience, because driving noises are neutralised. To this end the sound volume is increased depending on the vehicle speed – not across the board, but individually for every single speaker and individually for the different frequencies.

The high design standards from Bang & Olufsen can be seen in details such as the illuminated tweeters and the high-quality aluminium speaker grilles.
