Caratec Audio CAS213S sound system for Mercedes Benz Sprinter S907/910 for vehicles with MBUX and pre-equipment for DSP box black

Caratec Audio CAS213S sound system for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter S907/910 with MBUX and pre-equipment for DSP box (code E3D). For these models the versions CAS212S and CAS211S are available. The active Caratec Plug & Play sound system CAS213S and significantly optimizes the sound of the existing speakers in the vehicle. It consists of a compact 6-channel amplifier with integrated Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a subwoofer and a Plug & Play wiring harness. The active Caratec Plug & Play sound system consists of a compact amplifier (6-channel) with integrated DSP and a subwoofer

The amplifier optimizes the sound of the speakers present in the vehicle and drives the powerful subwoofer. This creates a completely new and convincing sound experience in no time at all. The sound detaches itself from the speakers and floats above the dashboard. The subwoofer and the relief of the originally installed speakers from low frequencies create a much clearer, lively sound image. Speech intelligibility is also significantly improved. This results in music enjoyment even at low volumes.

Possibly existing loudspeakers in the living area are driven by the amplifier via a high-pass filter with optimized frequency response. As a result, these speakers also sound more dynamic than before. A possibly existing center speaker is disconnected, the sound setup of the sound system tuned to the vehicle leads to a better sound. The plug & play wiring harness for the international standardization organization (ISO) connectors of the DSP Box preinstallation allows connection and installation in a very short time, separate connections to the vehicle are not required. The subwoofer is usually mounted under the passenger seat or the driver's seat. If there is no space there, it is also possible to mount it in another place (e.g. behind the driver's seat)
instead of the cover) is possible. If required, a 2m extension cable CAZ100L is optionally available.

Caratec's sound systems use digital amplifiers to drive the vehicle's loudspeakers and also offer a dedicated subwoofer. On the one hand, the standard speakers are relieved because they only have to play in their original frequency ranges and are relieved of bass reproduction - that alone gives significantly better sound quality. On the other hand, the control is carried out with considerably more power. The total power is 180 watts (sine wave) or 360 watts (music). This is made possible by a high-tech amplifier with a circuit board that is just half the size of a postcard.

It contains a converter that converts the analog signals from the four speaker outputs of the series radio into digital material. This is processed by a digital signal processor on the same circuit board
Sound processor (DSP) with 56-bit resolution and 50 MIPS processing power, which optimizes the frequency responses to the respective vehicle interior. The conversion back into analog signals to the
The speakers are driven by low-noise 24-bit digital-to-analog converters. Neither under- nor overvoltage can harm the amplifier, it is insensitive to short circuits to ground or positive and has an overtemperature protection. The subwoofer placed under the passenger seat has a bass reflex design with high-pass filter, measures 8 liters net volume and has a power handling of 100 watts sine.

The impedance of the 165-millimeter woofer is two times two ohms. Its hand-scooped cellulose cone is particularly torsion-resistant, is reliably guided even at large excursions by a long-term stable rubber surround and is protected by a steel cover. The drive is taken over by a double voice coil in conjunction with a particularly generously dimensioned ferrite magnet, which results in optimal Thiele/Small parameters. The high-pass filter provides a lower lower cutoff frequency and higher maximum sound pressure with reduced distortion. This effort results in a great sound experience, as extensive listening sessions have revealed.
