New graphic IC

By incorporating an integrated video IC, on-screen graphics switch more quickly and smoothly, and usability has been enhanced by allowing touch panel operation even while a video image is being shown in a small window.

BBE MP Process

* This diagram illustrates the BBE MP effect

BBE® MP for better sounding MP3/WMA/AAC files

BBE MP (Minimised Polynomial Non-Linear Saturation) process improves digitally compressed sound such as MP3/WMA/AAC by restoring the harmonics that are lost through compression, thereby reproducing the warmth, details and nuances that you would otherwise miss. BBE MP enhanced harmonics even serve to make regular CDs sound better.

Beat EQ for user customisable sound

In addition to providing 3 preset equalisation patterns ― BASS BOOST, IMPACT, and EXCITE ― Clarion’s Beat EQ even lets you freely customise the level and range of the bass, midrange and treble portions of each pattern. Depending on your mood and the type of music, you can tune the sound exactly to your liking for a more fulfilling listening experience.

Built-in High Pass Filter & Low Pass Filter

The internal High Pass and Low Pass filters allow you to set the frequency range of the audio signal that’s output to each channel to best match the acoustic characteristics of the front and rear speakers and the subwoofer.

24-bit D/A converter

Noise generated by conventional DAC ICs is distributed randomly throughout the frequency spectrum, including the audible range. To circumvent this, Clarion adopts a highperformance 24-bit DAC normally only found in expensive home audio systems. Not only does it cancel out unwanted noise well into the non-audible range, but it also extends the S/N ratio for clearer, more realistic sound.


Magna Bass EX

Clarion’s Magna Bass EX boosts the bass by nearly 10 dB at even lower frequencies around 50 Hz — lower than that of ordinary loudness circuits at around 100 Hz — to provide extra-low frequency impact. It even automatically compensates the volume level to ensure well-balanced dynamic bass at any level.


Dedicated rear vision camera RCA input

A dedicated rear vision camera input is equipped, so that you may install an optional camera enabling you to see the area behind your vehicle. The increased view encourages and facilitates safer driving (optional CAA185 required).

6-channel audio pre-out

Equipped with 2 channels for Front (L/R), 2 channels for Rear (L/R), and 2 channels for subwoofers, the full set of RCA line outputs allows upgrading to a full-scale AV system with plenty of support for future system expansions.

Get wirelessly connected using optional BLT373 Bluetooth® transceiver.
