Clarion takes HMI to the next level with SLIDETRAK for precise control of key features on the main unit.

Simply swipe your fingertip to easily adjust the volume.

Preset radio stations and CD track controls are also incorporated into the multifunctional display, so you can navigate through preset stations or select your favourite music track by sliding your finger to a side of the display.

SLIDETRAK also maximises available space on the main unit to create a large, easy-to-read display.

Handsfree conversations on Bluetooth ready mobile phones, supports greatly the safety in driving. Conversations are possible via wireless connection of the phones to the vehicle audio systems. With Bluetooth ready iPods, music reproduction from and control of iPods can be done through the main unit.

Colour-tuning the look of your audio system is easy. Clarion also lets you fine-tune the look of your source unit with 728-colour illumination. Choose from 13 different preset colours to let the DXZ786USB slowly morph through the entire spectrum or fine tune the Red, Green and Blue levels to match your dash perfectly.

Equipped with 6V/6ch outputs for reproduction of sources with high sound quality. Together with crossover settings, it can be used to output to various speaker systems like Front 2ch + Rear 2ch + Subwoofer 2ch.

To achieve optimum sound positioning, ideally each speaker should be located equidistantly from the listener. However, it is almost impossible to realise this within the environment of a car. Digital Time Alignment works to virtually change speaker distances, thus creating a seemingly optimal sound field. Adjustment is possible from 0 to 501.4 cm in 2.3 cm steps.

Separates the sound spectrum into different bands so you can minimise peaking and phase cancellation, which can result in muddy sound when using a 2-way or 3-way speaker system. Xover circuitry also optimises each output range, resulting in more natural and smoother transitions between ranges. And since it’s built-in, it requires no additional equipment or expertise. The cut-off frequency, filter, slope and phase can be adjusted for each band, enabling precise sound tuning. you can also set a Time Alignment value for each speaker for optimal sound matched to the vehicle’s acoustics.

SPEAKER SETTING

• Normal: F2ch + R2ch + SW2ch

• 3-way: HI2ch + MID2ch + SW2ch

• 2-way: HI2ch + MID2ch + R2ch

Support for audio compression formats such as MP3, WMA, and AAC, and digital rights management WMDRM 10 format, link with an iPod, and improvements in connectivity with USB devices - all these make it possible to seamlessly enjoy music with a variety of digital media.

Requires a portable audio player that is compatible with WMDRM 10 data playback.

Hear your music the way it was meant to be heard. Clarion’s Sound Restorer recreates the high frequency information that is lost during compression.

The result is clear and detailed sound.

The Digital Z-Enhancer lets you choose from 3 equalisation patterns to restore tonal balance by freely accentuating each of the high and low frequency ranges. Thanks to 6-step gain adjustment of 3 separate preset patterns, tailoring the sound to your system speakers and the selected audio source is now possible.

A key component in the transfer of digital data from a CD into analogue sound is Clarion’s 24-bit D/A converter. Because the digital realm is made up of unnaturally square sound waves, as opposed to the smoothly undulating sound waves characteristic of the real-world environment, Clarion’s embedded 24-bit D/A converter recreates the natural nuances and expressions lost during the sound reproduction process.
