BOSE "Premium Sound System" equipped with the new Honda Civic advanced EX grade

In September 2021, the 11th Honda "Civic", which made the ground concept "exhilarating Civic", was launched into the Japanese market. The Bose Premium Sound System was the first Civic audio for EX grade. Here we will deliver the audition report. See related images ◆ 12 speakers designed precisely. The tie between metal grill Bose and car audio was installed in the 1983 Cadillac "Seville" on the special tweeter. At this time, the world was born as a customized audio for the world for the first time in the world, which led to BOSE's audio system has been adopted by famous cars around the world. He has a deep connection with Honda, and has been well received in the first generation "NSX" and "Legend", which appeared in 2004. However, since the predecessor legend, Honda has once canceled the brand audio. Under such circumstances, Honda decided to introduce a collective planning vehicle development in the introduction of the 11th generation Civic, and to adopt a premiere brand as part of that. This time, following the direction of the sound creation of Honda and Bose, BOSE was selected as a joint development partner. The new Civic is equipped with a 12 -speaker Bose premium sound system designed precisely according to the renewed interior. The breakdown is to install a 17cm wide range speaker on the left and right front door for the front seat, install a tweeter on the left and right A pillar, and incorporate a 8cm midrange speaker in the center of the dashboard. The rear combined the left and right door to the 13cm wide range speaker and the tweeter on it. In addition, 8cm mid -range surround speaker was set up on the left and right rear quarters. The structure of the tweeter contained in the A pillar, especially in the A -pillar. The surface is made of a metal light grill, and the surrounding area that attaches the tweeter is horny. As a result, it has been devised so that the high -directional high range, which has a strong direction, can be radiated extensively so that it can reach every corner of the car. In addition to this, a subwoofer with the largest enclosure in the class with a volume of 10L is installed on the right side of the cargo room. This enables powerful bass playback. And the 12ch digital amplifier is driven by these, and the equalizer incorporated here has been customized for the new Civic. ◆ “CentralPoint”, which can be enjoyed at the best sound field, just turned on and listened to the best sound field, first performed on the driver's seat and the left side of the rear seat, and then driving in the driver's seat. The prepared audition sources were diverse, such as classical, jazz, and pops, but I decided to listen to the Diana Clare templation, which I happened to be a listening source. What was impressive to regenerate was that her singing and silky singing voice was delicate and faithfully reproduced. The bass play that continues from the start of the performance is carefully reproduced rhythmically, and the excitement of the singing voice is irresistibly comfortable. In particular, the drumstick that hits "Kang!" At the start of the performance is the realism that conveys the lingering sound. It is presumed that the processing applied to the tweeter part was successful. The stage feeling was beautifully reproduced on the dashboard, and the realism of playing seemed to be clearly transmitted. Here, I tried "CentralPoint" which this system has. This means that you can enjoy a spacious sound field, as if you are sitting in the center of music, no matter where you are in the car. Digital technology is used for signal processing, which allows the left and right 2ch sources to have a state -of -the -deterioration surround effect. If you turn on this mode, the whole will float floating and the atmosphere is surrounded by the performer. Still, Diana Clare's vocals are properly positioned in the center. I was able to listen to a solid low range with a core and a solid low range. In general, when it came to surround mode, it seemed that the localization was somewhat ambiguous and restless, but it can be said that the concept of surround has changed drastically as listening to this centerpoint. Next, I moved to the left rear seat for the passenger. Here, the center point gives the impression that the sense of presence has increased further and the wrapping condition increases. It may be because the subwoofer is closer to the lower range than the front seat. However, it took the low frequency range with the body, and I was able to listen to music in a more realistic sense. However, I was a little worried that the existence of the rear quarter speaker tended to be stronger. I think it was originally equipped with the aim of enhancing the surround effect, but the vocals seemed to be pulled slightly behind. However, such a sense of incongruity was almost gone in vocals without vocals. Rather, the feeling of being wrapped was stronger and the comfort was clearly increased. ◆ Sound that does not feel dissatisfied even if you raise the volume to the level that you feel comfortable, and it is finally a listening to start running. The selected route entered the Gulf Line from the Iikura Lamp, Iikura Lamp, and switched various systems at Tatsumi Daiichi PA. In addition, we decided to repeat the route from the Metropolitan Expressway Route 9 via Hakozaki JCT from the Kasumigaseki lamp. The sound was extremely comfortable. Here, listen to other pops and classics. The pops are firmly followed to a crisp performance, and even if you listen to it all the time, it will be fun. Classic expresses a dynamicness that makes the range of the range in a full orchestra, and reproduced in a high -definition sound of the violin. I don't feel dissatisfied with raising the volume to the level that I feel safe and comfortable while driving. Obviously, it can be said that it is a specification that makes you feel the difference between genuine audio you usually hear. The effect here is the mechanism called "Dynamic Speed ​​Compensation (DSC)". This is a technology that automatically adjusts the volume and sound quality according to the vehicle speed, and the driver can enjoy music comfortably without having to mess with the volume even if the driving speed rises. In fact, this function itself is not unusual. Many are equipped with a function to adjust the steps. BOSE automatically adjusts the volume of the music listening based on the noise level estimated from the vehicle speed for each frequency band in addition to the continuous variable. In other words, the correction target is not just a step -up / down of the volume. In this state, he ran on the Metropolitan Expressway or a general road, but he never adjusted the volume while driving. It is natural that the noise level rises as the speed rises, and some may become noisy on a slightly rough road. Nevertheless, he did not notice that the correction was performed and kept listening to music at a much more comfortable level. In other words, this means that the DSC control was so cleverly performed so that the crew was unaware. Nowadays, more and more people are enjoying music with earphones. However, it is certain that the music you listen to with your ears is released will be so relieved. Moreover, the "Bose Premium Sound" has the wonderfulness that the richness of the bass does not change even if the volume is lowered. There are passengers, and even if the volume is modest, the comfortable sound can be enjoyed. It can be said that the appeal of this system is that you can enjoy music in the best state regardless of volume.
