  B&W Brings Premium Sound To Jaguar

By Manisha Kanetkar | Thursday | 03/05/2007

Now this is a top-end alliance – luxury car maker Jaguar has teamed up with high-end HiFi brand Bowers & Wilkins to create the C-XF, a concept car, unveiled at the recent Detroit Motor Show.

B&W says it was involved in the concept car's development from the get-go so it could get the sound system absolutely right.

"The in-car environment is very complex. Restricted space, differing materials, and the need to satisfy multiple entertainment needs pose unique and often conflicting requirements," said B&W's Martin Lindsay.

The result is a Jaguar fitted out with a specifically designed B&W in-car audio system, featuring Micro-Matrix speaker panels, ‘Bass Beam' low frequency driver technology, Kevlar cone midrange speakers, diamond dome tweeters, selective-directivity arrays in the rear passenger compartment and a rear deck panel of bass and wide-dispersion drivers.

While this is a concept car, the collaborations marks the beginning of a Jaguar and B&W alliance"

"We recognise that consumers demand high-quality sound reproduction in their cars as well as in their homes. Achieving great sound in the car is viewed as the latest technological challenge for us, and we look forward to realising next-generation sound systems that set new standards for in-car entertainment," Lindsay added.
