Car audio innovators Hertz, may well have jumped the gun by foisting legendary status on the Mille Legend range on launch day. At the time, we raised our eyebrows, even though we know not to underestimate the Italian stars of car audio. Our facial muscles relaxed somewhat as we explored the specifications and discovered the […]

Dispersion is everything in a car in order to achieve focussed car audio! Despite claiming to work with some very fancy home hi-fi brands, motor manufacturers still insist on fitting speakers in sonically compromising positions. The speakers in most cars tend to fire straight at a drivers knees. If you are lucky, you may find […]

Skinz Wave Diffuser is a fascinating product. Looking more like a sound absorber than a diffuser, in practice it performs both jobs to an extent. But how does it save us from poor sound? A speaker produces sound by moving air. A cone vibrates at various frequencies and throws air forward………and backwards. Herein lies the […]

The term “classical music” can be very emotive. Many people will avoid anything that claims to be “classical music” like the plague! I am sad to admit that I was of this mind set myself. In my case however, I felt I had good cause. I never really minded the music and was exposed to […]

In 2015, Driving Sounds Magazine reviewed the then new Audison bit Play HD, hi res music server for the car. At the time, HD music (now known almost universally as “hi res”) was very new to the automotive world and so an explanatory article called “CD vs HD-audio” was included in the same issue of […]
