    First ever sound system for open-top driving

    The pleasures of taking a long drive with the top down are incomparable with any other. The new A5/S5 Cabriolet is a beauty to look at but what makes it almost perfect is the Bang & Olufsen Sound System.

    The Bang & Olufsen Sound system includes 12 custom-made loudspeakers, 10 amplifiers and output power of over 500 watts designed to deliver the highest quality sound to listening to your favourite pieces of music in your Cabriolet; it matters not whether the top is down or not because of the specially designed tuend sound system. Sound can be optimised depending on the number and position of people in the car and the sound automatically adjusts according to the noise level in the car.

    Acoustic engineer for Bang & Olufsen Automotive, Patrick Hegarty, reveals it took them ten years to perfect the Audi. Price of the sleek car hasn’t been revealed yet.

    That technology has been around for quite some time now (f.e. BMW) 

    Still, nice to see that B&O and Audi continue their co-operation.
