Bose(R) Surround Sound System

BOSE(R) Surround Sound System (optional)

The BOSE Surround Sound System was developed specifically for Porsche and is optimally adapted to the new 911. A total of 13 loudspeakers (12 in the Cabriolet models), including an active subwoofer and centre speaker as well as a 7-channel digital amplifier guarantee an impressive audio experience. The rated power of the new amplifier has been increased from 325 to 385 W compared with the previous model.

When playing music from audio or video DVDs, the system opens up the impressive audio spectrum of digital 5.1 recordings. The sound of music in 5.1 format is already recorded in multi-channel format and the original information remains uncorrupted during playback.

NOTE: Further information can be found in the operating instructions.

Five full-size audio channels (front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right) and one effect channel for low frequencies provide authentic and natural stereophonic sound: Discrete 5.1 Surround Sound with voices and effects that can be located precisely from front and rear. The audio experience is the next best thing to a live performance with cinema-quality sound similar to what you get from a very sophisticated home cinema system.







Stereo sources, such as CDs, are played in a Surround mode, which is generated from the patented BOSE(R) Centerpoint(R) technology. The new Centerpoint(R) II algorithm extracts an even more precise and realistic stereophonic sound from the stereo signal.







SurroundStage(R) signal processing developed by BOSE(R) assigns each individual audio channel, whether from a DVD or generated through Centerpoint, to a selected combination of loudspeakers, thereby always ensuring optimally balanced Surround Sound for all seats.

In addition to high-quality stereophonic sound simulation, the extensive audio tuning capability of the BOSE(R) Surround Sound System offers perfectly attuned sound in every situation: as early as the development stage, sound reproduction was adapted exactly to the specific interior acoustics of the new 911. The dynamic Loudness function raises the bass sounds as the volume drops and thus compensates for the lowered sensitivity of the human ear at these frequencies. In addition, the AudioPilot(R) Noise Compensation Technology continually measures all sounds inside the vehicle using a microphone and automatically adapts the music that is playing to achieve a balanced sound in all driving situations.
