MTX Audio Announces New Audio Kit For Can Am X3 Vehicles

Posted on by in Featured and tagged .

PHOENIX, AZ (04.02.2021) – MTX Audio, of the MiTek Electronics and Communications Group, is announcing the introduction of all new audio kits and components to their lineup for select Can-Am Maverick X3 model vehicles. This new offering is building off the success of the Polaris RZR audio kits introduced last year and will be available for most 2017 and newer model vehicles.

The new components will consist of a low-profile dash mounting kit that works with our AWMC3 media receiver, fully assembled front upper and separate lower speaker enclosures as well as available driver and passenger loaded subwoofer enclosures.

The source unit mounting kit features the lowest profile of any on the market and mounts using existing factory mounting points. It retains full access to the factory fuse panel and does not interfere with any factory or aftermarket intrusion bars. The mounting shroud is factory color and texture matched for a seamless look and feel once installed.

The upper dash speakers incorporate a newly developed 4-inch coaxial driver with neodymium motor structure designed to deliver higher output and better clarity than standard off the shelf 4-inch speakers.  This is combined with a weather tight enclosure that fits to the upper dash panels and uses a Rider Aligned Acoustical Design (R.A.A.D.) that delivers more on-axis sound than other designs and features an integrated plug and play harness. Additionally, the design does not require additional brackets or major modification to the upper panels and fitment works with all factory and aftermarket roll cages which feature intrusion bars.

The lower kick panel enclosures use a 6.5-inch coaxial driver with integrated RGB lighting in a weathertight plug and play design.  The harness also integrates an expansion plug to easily add-on the upper dash speakers eliminating the need for extensive rewiring when adding them into the system. The Fully Adjustable, Single Tool (F.A.S.T.) mounting system uses powder coated machined billet aluminum clamps and is designed to give maximum fitment flexibility. This allows the installer to adjust the placement relative to the vehicles body panels eliminating gap issues and ensuring the best fit possible.

The sub enclosures consist of an industry first, high output 12-inch subwoofer in a sealed Slim Line Enclosure Design (S.L.E.D.) that mounts under the seats. The enclosures are down firing with integrated 300-watt shallow mount subwoofers and will not interfere with any of the vehicles high/low position seat adjustability for both factory and aftermarket seats. Installation is made easy with our One Tool Installation System (O.T.I.S.) which reduces the install time and complexity eliminating the need for multiple tools or vehicle modification. High density Neoprene foam has been applied to all contact points to eliminate panel rattles and an anti-vibration kit with installation tool is provided in the package.

Also being introduced are all new complete plug and play packages. These packages will be available in three, five, six or eight speaker layouts and all will incorporate 1000-watts of RMS amplifier power to drive them. They will be packaged with everything needed for installation including integrated audio and power harnesses as well as all necessary hardware. Installation of the kits requires minimal vehicle modification, and each individual component installs in an average of 5-15 minutes. Comprehensive installation videos will also be available for step-by step guided instruction showing the entire process, start to finish.

“Consumer expectations have risen and it’s not just about power and the number of speakers anymore. Consumers need to trust that the product sounds just as good with helmets on and the throttle pinned as it does while hanging around camp.” said Director of Sales and Marketing, Jason Fickas. “The level of thought and detail that has gone into these kits is unmatched in the industry both in performance and integration, and we’re anxious for our customers to see the results of combining the ground-up resources of MTX with a talented development team who just happen to be passionate enthusiasts as well.”

The new Can-Am X3 kits and components are slotted to start shipping in June and more details will follow soon. Be sure to follow us on social media or check out our website for more details as they develop.

NAV-TV Adds Audi MIB3 Infotainment Platform Compatibility to ZEN-V Advanced Amplifier Interface

Posted on by in Industry and tagged .

CORAL SPRINGS, FL (04.02.2021) – NAV-TV Corp. has announced that Audi MIB3 has been added to the ZEN-V compatibility list.

 The ZEN-V advance amplifier interface is now compatible with 2020 and 2021 Audi vehicles equipped with the MIB3 system. The ZEN-V allows the seamless addition of aftermarket amplifiers into compatible vehicles, delivering audiophile-quality sound without compromising the vehicle’s factory fit, finish or features. ZEN-V is the first aftermarket product utilizing MOST®150 globally.

Follow @navtv_usa on instagram

Utilizing the same processing power as NAV-TV’s competition proven M650-GM, the ZEN-V produces a completely flat audio output without any factory time delay or equalization, eliminating the need for summing devices, an audio correction DSP or the removal of the factory audio compensation microphones.  Installation of the interface requires no modification to the vehicle and is compatible with both amplified and non amplified factory systems.

Volume, Fade, Balance and Bass/Treble tone controls are retained through the factory radio and echo cancelation for the factory Bluetooth hands-free system is supported.

Utilizing a 128 bit floating point DSP and 192 kHz 32 bit DAC, the ZEN-V produces a 12 channel analog output with a S/N Ratio of 112dB. For vehicles with video playback capability, the ZEN-V supports 7.1 and 5.1 audio[1}. The unit provides a 500mA output for controlling aftermarket devices and, additionally, retains the factory equalizer.

 For use with 3rd party digital sound processors, the ZEN-V  includes a variable TOSlink digital output which may be used simultaneously with the analog outputs, or by itself. The variable digital output allows for the system volume to be controlled via the factory radio and steering wheel controls without the need to access any 3rd party controller.

 For ease of use, the ZEN-V  is configurable through dip switch settings.  User selectable features of the ZEN-V are:

 ·         Optional time alignment to driver

·         Full scale audio or -12dB attenuation

·         7.1 downmix to stereo on TOSlink or TOSlink mapped to the front outputs

·         Loudness on or off

·         Enables factory subwoofer control

Vehicles will require the additional MIB3-MOST PRG programmer prior to the installation of the ZEN-V[3]. The MIB3-MOST PRG is included in the MIB3 bundle and comes with unlimited usage.

The ZEN-V  MIB3 Bundle (NTV-KIT997) is currently available and shipping. 

To place an order, or for more information on the ZEN-V, contact your NAV-TV sales representative at (866) 477-3336  (USA and Canada toll free) or (561) 955-9770

Audiomobile Ships Largest “Evo” Subwoofer

Posted on by in Industry and tagged .

LAS VEGAS, NV (04.02.2021) – Audiomobile has introduced their latest ‘Advanced Technology’ car audio subwoofers – the EVO “24” Series.  Built on the proven performance of the highly-acclaimed Evo series platform, the EVO 2412 features an array of unique performance technologies, including low-profile SLX cast alloy frame, fully CNC machined motor, proprietary Shaped-Manifold-Gap (“SMG”) compact, vented motor, resulting in the longest excursion, slimline  subwoofer on the market.

  • Class-leading power-handling and excursion envelope
  • No axial motor-vent provides minimal enclosure depth
  • Premium “CLS” Kevlar Composite Laminated Sandwich cone
  • Shallow mounting depth of 117 mm / 4.6”

Rated at 500 watts RMS, the Evo 2412 delivers remarkable 16 mm of one-way linear Xmax, making it the longest excursion, slim-line, 12-inch subwoofer available.  This
rare combination of very low resonant frequency, plus modest VAS, allows it to deliver full-size 12 performance, but works optimally in enclosures under .65 cf, as well as in reflex / ported boxes, under .95 cf net volume.

The proprietary SMG motor includes a unique “thermal-transfer path,” which routes hot air away from the voice coil and motor, thru passages, that allow the heated air to be exhausted thru and dissipated by the cast aluminum frame, plus provides additional convection cooling to the huge conduction heatsink provided by the motor and extended gap-plate.  This dual mode technology offers significantly increased long-term power handling, and reduced power-compression at high-output levels.

In addition, the high-performance suspension features a heavy-duty 25 mm premium SBR rubber surround, 8” flat-spyder, with ‘in-line’ lead wires, to allow over 2-inches of peak to peak excursion provided by the unique motor. 

This powerful, compact, proprietary motor design (1.5” deep), delivers symmetrical magnetic field, for reduced distortion and results in a driver without equal, in micro-box applications.

The MSRP on the Evo 2412 D4 is $495.00

WOW Electronics Brings Alpine “WOW” to the Showroom

Posted on by in Featured and tagged .

EASTPOINT, MI (04.01.2021) – WOW Electronics recently completed a major showroom makeover at their Eastpointe store. The showroom now definitely has the Alpine ‘WOW’ factor.

Brothers Rick and JD Daniels have 2 locations in the Detroit area and decided to kickoff the 2021 season with a new look in their Eastpointe store showroom. The Alpine brand has been a staple with WOW Electronics for over a decade.

This image in the new showroom included senior Alpine staff members who took the short ride from Alpine’s HQ in Auburn Hills MI to experience the Alpine ‘WOW’ factor. JD Daniels-WOW, Mike Schafer-Alpine Area Rep, Rick Daniels-WOW, Ed Moriarty-Alpine Assistant VP, Chris Reavis-Alpine Brand Specialist, Kunihiko Sato-Alpine Sr Planning, Robert Hill-Alpine President and Dan Sparks-Alpine Sales Manager.

“Alpine has been very supportive through the years. When we decided to do the makeover of the showroom at our Eastpointe store we approached Alpine through our area representatives Mike Schafer and Dan Sparks. Very soon we got the go ahead and got started. The room itself, about 20’ by 30’, needed some work on the ceiling, floor and paint. While that work was being done, all was in progress at Alpine to send cool lifestyle graphics. Product and display items were soon shipped and we got going on the actual showroom setup,” JD Daniels related.

The Alpine Halo Wall of Bass is extremely loud and shakes the WOW walls!

Daniels continued, “It took about 5 full days to assemble, set up the displays and install all the Alpine gear. During that time Alpine team members Chris Reavis, Mike Schafer and Dan Sparks put in many hours to bring it all together. After a few adjustments the showroom in the store definitely rocked with the Alpine ‘WOW’ Factor.”

Once the room was completed a meeting was set for senior staff members from Alpine Electronics Auburn Hills MI HQ to make the short trip to experience the new WOW Electronics showroom and the Alpine ‘WOW’ factor.

 Customers entering the store proceed into the showroom and experience the Alpine ‘WOW’ factor.

“Everyone at the meeting saw and felt the Alpine ‘WOW’ Factor. Our customers definitely do also. Our store is setup so traffic flows into that showroom. We keep music playing all the time. When we crank the volume, and customers hear and feel the 12 Alpine subs, their eyes light up and there is a smile on their face. Very importantly too, they are making an Alpine purchases and telling their friends,” Daniels concluded.

The Team at WOW Electronics makes frequent social media posts and highlight the Alpine ‘WOW’ factor in the new showroom.

The Daniels brothers have been in the electronics business for parts of 3 decades. Part of that time was with cellular telephone stores in the early days. We’ve Only Wireless became today’s WOW Electronics.

A big 12volt Thank You to all that contributed to this article with phone calls and txts. Thank you to Chris Reavis for the super images.

KENWOOD Introduces the World’s First Anti-Viral Receiver

Posted on by in Industry and tagged .

LONG BEACH, CA (04.01.2021) – KENWOOD USA has introduced a new line of MASK CD receivers with ZapoGerm technology. The eXcelon KDC-X569UV kills germs and viruses on the surface of CD’s. How does it work? A CD is placed in the CD receiver and bathed with excessive Ultraviolet light while it’s playing. In testing, this treatment has been shown to mitigate the transfer of COVID-19, COVID-20, the common flu and a host of other germs and viruses that live on the surface of objects by up to 28%. Dave Hoag, JVCKENWOOD’s Executive VP stated: “This is the first environmentally and socially conscience automotive receiver to come to market. It’s a game changer.”

KENWOOD plans to expand this technology into DVD receivers in late 2022. Mike Roberts, KENWOOD’s VP of Sales and Marketing said: “We wanted to start with CD receivers because they represent a segment of the market that could use a boost from a breakthrough technology like ZapoGerm. It’s a perfect time to revive the iconic MASK line of receivers and bring them into the 21st Century.”

When asked if the UV light in the CD receiver could affect the laser’s ability to track the CD, Rick Noetzli, KENWOOD’s Sr. Product Manager said: “The light only diminishes the receiver’s ability to read the disc by 15%, and we found that playback fidelity only decreased 15-18%. Our study groups showed that the compromise was still better than most compressed audio files, and acceptable for people to finally feel safe in their cars.”

The KDC-X569UV will be available in early 2022, at a projected retail price of $699.00 (based on decreased chip availability, increased parts costs, tariffs, and shipping costs).

For detailed information on specific features of the receiver, please view its respective product page at www.kenwood.com/usa/car.

Wilson Electronics Announces Most Powerful RV Cell Booster on the Market – weBoost Destination RV

Posted on by in Industry.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT (04.01.2021) Wilson Electronics has announced the launch of the weBoost Destination RV, a powerful, consumer-friendly cell signal booster designed to provide solid cellular connectivity in stationary touring and destination RVs, toy haulers and trailers. Compatible with all mobile devices and wireless carriers in North America, the booster allows users to enjoy optimal call quality, fewer dead zones, uninterrupted texts and faster data streaming.

“As the pandemic continues, more and more people are turning to RVs as a safe, responsible way to travel and get beyond their homes’ four walls,” said Wilson Electronics’ CEO Bruce Lancaster. “ The Destination RV is the obvious choice for anyone that’s looking to ensure strong cell signal on any cellular-connected device, no matter where ‘home’ is that month.”

Over the past year, the RV industry has seen huge growth. In an industry previously dominated by retirees, RVs are now being increasingly utilized by young families and couples as remote working and learning opportunities have increased. In fact, 82% of first-time campers in 2020 had children in their household, and interest in full-time RVing is highest among millennials, according to Kampgrounds of America’s annual North American Camping Report. These younger campers need consistent access to technology in order to meet remote work and learning responsibilities, but the Wi-Fi offered by campgrounds is often too weak or spotty to be reliable for these needs.

The weBoost Destination RV provides the perfect solution. Whether to stay safe in emergencies, connect with friends and family, or continue to work and learn remotely from anywhere, weBoost’s new booster is a simple, reliable way to improve cellular connectivity in RVs, toy haulers and trailers.

The Destination RV combines the mobility of an RV cell signal booster kit with the power of a residential cell signal booster. Utilizing the weBoost Home MultiRoom’s powerful amplifier and external antenna to provide a max gain of 65 dB, the Destination RV can reach far away cell towers with ease. The weBoost Destination RV is also optimized for the continued rollout of 5G and prepared to boost cell signal for all major carriers for the next decade and beyond.

Out of the box, the Destination RV features everything needed for easy, do-it-yourself installation, including:

  • Cell signal booster
  • Inside antenna
  • Outside directional antenna
  • 25 ft. telescoping pole
  • Outside antenna mounting hardware
  • Power supply and cables

How it works: The powerful exterior antenna reaches out to cell phone towers to receive a signal. The Destination RV booster receives this outside signal and amplifies it using a series of sophisticated low noise amplifiers and filters. This amplified signal is broadcast through the inside antenna and back to the tower, providing stronger, more reliable calls, texting and data in the RV.

Installation takes about 30 minutes for most consumers, and each subsequent takedown and setup when changing the RV’s stationary location takes about 10 minutes.

Certified by the FCC and Industry Canada and pre-approved by all carriers, the weBoost Destination RV is now available for purchase online at weBoost.com, weBoost.ca, or through authorized resellers for $649.99 USD or $899.99 CAD. The only cellular booster company that designs, assembles and tests its products solely in the U.S., all weBoost cellular signal boosters feature a two-year manufacturer’s warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

The first wave of new products from this team, including two new marine speaker lines, debuted last summer, and many more products are scheduled for delivery in 2021. The Clarion Marine brand also returned to the marine retail channel in core markets, allowing JL Audio to position the Clarion Marine brand for success. With this announcement, the brand’s current and future products will now be made available to a global network of OEM customers, resellers and retailers.

“We are proud to expand our strategic licensing agreement with JL Audio,” said Talal Kakish, president of Faurecia Clarion Electronics North America. “This relationship not only adds value to both companies but enables the end-consumer to benefit from our dynamic, innovative audio technologies.”
