Caratec Audio CAS208D sound system for Fiat Ducato/Citroen Jumper/Peugeot Boxer from 2007 with Caratec speaker set CAK1650.DU. with speakers for the living area black

Caratec Audio CAS208D sound system for Fiat Ducato, Citroen Jumper and Peugeot Boxer from 2007. The active Caratec Plug & Play sound system CAS208D and significantly optimizes the sound of the speakers. It consists of a compact 6-channel amplifier with integrated DSP, a subwoofer and a plug & play wiring harness. The set includes two compact speakers for the living area, which are very easy to integrate thanks to the three supplied housing variants for recessed, surface and corner mounting.

The active Caratec Plug & Play sound system consists of a compact amplifier (6-channel) with integrated DSP (Digital Signal Processor)and a subwoofer. The amplifier further optimizes the sound of the retrofitted Caratec CAK1650.DU speakers and drives the powerful subwoofer. This creates a completely new and convincing sound experience in the blink of an eye. The sound detaches itself from the speakers and floats above the dashboard. The subwoofer and the relief of the originally installed speakers from low frequencies create a much clearer, lively sound image. Speech intelligibility is also significantly improved. This results in music enjoyment even at low volumes.

Suitable for all radios except the original Fiat radio.Suitable for vehicles with retrofitted Caratec speakers CAK1650.DU in the front doors.

The plug & play wiring harness for the radio's ISO connectors enables connection and installation in a very short time; separate connections to the vehicle are not required. The subwoofer is usually mounted under the passenger seat or the driver's seat. If there is no space there, it is also possible to mount it in another place (e.g. behind the driver's seat instead of the cover). If necessary, a 2m extension cable CAZ100L is optionally available. The rear speakers are connected to the leads available at the body interface. Cables and plugs are included in delivery.

Caratec's sound systems use digital amplifiers to drive the vehicle's speakers and also offer a dedicated subwoofer. On the one hand, the standard loudspeakers are relieved because they only have to play in their original frequency ranges and are relieved of bass reproduction - that alone gives significantly better sound quality. On the other hand, the control is carried out with considerably more power. The total power is 180 watts (sine wave) or 360 watts (music). This is made possible by a high-tech amplifier with a circuit board that is just half the size of a postcard. It contains a converter that converts the analog signals from the four speaker outputs of the series radio into digital material. This is processed by a digital sound processor (DSP) with 56-bit resolution and 50 MIPS computing power located on the same circuit board, which optimizes the frequency responses to suit the respective vehicle interior. The conversion back into analog signals for the
The speakers are driven by low-noise 24-bit digital-to-analog converters.

The amplifier can neither be damaged by under- nor overvoltage, it is insensitive to short circuits to ground or plus and has an overtemperature protection. The subwoofer placed under the passenger seat has a bass reflex design with high-pass filter, measures 8 liters net volume and has a power handling of 100 watts sine. The impedance of the 165-millimeter woofer is two times two ohms. Its hand-scooped cellulose cone is particularly torsion-resistant, is reliably guided by a long-term stable rubber surround even at large excursions, and is protected by a steel cover. The drive is taken over by a double voice coil in conjunction with a particularly generously dimensioned ferrite magnet, which results in optimal Thiele/Small parameters. The high-pass filter provides a lower lower cutoff frequency and higher maximum sound pressure with reduced distortion. This effort results in a great sound experience, as the
