Caratec Audio CAS211S sound system for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter S907/910 for vehicles with radio upgrade black

Caratec Audio CAS211S sound system for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter S907/910 with radio upgrade. Not suitable for vehicles with MBUX. For these models the versions CAS212S and CAS213S are available. The active Caratec Plug & Play sound system CAS211S and significantly optimizes the sound of the existing speakers in the vehicle. It consists of a compact 6-channel amplifier with integrated DSP, a subwoofer and a plug & play wiring harness.

The active Caratec Plug & Play sound system consists of a compact amplifier (6-channel) with integrated (digital signal processor)DSP and a subwoofer. The amplifier optimizes the sound of the in the vehicle existing
Speakers and drives the powerful subwoofer. This creates a completely new and convincing sound experience in no time at all. 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.

Possibly existing loudspeakers in the living area are driven by the amplifier via a high-pass filter with optimized frequency response. As a result, these speakers also sound more dynamic than before. Any center speaker that may be present is disconnected, and the sound system's sound setup, which is tuned to the vehicle, thus results in a better sound.

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 required, a 2m extension cable CAZ100L is optionally available.

Caratec's sound systems use digital amplifiers to drive the vehicle's loudspeakers and also offer a dedicated subwoofer. On the one hand, the standard speakers 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 standard 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. Low-noise 24-bit digital-to-analog converters are used to convert the signals back into analog signals for driving the loudspeakers.
The amplifier is not affected by under- or overvoltage, it is insensitive to short circuits to ground or positive and has an overtemperature protection. The subwoofer placed under the passenger seat has a bass reflex design with a 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 even at large excursions by a long-term stable rubber surround 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 extensive listening sessions have revealed.
