 noise compensation 

technology continuously adjusts the music 

to compensate for background noise and 

vehicle speed.

It reacts only to sustained noise sources 

and not intermittent ones, such as speed 

bumps.

An enhanced DSP algorithm allows faster 

and more effective compensation for 

unusual situations, such as driving on a 

very rough road or at high speeds.
