In the most typical case, the audio system in the car consists of a radio and a pair of speakers. This system is able to satisfy the requests of only those people for whom the music in the car serves only as a background.

For more sophisticated music lovers, you need a more advanced system consisting of a good radio, amplifier and at least five speakers. But buying all these devices – another floor. To ensure good sound, you need to connect everything correctly, install, and configure. By the way, ladies, you can congratulate your husband on the New Year, giving him exactly the car radio. Let us return to the main element of any audio system of the car-the radio, and consider determining its quality of characteristics.

Output power. Many people believe that the greater the value of this parameter, the more the properties of the acoustic system can be revealed with a greater degree. This is partly the case, but often manufacturers indicate not quite real numbers of this parameter, which is why the output power turns into a real item for competition.

Therefore, it also happens that a radio with an amplifier of 4 by 45 W can “swing” the acoustic system much better than a radio with an amplifier of power, for example, 4 by 55 watts. The real connoisseurs of sound enhance the subject of their elevation using external amplifiers.

Frequency response. The uneven amplitude-frequency characteristic directly proportionally affects the sound quality: the more even this characteristic, the better the sound of the radio and vice versa and vice versa.

Sensitivity of the tuner radio. The normal value of this parameter is the sensitivity of 1 μV or less. This parameter will be especially important for those who are often outside the city in their car.

Signal/noise. The value of this parameter can be estimated by the phrase “the more, the better”. To ensure high -quality sound, the ratio of the signal to the noise should be at least 90 dB.

The number of channels. The possible number of speakers connected to the radio tape recorder will depend on the number of channels. The best option will be the purchase of a five -year car radio, to which it will be possible to pick up 4 speakers and subwoofer.

Sound improvement systems. The most useful of them will be an equalizer, tone registers and tone tones regulators.
