【AD-16A｜Fine-tune in-car sound with a 16ch high-end DSP amplifier】

When enjoying music in your car, do you ever feel that the soundstage lacks definition, that vocals seem far away, or that listenability changes from one track to another?

AD-16A is a 16ch high-end digital processor with a newly designed HD PLAYER built in. It’s for those who want to precisely adjust the sound balance to match your in-car speakers and factory audio system.

Player functions for enjoying high-resolution audio in your car

It supports PCM stereo audio sources up to 192kHz/24bit, allowing playback of a wide range of file formats such as WAV, AIF, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC, and MP3.

Using the included controller, you can operate folder and track selection, playback, stop, track skip, and more. Since you can search for songs by folder name, artist name, album name, and title, it’s organized to be easy to operate even if you have a large library of saved audio.

You want to listen to your usual music more carefully in the car. You don’t just want to enjoy compressed audio from a smartphone, but also high-resolution audio. For those people, this device expands your options for music playback.

Supported for precise sound adjustments with two 32bit processors

Inside, it houses two high-performance 32bit audio signal processors, each operating at a 456MHz clock.

By leveraging its 16ch processing capability, it’s designed to make it easier to shape the sound to match your vehicle’s system configuration—front, rear, center, subwoofer, and more. While organizing the role of each speaker, it lets you adjust everything to fit the cabin, including vocal placement, soundstage width/spread, and how smoothly the low frequencies connect.

With 96kHz/24bit music data, you can perform digital processing without compression and convert it to analog signals. This DSP amplifier brings out the information contained in the source and finishes it into sound that’s easy to listen to in your car.

Even with the same equipment, the final result changes with installation and tuning

A DSP amplifier isn’t a product where the sound is “finished” just by installing the unit.

The final impression will vary depending on how you connect it to the factory audio, the speaker configuration, how you handle power and wiring, the installation space, and the tuning to match the vehicle. Especially when using all 16 channels, it’s important to decide the configuration not only based on the current system, but also with the possibility of adding speakers and subwoofers in the future in mind.

At LOGON, after confirming your vehicle model and factory system, the music you usually listen to, and your preferences regarding sound, we think together about how to best incorporate the AD-16A.

If you’re someone who says, “I want to keep the convenience of the factory setup,” “I want to enjoy high-resolution audio in the car,” “Speaker replacement alone isn’t enough,” or “I also want to plan for future system upgrades,” let’s organize the direction while looking at your actual vehicle.
