Bluetooth®5 devices and even USB drives.6 Sony pulls in just about

anything over the air: AM, FM, RDS information, HD Radio™4 and

Sirius™/XM™ satellite3 radio. Sony amplifiers and subs will melt

the tires off anything less. And Sony has it all, including audio/

video and weather-resistant marine solutions. So don't settle for

whatever the factory gives you. Step up to Sony.

Sony started with sound.For the moment, forget about BRAVIA® televisions, Handycam®

cameras and PlayStation® consoles. Before any of that, Sony

was an audio company. Even the name Sony comes from sonus,

Latin for sound. We've been breaking sound barriers for almost

60 years. And we've been advancing audio technology all the

way from the recording studio to your ears.

Milestones in Mobile Audio. Sony has an amazing track record in Mobile Audio. You can

see — and hear — this heritage today in every Sony® component.

1979 - World’s first mobile PWM amp. The PWM switching power

supply was far more efficient than conventional amps, as Sony

demonstrated with the XM-1.

1981 - World’s first mobile frequency synthesis tuner. Before

Sony, tuning a car radio meant turning a knob connected to a

sloppy, imprecise variable capacitor. The Sony XT-1 changed

all that.

1982 - World’s first mobile diversity reception tuner. Two FM

antennas can do what one cannot — minimize multipath

distortion. Sony proved it with the XR-100.

1984 - World’s first mobile full-logic cassette deck. Before Sony,

the Stop, Play, Fast Forward and Rewind buttons operated clunky

levers and rods. Sony replaced them with electronically operated

touch-buttons in the XR-740 and XR-780.

1984 - World’s first mobile CD player. It only stands to reason

that the company that co-invented the Compact Disc was first to

bring the wonders of digital audio into the car, with the CDX-5 CD

player and CDX-R7 CD/tuner.

1986 - World’s first CD changer. CD changers actually

happened in Mobile before they made it into homes.

1986 - World’s first Mobile A/V system. This included the XTV-5

and XTV-8 monitors, the EVX-S8 8mm video deck and the

XVM-9 TV tuner with diversity reception.

1991 - World’s first Mobile digital preamplifier. Part of the

legendary Mobile ES system, the XES-P1 included digital volume,

balance, fader, parametric equalization and sound fields.

Sources & Connectivity

Sony BusWay back when Sony created the trunk-mounted 10-disc CD

changer, we needed some way to connect and control the

changer from an in-dash receiver. This led to the Sony Bus,

a flexible architecture for expanding your Sony Mobile Audio

system in ways that could scarcely be imagined way back when!

Consider the system expansion possibilities:

> XT-100HD HD Radio®4 tuner

> XA-120IP iPod®2 interface

> RM-X60M//R Remote Commander® Marine controller

> Third-party satellite radio tuners3 (require service subscription)

> XA-C40 Sony Bus switcher

> XA-300 auxiliary input adaptor

The system starts with an in-dash receiver equipped with a

Sony bus terminal, which handles control signals. Most Sony

bus products include a pass-through connection, so you can

daisy-chain additional Sony Bus components. Audio

connections are made on line-level RCA cables.

USB DirectYou don't need to spring for a digital music player to enjoy

the benefit of MP3s. Simply save your music on an affordable

USB "thumb" drive, like Sony's own MicroVault® drives (sold

separately). With the USB Direct feature, simply plug in the drive

and play! USB Direct also works with selected USB-equipped

digital music players.6

Digital Music Plus AdvancedAs good as they are, today's digital music players use

compressed codecs that can't match the sound quality of a

studio master recording. That's why Sony developed Digital Music

Plus (DM+) and DM+ Advanced. The system offers three levels of

digital enhancement for the clearest possible sound. Settings

for Low, Mid and High compression optimize bass, treble, phase

and harmonics.

Preamp OutputsSony receivers deliver high power — 52 watts x4 — but we

don’t stop there. Preamp outputs let you expand your system

with external amplifiers to really power up your ride. You can

use the receiver's built-in amplifier for the front speakers and

go with external amps for subwoofers and rears. Or go full-on

custom with a complete set of outboard amps.

24

Receiver Technology

Built-in HPF/LPF CrossoverFull-range speakers may be okay for "factory radio" systems,

but they have major limitations. For one, full-range speakers

can't produce really low bass the way subwoofers can. And as

the amplifier tries to push bass through full-range speakers, the

treble distorts. That’s why advanced audio systems use multiple,

specialized speakers, including subwoofers, mids and tweeters.

And that’s why Sony® receivers have built-in active crossovers.

The high-pass filter (HPF) strips out the bass and connects to an

amp just for mids and treble. The low pass filter (LPF) sends just

the low bass to a subwoofer amp.

EQ Tone ControlsSony’s EQ is way beyond traditional bass and treble controls

> A full 10 dB boost and cut range.

> Six preset EQ curves and a customizable seventh curve enable

you to adjust the equalization to your liking.

> Parametric EQ (on select models) even enables you to adjust

the center frequencies for super precise tonal optimization.

Dynamic Soundstage Organizer (DSO)While the car is an ideal place to crank up tunes, a car's speaker

locations don't make for ideal stereo imaging. Door-mounted

speakers tend to be too low and too close to your ears. Sony

comes to the rescue with Dynamic Soundstage Organizer (DSO).

This digital process elevates and widens the stereo soundstage

for a bigger, better listening experience. Three levels enable you

to optimize the effect for your specific car.

Radio Data System (RDS)MP3 players have artist and album title displays. So does

Sirius™ / XM™ satellite radio. Now FM stations can have it too.

The Radio Data System (RDS) enables artist and title information

to accompany the FM broadcast. Selected Sony receivers

automatically display the information.

Tuner TechnologySony receivers are known for exceptional tuning. And we’ve

made them even better. Our latest generation of receivers

boasts better signal-to-noise ratios, lower interference, better

multipath rejection and better stereo separation. It all adds

up to immaculate reception.

AmplifiersWhen it comes to giving you a good kick in the pants, there's no

substitute for Sony® Xplod™ amplifiers. Flexible output configurations

fit your needs from one channel of power to many. With audiophile

Class D output stages and Dynamic Distortion Suppressor, your

music isn't just loud, it's also clear. And sophisticated input level,

crossover and low boost adjustments enable you to optimize the

sound for your choice of speakers.

Channel flexibility. Ask any audiophile or mobile audio expert. You'll hear that "bridging"

a pair of amplifier channels results in a single channel of roughly

twice the power. Many of today's best systems take advantage of this

high power technology. That's why all Sony® multi-channel amps can

be bridged for maximum flexibility.

Amplifier Technology

Sony 4/3/2-channel ampsSony takes channel bridging one step further with 4-channel

amps that enable both pairs to be bridged. The result is a

2-channel amp of extraordinary power.

Sony Class D Mono ampsThese subwoofer specialists are the only Sony Mobile amps

that can't be bridged, because they only have 1-channel.

Sony 4/3-channel ampsAll our 4-channel amps can drive four full-range speakers. Or you

can bridge to drive two full-range speakers and a subwoofer.

Sony 2/1-channel ampsOur 2-channel amps can drive a stereo pair of speakers or be

bridged to deliver a single channel of roughly twice the power.

It's a good choice for driving a subwoofer.

Internal crossoverTo get the full benefit of your speakers, you’ll need to send them

the appropriate musical frequencies. That’s why Sony® Xplod™­

amplifiers offer internal crossovers. A crossover consists of two

filters: the High Pass Filter (HPF) sends everything but the deepest

bass to full-range speakers while the Low Pass Filter (LPF) sends

only the deep bass to the subwoofers. Filter adjustments enable

you to set the frequency at which the music "crosses over"

from full-range speakers to subwoofer. A separate bass boost

adjustment enables you to optimize the bass for your specific

choice of subwoofer.

High level inputs The best way to connect an amplifier is called "line level" or

"preamp output." This uses audio cables with the familiar white

and red RCA jacks. But what if you're using a factory radio that

doesn't have preamp outputs? Sony amplifiers come to the

rescue with high-level inputs. Simply connect the speaker outputs

of your receiver to the high-level inputs of the amplifier. Auto

sensing will even switch the amplifier on automatically whenever

the head unit is on.

42

To sub or not to sub One of the glories of custom mobile audio is a big amplifier

driving a subwoofer. Freed from the responsibility of reproducing

midrange and treble sound — the "sub" generates nothing but

deep bass. The results can be spectacular, pumping out lows

with a volume and realism that rivals the live concert experience.

As in home theater systems, a single subwoofer can perform

well because deep bass is not "directional." The human auditory

system can't tell where the bass is coming from.

Dynamic Distortion Suppressor When conventional amps are driven too hard, they "clip" off

the signal peaks, sending masses of distortion to the speakers.

The Dynamic Distortion Suppressor of Sony's XM-ZZR3301

reduces peaks without clipping them harshly. So distortion

is substantially reduced.

Class D Amplification"Powerful" doesn't have to mean "big," "heavy" or "hot."

Conventional Class AB amplifiers only manage to convert

50 to 60% of incoming power into output to the speakers.

The rest gets dissipated as heat. At 90%, Sony's Class D

amplification is far more efficient than traditional Class AB

amplifiers. As a result, the XM-1S and XM-ZZR3301 deliver

incredible power without filling up — or heating up — your

trunk. These Class D amps are designed or subwoofer use only.

Active Thermal ControlWhen the going gets hot, conventional thermal control simply

shuts your amp down until it's cool. Sony's XM-ZZR3301 has a

better way. Active Thermal Control automatically lowers the

output until it's safe to return to normal operation.

SpeakersThe tweeters create a soundstage that appears to float in midair.

Mica Reinforced Cellular Glass Fiber Cone Select Sony® Xplod™ subwoofer cones are

constructed using a woven glass fiber

reinforced with a mica cellular composite

to provide a super rigid cone for better

response.

Passive CrossoversSony speakers use passive crossovers

to separate the frequency bands for

woofers, midrange, and tweeters. These

carefully-designed crossover networks

lower distortion by providing each driver

with only the correct frequencies.

Subwoofer ConfigurationsSony single and dual-voice coil subwoofers enable you to configure systems of awesome

power. For example, "bridging" a stereo amplifier to drive a single subwoofer results in

nearly twice the power. In addition, wiring a pair of 4-ohm subwoofers in parallel results

in a 2-ohm load, into which Sony® Class-D amplifiers will also deliver roughly twice the

power. With Sony amps and subwoofers, the power is yours.

Laser-Etched LogoThe Xplod logo on the subwoofer cone is

carefully and precisely etched with a laser

beam using a burn-in process.

Wiring a dual voice coil subwoofer in

parallel results in a 2-ohm load, a good

choice for increased power with Sony

Class D amplifiers.

Wiring in series results in an 8-ohm load,

a good choice when you're wiring

multiple pairs of drivers to an amplifier.

Not just splash proof: Meets IPx5 requirementsNot all marine audio systems are as tough as this. Imagine

pointing hoses at an audio component. Now imagine turning the

water on and letting loose a gusher of gallons per minute — for

three full minutes. That's the requirement of IPx5, the international

standard met by Sony Marine head units, controllers and

speakers.8

Rigorously tested to resist salt sprayIf you live on the coasts, splashing is not the only threat to your

equipment. Salt spray is amazingly corrosive. That's why the

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) created the

B117 torture test for salt spray. Sony Marine head units, controllers

and speakers pass the test, for superb durability.

Anti-corrosion coated circuit boardsYou can't see inside Sony Marine products. But when you're out

on the water, humidity can get inside, causing rust that can

undermine reliability. That's why Sony uses conformal coated

circuit boards. All Sony Marine products, including amplifiers

are safeguarded by HAYA high humidity resistant vinyl resin. It's

the same compound that protects the circuit boards of outdoor

traffic safety equipment.

Also tested to withstand sunlightJust as you can get sunburned, the finishes on your equipment

can fade, crack and peel after prolonged exposure to sunlight.

And just as with sunburn, ultraviolet (UV) light is the biggest

culprit. The finishes on Sony Marine head units, controllers and

speakers are specifically designed to withstand another ASTM

test: G154 for UV resistance.

Qualifying your customerFew techniques on the sales floor are quite so powerful as

qualifying your customer. After you've said hello and introduced

yourself, ask for the customer's name. Then use their name and

ask the right questions about the customer's needs. By asking

questions, you'll be accomplishing many things at once:

Product Applications

1. You'll be demonstrating that you're sincerely interested in

the customer's needs. This will inspire the customer to trust

you more. And it's not even an act. You really are interested,

because...

2. You'll be gathering all the information you need to make

a smart recommendation, and...

3. You'll have exactly what you need to close the sale. When you

describe the system, be sure to repeat what the customer told

you, as in, "You told me you really like listening to music on your

iPhone® unit. So I'm recommending Sony's USB 1-wire solution..."

We suggest that you ask two or three specific questions,

as follows:
