MAZDA HARMONIC ACOUSTICS

Assured control of sound in the cabin – whether noise or music – is another key element of driving pleasure, achieved amazingly well by Mazda Harmonic Acoustics. This far-reaching audio initiative was developed to create a quiet cabin that insulates you from unwanted and distracting outside noise, while still allowing for the subtler sounds from the road and engine that add to the driving experience. It also evident in the design of the audio system that now delivers the same rich sound at both low and high volumes. Particular attention was paid to speaker placement to give deep, satisfying bass and clear, well-localized mid-range and high frequencies. The result is detailed, natural reproduction of music with astonishing depth and clarity at any volume.
