THE VOLVO FLAGSHIP SEDAN

Volvo S80

CAREFULLY DEVISED BESPOKE SYSTEM

For the driver of a Volvo S80, a stylish, sophisticated and safe interior is important and perfect sound reproduction plays a vital role. In order to create the ultimate sound experience, Volvo wanted to partner with the best and chose Harman Kardon as its sound partner. Together with Volvo, Harman Kardon sound engineers set out to create the most life-like sound experience for the Volvo S80. Volvo relies on Harman Kardon to deliver the sound experience that fits into this world. In the Volvo S80, a powerful 650-watt, 5-channel Class-D amplifier powers twelve carefully placed speakers.

YOUR VOLVO – YOUR CHOICE – YOUR SOUND

The 25mm cloth-dome tweeters are perfectly tuned to work with midrangers and woofers,while ALumaprene mid-range speakers and midwoofers provide optimum damping characteristics. Using the same mid-range speaker in the doors and in the centre creates excellent tonal response and high staging, where as the long-throw woofers with high excursion ensure rich bass performance even without a subwoofer. With its crystal-clear highs, powerful basses and low distortion mid-ranges, the Harman Kardon sound system for the Volvo S80 provides an unmistakable listening experience for passengers in all seating positions.

Volvo S80

The Volvo S80 luxury sedan is Volvo’s flagship. It is the embodiment of sophisticated elegance and driving pleasure, the pinnacle of Scandinavian design and class-leading safety technology. Volvo S80 buyers are making a statement without saying a word.

    The high-performance Class-D amplifiers feature special power packs that fulfil every possible desire for fun and detail-rich sound with an amazingly high sound pressure level (SPL). The module, weighing only 1.3 kilograms, delivers deep bass sounds powerfully and precisely to the speakers. Thanks to the Class-D technology, the amplifier is more efficient than an analogue amplifier and, as a result, only a small amount of heat is generated and additional cooling is not required. In turn, this gives compact dimensions of only 19.2 × 11.6 × 5.2 centimetres and allows space-saving installation under the driver's seat or at the rear. The compact and light Class-D amplifier works extremely economically and efficiently.
