What is the audio system in the Audi S4?
2 Answers
Audi officially labels the audio system in the Audi S4 as the Audi Sound System. Audi Sound System Configuration: It generally uses Bang & Olufsen and BOSE audio systems. The mid-to-low trim models are equipped with BOSE audio systems, while the higher-end models feature Bang & Olufsen audio systems. Main Components of a Car Audio System: Head unit, amplifier, and speakers. To evaluate the quality of an audio system, pay attention to the performance of these three components, with the most direct method being to examine their technical specifications. Output Power: The head unit's power should ideally be between 40W and 60W. Frequency Response: The human ear can hear frequencies ranging from 20Hz to 20KHz. Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): This refers to the ratio of the music signal to noise. High-end car audio systems typically have an SNR of 90dB or higher, and the higher this value, the better. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): This metric reflects the fidelity of sound reproduction. A lower value indicates higher fidelity and better audio performance.
I remember when driving the Audi S4, the sound system was Bang & Olufsen, and the sound quality was exceptional. Listening to music on long drives was completely immersive, with deep bass and crisp highs, no buzzing at all. There were about a dozen speakers installed in the car, and the layout was very reasonable, even the rear seats could feel the surround sound. Whether I played pop or classical music, it felt like being at a live concert. Plus, the soundproofing was great, and the low wind noise further enhanced the effect. However, it’s worth noting that it comes as standard when buying a new car, but if you opt for the premium package, the sound quality goes to another level. Whether commuting or going on a road trip, this sound system makes the journey much less tedious. For music lovers, it’s definitely a big plus. After using it for six months, I haven’t had any issues—durability is also good.
