[Mazda CX-5 New] Reasons to choose "Bose Sound System" when purchasing a new car

The Mazda "CX-5" was the first model change. I think that many people were impressed by the new generation SUV design, but the AV system including the navigation system adopts the dedicated system "Mazda Connect", which is rare in domestic cars. Among them, the "Bose Sound System" is the focus of attention.

"Bose sound system" is indispensable when considering the vehicle class

In addition to the beauty of the design, the CX-5 is undoubtedly positioned as one of the top-class domestic SUVs due to its imposing proportions. On the other hand, it is surprisingly cheap in terms of audio, and even the top "L package" normally has only four speakers combined with the front, rear, left and right doors. The sound in this state is just disproportionate to the vehicle class. That's where the existence of the Bose sound system gets a lot of attention.

The biggest feature of Bose's in-vehicle sound system is that it collaborates with vehicle manufacturers from the early stages of vehicle development and is dedicated to vehicle models. Therefore, equalizing can be preset according to the characteristics of the car, and the sound field can be optimized at a much lower cost than installing and adjusting each time after installation. That's why it can be realized by adding a little less than 120,000 yen (tax included) as a set with a CD / DVD player, and in that sense it can be said that it is systematized more profitably than imagined.

The system is a new-generation audio system that combines all 10 speakers with a digital amplifier developed by Bose at the core. In particular, the key point of the CX-5 is the installation of the virtual surround function "Centerpoint" that reproduces 5.1ch equivalent audio from stereo audio. There is a limit to the expansion of the sound field in the limited interior space, but this effect makes it possible to enjoy the expansive reproduced sound.

The first thing I felt when playing it was the well-localized mid-high range and rich bass reproduction. As you increase the volume, it gradually becomes stronger, yet it resonates naturally without straining your ears. The sense of balance is very comfortable. A 25mm tweeter with a silk dome is set on the A-pillar, but the effect may be great. Here, when the center point is applied, the reproduction in a fluffy space is reproduced, although the sound image becomes a little vague. Especially with live-recorded sources, the effect is clear.

Rear seat that reproduces a wonderful sound field with a live feeling in particular

The experience with the rear seats was especially wonderful. If you sit on the rear seat, the feeling of spaciousness will increase further. Moreover, the atmosphere in which the stage spreads forward is reproduced properly. From the point of view of live performance, the rear may be better than the front. It seems that this is because the balance between the 80mm caliber twidler on the dashboard and the 60mm caliber twidra prepared for the C-pillar is set extremely well. It can be said that this sound is the characteristic of this system.

In addition, this Bose sound system is also equipped with "AUDIO PILOT" that adjusts to the optimum sound quality while picking up running noise with the built-in microphone. It is undeniable that the engine sound of the CX-5 is noisy because it is also a model in which diesel vehicles are the mainstay. In that sense, you can enjoy the sound that is almost unchanged even if the vehicle speed range rises and the running noise increases, and in that sense, this function is a point that cannot be overlooked.

The new CX-5, which has greatly improved the grade feeling with the first model change. If you want to experience the sound that matches your vehicle class, you should definitely choose the Bose sound system when ordering a new car. Because of the system that cannot be retrofitted, many people should be able to realize the benefits beyond the cost of just under 120,000 yen.
