DSP ("Digital Signal Processing")
GALA
are the German initials for the speed-dependent
volume adjustment function.
– Press the control button for the
Sound
function from an audio or
SETUP menu or
– Select
DSP
– Select
GALA
– Select on of the five
levels
– Select
off
. The function will be switched off.
The
GALA
function boosts the volume level accordingly as the vehicle's speed
increases to drown out background noise.
If you select
level 1
, the volume will only be boosted slightly as speed
increases. If you select
level 5
, the volume will be boosted more strongly as
speed increases.
Dynamic noise compensation*
Dynamic noise compensation automatically adjusts the music volume so that
the music is not drowned out by background noise. The volume will seem to
maintain its normal decibel strength.
The dynamic noise compensation function responds to both continuous and
transient background noise.
How does the dynamic noise compensation work?
A microphone in the interior registers the music volume and the volume of
background noise. The background noise is then digitally analysed and proc-
essed by the system. At the same time, the sound system boosts the play-
back volume accordingly in the affected frequency range so that the music
can still be heard clearly.
Note
Any malfunction of the AudioPilot system is indicated by a triple warning
gong which sounds when the navigation system is switched on. If this should
happen, please have the AudioPilot system checked by a qualified
workshop.
