Highlights

MCM2000/12

Bass Reflex Speaker System

Bass Reflex Speaker System delivers a deep
bass experience from a compact loudspeaker
box system. It differs from a conventional
loudspeaker box system in the addition of a
bass pipe that is acoustically aligned to the
woofer to optimise the low frequency roll-off
of the system. The result is deeper controlled
bass and lower distortion. The system works
by causing the air mass in the bass pipe to
vibrate like a conventional woofer. Combined
with the response of the woofer, the system
extends the overall low frequency sounds to
create a completely new dimension of deep
bass.

Digital Sound Control

music style. Ultimately, Digital Sound Control
makes it easy for you get the most out of your
music by precisely adjusting the sound balance
to match the type of music you are playing.

Dynamic Bass Boost

Dynamic Bass Boost maximises your music
enjoyment by emphasising the bass content of
the music throughout the range of volume
settings - from low to high – at the touch of a
button! Bottom-end bass frequencies usually
get lost when the volume is set at a low level.
To counteract this, Dynamic Bass Boost can be
switched on to boost bass levels, so you can
enjoy consistent sound even when you turn
down the volume.

USB Direct

MP3 Link

The MP3 link connectivity allows direct
playback of MP3 content from portable media
players. Besides the benefit of enjoying your
favourite music in the superior sound quality
delivered by the audio system, the MP3 link is
also extremely convenient as all you have to do
is to plug your portable MP3 player into the
audio system.

Radio Data System (RDS)

The Radio Data System (RDS) lets you tune
i

nto radio stations without having to
remember the frequencies. In standard mode.
RDS displays the station name instead of the
transmission frequency, facilitating quick and
easy tuning. RDS also allows stations to send
text messages such as news and station
information directly to the radio display.
Commonly used in Europe, RDS text is sent
out on the same frequency the radio station
broadcasts on. You can choose either the basic
RDS display (station name) or subscribe to
additional text-based services.

Digital Sound Control offers you a choice of
pre-set Jazz, Rock, Pop and Classical controls
you can use to optimise the frequency ranges
for different musical styles. Each mode uses
graphic equalizing technology to automatically
adjust the sound balance and enhance the most
important sound frequencies in your chosen

With the USB Direct mode, you can simply
select the music on a USB device and play back
all your content. All you have to do is plug in
your USB device to play back music or export
content from the device.
