Mercedes-Benz AMG in cooperation with hi-fi specialist Bang & Olufsen have developed a custom-designed sound system for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.

The BeoSound AMG high-end sound system has a total output of 1,000 watts, eleven loudspeakers and customizable sound distribution.

The music signals can be distributed to the driver’s seating position, the passenger’s seating position or to a central point, as selected.

With the help of the digital sound processor (DSP) it is also possible to choose between the “Reference” high-end studio sound or voluminous surround sound.

The system is operated using a specially-created Bang & Olufsen menu in the COMAND APS control and display system.

It features illuminated, lens-shaped 50-watt tweeters in the instrument panel and the two subwoofers built into the parcel shelf, while the “Silver Shadow” metallic loudspeaker covers wears the Bang & Olufsen logo signal.

Upon powering on, its color display monitor in the dashboard illuminates the AMG logo for a couple of seconds and depending on the setting, it will show a high-resolution map, music information or a keypad for telephone.

It also boasts of a DVD player on board with an optional 6 disc DVD changer. Below the DVD, it has a memory card slot for its music files.

Mp3 players like iPod can also be connected to the player through its Media interface.

Mercedes-Benz has fused Comand Aps with the Linguatronic system that is voice controlled together with a Bluetooth function.

According to the Press Release, this high end music system for the SLS AMG Gullwing will be on the market for 7,021 euros (including 19% VAT).
