LAS VEGAS (Business Wire) Pioneer Electronics Inc. launched 2 mono Class-D car amplifiers to join its family of GM-series car audio amplifiers. Two New Amplifiers Incorporate Digital Technology Making Them More Efficient. These new car amplifiers are designed to combine high power output and high efficiency while simultaneously producing the high-fidelity audio Pioneer is known for. The Pioneer GM-D7400M and Pioneer GM-D8400M digital mono amplifiers, intended for powering large subwoofers, use digital technology that make them 80-95 percent more efficient than conventional class A/B amplifiers. Due to the increased efficiency, the physical size of the new amplifiers was also reduced by 45%, making them more compact and easier to install.

“Adding an amplifier to an in-car entertainment system can dramatically change the overall listening experience, breathing new life into the car audio system regardless of whether it is installed in an older car or one fresh off the dealer’s lot. A better sounding car stereo system equates to a better driving experience,”

said Larry Rougas, vice president of marketing and product planning for the mobile business group of Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc.

“With these GM series digital amplifiers along with our shallow subwoofers, consumers no longer need to sacrifice space to add more bass.”

The Pioneer GM-D7400M and Pioneer GM-D8400M also feature block-style terminals that allow power and speaker cables to be securely connected to the amplifier without the use of crimped-on spade terminals. In the 2- and 4-channel versions, the amplifiers accept speaker-level inputs for easy integration to factory OEM audio systems.

For many car audio enthusiasts, looks are as important as sound quality, and Pioneer’s GM series of amplifiers offer a smooth, refined look. Each has a black heat sink complemented by a brushed aluminum center and blue LED power indicator.

Motorola ROKR T505 Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone and Digital FM Transmitter Announced.

Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) is dialing up the experience of hands-free driving with the introduction of the MOTOROKR T505 Bluetooth® In-Car Speakerphone and Digital FM Transmitter, its first road-ready, music-oriented ROKR accessory and the latest addition to its portfolio of in-car solutions. The MOTOROKR T505 enables consumers to connect a compatible Bluetooth enabled phone№ to the car sound system and enjoy hands-free calling and their own personal music collection in outstanding stereo sound.

Motorola will unveil its newest Bluetooth automotive accessory here at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show, the premiere automotive specialty products trade event.

The T505 is extremely portable and requires no wires or installation. Drivers simply clip the device to a car’s visor and pair the T505 using Motorola’s EasyPair™ technology to a compatible Bluetooth device. When the T505 is connected to a stereo Bluetooth phone, such as a MOTORAZR² or MOTOROKR Z6, or an MP3 player, calls and music are streamed wirelessly with the perfectly-tuned clarity and wide-ranging volume of a car stereo. Drivers with standard Bluetooth phones can use the T505 to make and take their calls over the car stereo. And when the ride’s over, the T505 can be easily unhooked and taken to another car for the next trip.

“Today’s drivers demand convenience and connectivity without missing a beat to what’s important to them - their calls and their music,” said Jason Few, corporate vice president, Motorola, Inc. “We’re excited to introduce a portable, music-optimized ROKR to the car to enhance the mobile experience while consumers are on the road.”

The T505 also features StationFinder™, a breakthrough technology that announces where the best FM connection can be found on the user’s car radio. When calls come in, the T505 automatically mutes the music and audibly announces the Caller-ID², so drivers can keep their eyes on the road. Cutting-edge echo and noise reduction technology and a built-in microphone and 2-watt speaker also ensure that drivers have outstanding sound and zero static throughout their ride.
