bass through ultrahigh frequencies. You can also select and save up to
three equalizer setups according to the music genre and your liking.
This is Kenwood-original technology that estimates and interpolates
the high frequencies that are lost by MP3 or WMA compression to
reproduce realistic audio that's infinitely close to the original sound.
