Basically, with HX DSP, you've got presets for different sound staging, but
there's also apparently a 7 band eq in it. Damn I would love to sell my 8900
for the 8970, but I'm just questioning the validity in the expense (and I'm
also debating as to whether or not someone in Australia would want to buy my
8900 - ppl don't normally fork out AUD$1200 like I did for a deck!).
But I wouldn't mind having one still 3#-)
Adios,

Subject: MD: New Sony MD car models
Hi!
Last week, at least here in Spain, Sony released its 2000 Sony
mobile catalogue, and there are some new MD models, dunno if they're
equivalent to others vailable on different countries under other
denomination. The ones that I describe here seem to be brand new however.
I would like to hear from anybody that knows anything about these
new models; I'm about to buy a new system for a new car. I have a second
hand ol' MDX-C6790RDS on my Fiat Punto and am very happy with it.
MDX-C6500R/RX/RV ($336)
This seems to be the medium level one. Is a XPlod series
MD-Radio 4x50W, capable of CD/MD-changer control with CD-Text support.
90dB s/n ratio.
It's main atractive, besides its lower price is its availability with blue
(RV) and red (RX) lighting, to suit console lighting from cars like the
blue of a VW golf or (my case) the red of a Seat Leon (VAG group). Its
4x50W seems to be enough to drive 4 17" 160W max. two-way speakers at
4Ohm.
Have the usual 2 preouts, Front/Rear I guess and D-Bass. Segment display.
Its look is on the new 2000 models wave, without the ugly lever on the
rotary knob, a look similar to the pioneers.
MDX-C8500R (about $440)
This have the usual green/amber lighting, 90dB s/n ratio, 4x45W and its
main differences with the 6500 are dot matrix display, (the new?) HX DSP
instead of D-Bass (I'd love to hear from anybody how does this performs
actually), DAB control capability and a subout pre-output.
MDX-C800REC (about $693)
Very much like the 8500, but w/ recording capability, and 92dB s/n ratio.
Have some features like a video, for programable recording, and a mic
input.
I know this is a pretty vague posting, just wanted to know if
someone have listened to that HX DSP, or have any opinions about them to
share. If there is interest, I can write a complete article, and include
scans from the catalogue.
greets,
