of digital signal processing. This calibration  
takes into account loudspeakers, amplifiers,  
passenger compartment acoustics, listener  
position, etc., for each combination of car  
model and audio system. There is also a  
dynamic calibration that takes into account  
the setting of the volume control and vehicle  
speed.
