The arrival of multimedia in car entertainment presents a challenge for the audio playback system. The majority case will continue to be the playback of 2 channel sources such as CD and radio but the system also needs to reproduce various '5.1' formats from new sources such as DVD, usually for the rear seat. This paper discusses the alternative architecture and processor options and proposes a Logic 7 system, adapted for automotive applications, as an elegant solution, providing enhanced spatial reproduction of 2 channel material and the full surround effect from '5.1' sources.
