New Clarion CZ500E Has Star-Appeal: Flagship Model All-New Look For 2010

Highlighting the 2010 range of in-car audio, Clarion’s CZ500E features the all-new ‘star-burst’ style illumination design amidst an array of flawless finishes and highly sought-after specification, providing the ideal showcase for what Clarion has to offer.
The CZ500E incorporates CD/CD-R/CD-RW and MP3/WMA/AAC playback, whilst providing direct iPod control (no additional leads needed) via a USB slot on the rear of the head unit, and built-in Bluetooth hands free control and audio streaming (A2DP & AVRCP) – including direct phone list access via the head unit controls – is added as standard.

Clarion has consistently pushed the boundaries of in-car audio reproduction, and the CZ500E boasts digital Z-Enhancer sound customisation presets to boost the bass and treble, Magna Bass EX to provide extra low-frequency impact (boosting bass by 10dB at 60 Hz), for a well-balanced sound reproduction, and BBE MP (Minimised Polynomial Non-Linear Saturation) to restore the subtleties of sound lost in the compression of MP3 and WMA audio files.
With an ever-increasing army of audio aficionados seeking greater levels of customisation, the CZ500E also proves itself an ideal entry point for any ‘serious’ system build thanks to the addition of 6 channel RCA line-out – previously a feature reserved for expensive, flagship models – that allow greater flexibility with amp additions and speaker set-ups.
The CZ500E features a large rotary volume control, whilst a white LCD display (13 segment 10 x 2 Line), piano black fascia, metallic feature trim, and the new ‘star-burst’ style blue button illumination create a stunning showpiece for any dashboard.
Despite its good looks and feature-rich spec, the CZ500E has a typical selling price of just £199.00 via appointed dealers across the UK.  For more details call Clarion (GB) Ltd., on 01793 870400, or visit www.clarion.co.uk”>.
