Attending ongoing product and installation training is one of the ways that the staff at Sound Depot and Performance in Gainesville, Florida, offers our customers excellent service. Sound Depot and Performance recently hosted an industry training session with the product experts from JL Audio of Miramar, Florida.
Knowledge is Power
Companies like JL Audio are always developing new and innovative products to offer consumers better sounding solutions. We attend JL Audio training several times a year, and it was a privilege to have them in ‘our house’ for this most recent multi-store training. Fellow JL Audio dealers came from Ocala, Gainesville and Lake City.
Fix Your Sound
Over the past few years, the JL Audio FiX integration processor and TwK signal processor have been at the top of the list for training topics. FiX is a signal processor that can combine signals from multi-channel audio systems. The processor can remove any equalization on each channel and correct the relationship between channels to overcome signal delay applied by the manufacturer. The result is an audio signal that mimics the flat frequency response of an aftermarket radio but retails all the integration features modern automakers included with the vehicle.
Get Your Tweak On!
Once we extract a usable audio signal from the factory audio system, the next step in making a new system sound great is to tune it for the choice of speakers, their locations and the acoustic characteristics of the vehicle. The TwK series of processors includes signal delay, crossover, equalization and high-resolution output level adjustment that allow us to maximize the performance of any system that uses one of these processors.
Learning techniques to configure and tune more efficiently and accurately not only improves the way the systems we design and install sound but also increases our value to each customer.
New Products
JL Audio has recently introduced a new series of speakers. JL Audio designed their new flagship C7 series of speakers for use in fully active systems that use the TwK processor. JL has not released all the details on these speakers yet, but we can assure you, from a technological standpoint, they are impressive.
Their aggressively priced C1 series will serve as a great factory replacement and upgrade speaker solution. The training highlighted the design considerations for the series as well as the materials used. Reduced tweeter protrusions, flexible mounting solutions thanks to spacers and adapters, and premium materials will make this series very popular.
Our training finished with a thorough explanation of the difference between the M and MX series of marine speaker products. With a thorough understanding of the design and manufacturing difference between the two series, we can better explain the features of each to our clients.
JL Audio Training
Having manufacturers come to Sound Depot and Performance to train our staff, and the staff members of the shops around us, dramatically improves our level of service and value to our clients. We have already invited the JL Audio training team to return next year to bring us up to speed on their newest offerings.
If your car, truck, boat, motorcycle or ATV is in need of an audio upgrade, then drop into Sound Depot and Performance. A member of our sales team would be happy to assist you in developing a solution that sounds great!
