The Kenwood Excelon KDC-X590 CD player brings outstanding audio performance and near-endless playback variety to your car. It'll play just about anything you throw at it even discs loaded with MP3, WMA, and AAC files and its powerful built-in amplifer and premium digital-to-analog converter will deliver crystal-clear sound for all your tunes.
Kenwood's ACDrive makes it easy to navigate through your digital music collection. Voice prompts guide you through folders by announcing the names of your files as you scroll, simplifying the process of finding your favorite songs and letting you keep your eyes on the road. The included software adapts your files to the ACDrive system. And you can use the stereo's USB input to connect your portable music player.
Six preset tone curves give you quick overall sound changes, while a 3-band parametric equalizer offers ultra-fine adjustment of the bass, midrange, and treble. You can manage your bass settings with the built-in subwoofer controls, and you can adjust the frequencies going to your various speakers with the high- and low-pass filters. The result optimum performance from your system.
If you have a larger system in mind, three sets of preamp outputs make it easier to connect your external amps and subs. Add a Kenwood CD changer to the mix using the on-board changer controls, or go for satellite radio with an optional tuner.
