When you're out to serve up a tasty dish of delicious sound, use the Kenwood Excelon KDC-X889 CD receiver as the key ingredient!
You'll love the way this receiver's blend of MOSFET power and 24-bit digital-to-analog converters delights your aural palate with lush and faithful playback, regardless of the source you're listening to. Adjust the advanced System Q EX with its four-band parametric equalizer to ensure that the great sound fits snugly with your vehicle's acoustics. You can also throw in a dash of digital SRS WOW™ effects to add fullness and depth, and focus the sound in just the right spot.
The KDC-X889 adds a variety of spices to the mix with its format-playback capabilities. It'll not only handle your standard and home-burned CDs, it also has the power to play the discs you've loaded with MP3s, WMAs, and even the CD tracks you've converted into AAC files.
To help you make your way through your digital files and folders, the KDC-X889 offers Kenwood's remarkable AC Drive with Voice Index on Tap. A voice guide in the system itself will actually tell you the names of each of your files. You'll be able to surf your music collection while keeping your eyes safely on the road. The included software lets you encode your files to make them compatible with the AC Drive.
The receiver is also garnished with satellite radio controls. Just add a compatible SIRIUS or XM tuner, antenna, and subscription, and you'll have access to a veritable entertainment buffet — over 120 channels of music (all commercial-free), sports, news, talk, and much more. You also have the option of adding an HD Radio tuner, which will allow you to receive, where available, FM signal that sounds CD-like, and AM that sounds like FM, plus lots of info extras.
Of course, no entrée is complete without perfect presentation, and the KDC-X889 certainly excels here. It features a bright, customizable multicolor display with full-motion animations on a motorized faceplate. Even more impressive: the included G-Analyzer feature which can show you the G-forces you're pulling during acceleration, braking, and cornering. Not a bad way to show off your performance machine!
