The tuning process is really about adapting the system to the room that it is playing in, and the Audi cabriolet is like having two possible rooms. Therefore, Bang & Olufsen has devised two versions of each of the three tunings that enable the customer to preset or change the sound image, optimizing it to the number of people in the car and their position. In addition to the three occupancy settings (driver, front seats or all seats), the Sound System developed especially for the Audi A5/S5 Cabriolet consequently also has settings for Roof Closed and Roof Open. The system detects when the roof opens or closes and adapts automatically, and Bang & Olufsen has optimized the response of the system in both cases to provide crystal clear sound even under the open sky. Further highlights of the system include a powerful output of no less than 505 Watt delivered by 10 amplifiers to 12 custom-made loudspeakers, and supported by proprietary True Image surround sound technology.

The Bang & Olufsen True Image Digital Signal Processing also renders the discrete 5.1 signals on your favorite DVD perfectly, providing passengers the opportunity to fully enjoy their favorite DVDs on the supreme high definition monitor of Audi’s new top-of-the-range infotainment system, MMI navigation plus, while on the move. Seamlessly integrated into the elegantly flowing lines and functional ergonomics of the car’s interior, the top-quality craftsmanship of the Bang & Olufsen Sound System is perfectly matched by the teardrop-shaped settings of the instruments, which have already become modern classics.
