Engineering notes
- The 1,170 W system is double amplified, with the amplifier in the boot. B&W and Aston Martin Magazine give 15 channels, while Aston Martin's launch release says 14.
- Tweeter-on-Top separates the tweeter from its cabinet to cut colouration and reduce reflection off the windscreen. The dashboard tweeters stand proud of the dash and fire at the occupants.
- Continuum cone midrange drivers and Nautilus aluminium double-dome tweeters come from B&W's home loudspeaker range.
- Studio and Stage modes, QuantumLogic Immersion and ambient noise compensation are included, behind stainless steel speaker grilles.
