ISO Mount Capable
All Clarion single-DIN source units can be mount-
ed without the use of their trim ring to compatible
ISO-mount vehicles. This means the source unit
will look as though it was installed from the factory
- while offering a stunning performance upgrade.
Key Off Eject
Sometimes we forget to take our favorite CD
back into the house after a drive - Clarion makes
retrieving your music easy with Key-Off Eject . The
disc eject function operates even when the cars
ignition is turned off.
Memory Backup
Clarion source units include a memory backup
feature. This allows a source unit to retain its
radio presets for a period of time between 8 and
24 hours depending on the model of source unit.
Should the vehicle battery need to be discon-
nected for service, this prevents you from having
to re-enter all the radio presets.
Instant Station Recall
Everyone had a favorite radio station and Clarion
source units make it easy to listen to. Just pro-
gram your favorite AM or FM station into the ISR
feature and no matter what source you are listen-
ing to, pressing the ISR button will bring up your
favorite radio station - no need to hunt through
presets or change sources.
Auto Store
When travelling, sometimes it's nice to tune into
a local radio station to catch the news, weather,
traffic or some new music you've never heard
before. Clarion source units include an Auto Store
Function. Simple activate the Auto Store and
the six strongest stations in the area are loaded
into the current radio station preset group. Just
remember not to erase all your favorites from
home.
Power and Performance
Source Units – Technologies
CEA-2006 Ratings
All new Clarion amplified products have been
rated using the CEA-2006 specification. This
specification was created to allow power produc-
tion numbers to be compared between one brand
and another without concern for measurement
type.
The CEA-2006 specification states that power
measured using this format well be constant
through the entire specified audio bandwidth
range. The power measurement will be taken with
14.4V being supplied and the distortion from the
output signal can't exceed 1%.
Just as with the power ratings, Signal to Noise (S/
N Ratio) measurements will follow similar guide-
lines. The S/N Ratio measurement will be taken
at a power level of 1W into a 4 Ohm load. This
means that all device measurements will be com-
parable, no matter how much power the product
produces.
212W MOSFET Power IC
For 2006, Clarion launches yet another new
amp IC in their head units.
The MOSFET Power IC is
smaller and more efficient
than previous amplifier
designs, virtually eliminat-
ing distortion.
MOSFET amplifiers are capable of producing
