    Description

    Get better sound from your portable music player in your car!
    New – No box. Never installed!
    Complete. No media player / MP3 Player / Phone included (you supply)
    Looking to get better sound from your iPod® or another player in your car without installing a bunch of new gear? JBL's MS-2 car audio optimizer plugs into your vehicle's power port, then connects between your player and your receiver's auxiliary input. That's it! You'll get better bass, smoother midrange, and sparkling highs — all without changing your receiver or speakers. The MS-2 works for all systems, even those with aftermarket subs installed.
    Once connected, simply hold down the "setup" button for a few seconds, and the MS-2 does the rest. Its high-precision digital signal processor takes over, measuring frequency response and calculating the location of your speakers. Then the MS-2 applies timing adjustments and optimizes the audio signal, effectively raising your soundstage to ear level. The sound is now tailored to your vehicle, and you can use the MS-2's bass, treble, and impact controls to fine-tune your sound as needed. The MS-2 remembers the last settings you used, so you won't have to set it up again until you switch vehicles — and the MS-2's simple installation makes it easy to take from car to car.

    Features
    Overview:
    The JBL ProCoustics MS-2 is a pocket-sized digital processor designed to enhance the listening experience of your portable compressed music through your car stereo system. Instead of connecting your iPod/iPhone or other portable player directly to your car audio system, you can connect it through the MS-2; and enjoy dramatically improved sonic clarity and stereo imaging. The MS-2 uses DSP (digital signal processing) equalization to optimize system performance for the acoustic characteristics of your speakers, electronics, and vehicle interior; and DSP time correction to ensure that all the sounds reach your ears simultaneously, creating a coherent, richly detailed soundscape. Small enough to fit in a shirt pocket and simple enough for even a novice to set up in seconds, the MS-2 will enhance the listening experience of your iPod/iPhone or other portable MP3 player through your car stereo system.
    Simple Installation:
    The MS-2 works with all music players and all car audio systems that include a 1/8" (3.5mm) auxiliary input jack. Simply plug the power adapter into your vehicle's cigarette lighter, and connect the MS-2 between the source player and your car audio system.
    One-Button Setup:
    The JBL MS-2 pocket digital processor couldn't be any easier to set up & use. Simply plug it in, hold it at eye level (approximately 6-8" from your face), and press the 'Setup' button. In about 5 minutes or less, you'll be enjoying your favorite music like never before.
    Optimal Sound:
    The JBL MS-2 uses feedback from a built-in microphone to optimize the signal from your portable player for the best possible sound from your car audio system. It automatically improves tonal balance, increases bass impact & definition, and maximizes sonic clarity & stereo imaging; all with just a push of the 'Setup' button.
    DSP Equalization:
    The MS-2 uses digital signal processing to improve tonal accuracy by automatically compensating for the sonic characteristics of your speakers, electronics, and vehicle interior.
    DSP Time Correction:
    Time correction automatically ensures that the sounds from all speakers arrive at your ears simultaneously, dramatically improving clarity and imaging. For music to be accurately reproduces and seem as though it comes from musicians spread across the dashboard, instead of from only the speaker nearest you, the sound from the left and right speakers must arrive at your ears at exactly the same time. To achieve this, the MS-2 includes digital time correction.
    Tone Controls:
    Individual Bass, Treble, & Impact controls let you fine-tune the sound to suit particular tracks and your personal preferences.
    Bass:
    This function boosts the Bass (such as low-frequency sounds from bass guitar and bass drum). Two levels of bass boost are available.
    Treble:
    This function increases or decreases the level of the Treble (such as high frequency sounds from cymbals or female vocals).
    Impact:
    This function adds Midbass punch to the sound (such as the fullness of drums or the upper frequencies of a bass guitar). The impact setting may also effect the sound of male vocals.
    Bass Filter:
    The MS-2 has a special Bass filter that is designed to protect small speakers from damage that may be caused by reproducing too much bass.
    Note:
    If your car audio system features speakers large enough to reproduce bass, you can get fuller bass response by disengaging the special Bass filter.
    Defeat Switch:
    A defeat switch lets you compare system performance with & without the JBL MS-2.
    USB Charging Port:
    The included vehicle cigarette lighter not only powers the JBL MS-2, but also includes a female USB (type-A) charging port to charge the battery of your connected portable digital audio player. USB charging cable not supplied.
