Award Test Review CarAudio Magazine:

CDT HD-62 wins the gold! Among the top group of three closely ranked finalists in this test, the CDT HD-62 wins the gold because, when mounted in the doors, it simply sounded the best. It combined the superb octave-to-octave balance of the Altecs with the magnificent transparency and resolution of the Boston's and the Polk's. When describing the sound of the HD-62 set, everything I say is actually about the beauty of the recordings -- a golden tenorvoice singing Handel, the seductively intimate sound of Jennifer

 Warnes and her (clearly audible) backup singers, the rich tone of a saxophone, the very different textures of a bass fiddle alternately bowed and plucked, the variety of instrumental tones in a symphony orchestra or a well-played synthesizer, the crisp impact of percussion, and the startling power of a trumpet call. The trouble with speakers like the HD-62 set is that their wonderful sound makes me late for appointments; when I arrive at my destination, I don't want to get out of my car.

  

“A new standard for Reverberant Field” Musical Transportation.
The speakers in any audio system establish the basis for the quality of sound. After all, if the speakers themselves aren't of the best quality by design-the music, no matter how pure, will get lost in the transfer.

 

Good speaker engineering doesn't happen by accident nor is it accomplished by expensive marketing. Years of research, engineering and critical listening go into our proprietary speaker system

designs - they are the systems critically acclaimed by industry professionals, and they are built on a technology called "Contoured Dispersion".

The CDT Audio Component drivers with "Contoured Dispersion" provide the ultimate solution to the sonically intense reverberant field car audio environment. Most factory audio speakers are located in the same place, and most of our competitors take the "shotgun" approach with a multiplicity of despair sound sources. Our integrated oblique driver system provides single mounted Contoured Dispersion door mounted system that produces



a sonic image that virtually appears "right in front" of you. It offers maximum sound definition with a minimum of drivers. This means it's also very easy to install. Simplicity at it's best. They're competition quality and they literally shape the sound so it appears where it's suppose to be. Up front and on the Beat.

Critical ears have turned to CDT Audio and you'll be a believer too. Let the Music begin! Until you've heard CDTAUDIO, we think you've never heard the most accurate, most compelling musical reproduction you can here in a car. Which is why we say get CDTAUDIO and..

Attending the live event:
The impact of StageFront technology is immediately obvious - the voices and instruments seem to magically take shape in a seamless sound stage directly ahead above the dash. The result is to create a listening experience that is much more like the experience of attending the live event - the musicians and sound sources seem to be arrayed in front of you as if you were sitting at the live concert first row. Several psycho-acoustic effects need to be accomplished in order for this to work so well.

High frequencies to the front:
The sound image is moved more towards the front of the vehicle by gradually shifting the highest frequencies exclusively to the front of the vehicle, purposely directing (cross-firing) them inward and at an angle, using the windshield as a virtual ground plane. It is unlike any conventional speaker placement philosophy, but no other system creates the imaging effect of StageFront technology
 
Less "highs" from the doors:
All door speakers in the system are sheped and blended to keep the existing (typically two-way) door speakers radiating nearly flat power up to carefully lowered upper cutoff frequency. These higher frequencies are typically directional and can interfere with the angular dispersion pattern created by the StageFront? super Tweeters mounted  "cross-firing" up on the dash. This careful shaping and blending process enables the dash mounted Tweeters to work transparently without creating a haze of localized reverberation in the front of the car. Unless the special StageFront? universally compatible blending filter modules are used, the added Tweeters would actually collapse the more natural and transparent frontal sound field that StageFront? creates. Our extensive listening tests support this conclusion. The effects of StageFront technology are NOT subtle.
 
Reflective Cross-Firing
In our  "UpStage" system 500 series only the highest frequencies are handled by the cross-firing Tweeters that are mounted up on the dashor a-pillars. These Tweeters utilize the surface of the windshield to project a sound field of great clarity and transparency. Thel sound images can even appear to originate from beyond crossover modules, and mounting hardware.
 
The Upstage™ 500 series add-on module in the system is a specific blending band-control module to set up the "cross-firing" windshield Tweeters. This blending module also shape and filters the signals going to the door speakers to maintain non-varying controlled dispersion. On-board jumpers set up various types of door speakers. Level-matching options are also provided to set up the Tweeters and perfect frequency tuning of the door speakers. A set of these Tweeters and various mounting options completes the primary front system.
 
Nothing Ripped Out Or Thrown Out!
One of the best things about the Upstage? system is that none of your speakers, none of your crossovers, not one part of your system whatsoever needs to be ripped out or thrown out. The UpStage? 500 system is an addition that improves and enhances what you already have.

Adding those two super Tweeters (plus the addition of specially engineered shaping and blending modules you cannot see) will make you see the light... will make you see the future of more accurate, more realistic, and more exciting sound reproduction... and the future of music on the road
the windshield given good source material. On all source material, StageFront? technology ensures the apparent location of the sound source will not be associated with the position of the Tweeters whether virtual or actual. This is a characteristic of any good speaker when properly set up. Extra spaciousness and clarity in the sound can be achieved. StageFront? technology brings ideal "UpStage" imaging into any vehicle.  
 
All Sound Above the Dash!
StageFront "UpStage" System, remove the distracting and low image sound effects from your conventional systems drivers and move your sound onto a seamless sound stage directly ahead up above the dash.
 
The Upstage™ system is available as a system to transform your vehicle.  It includes a special set of frequency-control modules that can be combined with various speaker components that include Tweeters,
