Masters/The Drive EQ framework produces amazing sound notwithstanding street conditions.


CONS/The most extreme force yield is just 200 watts.


Decision/notwithstanding far reaching playback alternatives and cell phone incorporation, the Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X998 is one of the best auto stereos on account of the measure of control it gives you over molding the sound to your inclinations.

The main genuine drawback to the Kenwood eXcelon arrangement of auto sound recipients is the 200-watt greatest yield, which isn't a major ordeal. Most auto stereos have a 200-watt max yield rating. Then again, the persistent yield is 88 RMS watts, which is among the best we inspected. So it will most likely be unable to handle substantial spikes in the volume yield, however it can deal with heavier loads for more periods than most auto stereos with implicit intensifiers can.


The Compact disc player has a sign to-clamor proportion of 110 dB, which is the second best S/N proportion among the auto Album players we evaluated. This implies the sound sign is 110 dB more noteworthy than any undesirable signs yielded to the speakers, which makes for to a great degree clean sound, free of murmuring and contortions.


The best element of the eXcelon KDC-X998 is the 13 adaptable equalizer recurrence groups and the Drive EQ framework.

Also, the Drive EQ framework is an arrangement of programmed presets intended to upgrade particular frequencies that reduce in certain driving conditions, as when you're on the interstate.

It's additionally perfect with SiriusXM satellite radio, however you need to buy the collector and membership independently.

While most auto stereos with Bluetooth have elements composed particularly for Pandora, the eXcelon likewise has good control highlights for iHeartRadio and Aha Radio. The A2DP Bluetooth profile permits you to stream all the sound from your telephone, yet the AVRCP permits you to communicate with these applications from the faceplate so you don't need to get to your telephone.

The outer mouthpiece is furnished with a long rope, which permits you to introduce it anyplace you need in your auto. It additionally elements commotion wiping out channels so that your guests hear you over the sound of the street.


Showcase Highlights


The best some portion of the faceplate is the three lines of content in the presentation, which make it to a great degree simple to peruse craftsman data. The showcase isn't jumbled with modest symbols like those of numerous auto stereos. You can disengage the faceplate when you leave the auto so that detestable sorts aren't enticed to take it. The Disc port, USB port and AUX port all have dust covers, which delays the life of the stereo. You likewise can alter the hues to coordinate your inside.

This is an auto stereo that can do it all.


Lof ot features but SQ not best

I own kenwood ddx-5036 in my car. This is a car dvd player with touch screen interface. You can play music as well as videos in this system. I have to appreciate this player since it provides lot of features . And looks are beatiful. It supports lof of video and music formats than its competitors pioneer, sony ..etc. The video playback is clean. These and all good but sound quality wise i didnt feel its best . It provides clean sound but lacks in bass. Earlier i had pioneer system in my old car, that provided the better bass performance than this.


In kenwood system , you hear vocals more than music, where as in pioneer you hear music and vocals. Sound quality is ok , but if you are the person you want more bass , then you might feel this system be a little flat. But if you are a classical music listener this system provides very good sq.


Even though it provides good features , the sytem is little bit slow in touch response. You cannot control the unit while driving the car. And one more thing i hate about this player is , there's no song sorting option . Where as in pioneer it takes it in the order of aplphabatical so that you can easily sort them. But here it takes in the order of the files written date, thats very bad. So only option to organise the songs is copy in the order. While copying you have to copy one by one in the order , and if you misplaced any song you have to do it from the beginning. Where as in pioneer , its very easy job of just renaming it proceedint with some numbers.


Overall, kenwood systems are ok..but listen to pioneer before deciding factor.


Kenwood Excelon KDC-X492 CD receiver
Nov 24, 2008 03:55 PM 12526 Views

Technical Details CD player with built-in MOSFET amplifier (22 watts RMS/50 peak x 4 channels) plays CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RW discs, including discs loaded with MP3, WMA, and AAC files (will not play rights-protected music files on disc) detachable face inputs: front USB and auxiliary inputs Kenwood has developed a "dual mode" feature for this unit (and other I suspect) which I think would be ideal for families with kids. Easily selectable, in dual mode different sources can be listened to through the front and back speakers. With the included remote control, the kids can play what they please (iPod, whatever) through the back speakers while the adults can do what they want in front. Good idea.


All in all, this is a good sounding unit that has a nice quality feel. Great for the price and I'd do it again faced with the same circumstances.
