The Mustang Mach-E is one of the most anticipated electric car launches of 2020 and, like a number of models in Ford’s current line-up, it will feature a sound system powered by B&O.
Called, quite literally, the Ford Mustang Mach-E B&O Sound System, it’s a 10-speaker 560-Watt set-up. One-third of the car's dashboard is, in B&O's words, “dominated by audio” and it’s where you’ll find two 25mm tweeters and one 8cm midrange speaker situated.
To give the system a more familiar and homely feel, B&O has covered the tweeters in what it calls a Heathered Grey textile (i.e. fabric), designed to mirror the finish of B&O's home speakers. The system’s press release even claims the design can help create an element of calmness, which will undoubtedly come in handy when you’re stuck in a 10-mile tailback.
The B&O Sound System also features an Externally Coupled Subwoofer (ECS) which uses the car’s cabin to help produce powerful bass. This unit takes up around 80% less space than a traditional subwoofer.
We were big fans of the B&O Play Sound System for the Ford Fiesta, and we’ve had a great experience in electric cars before, most notably the Jaguar I-Pace with its Meridian Audio Surround Sound System. Hopefully, we'll be able to take the new Mustang Mach-E for a spin and let you know how it sounds!
