The DXZ366MP, DB266MP, and DB166 main units give you the feeling of a solid, intense black form presence in the cockpit that is combined with high performance. Each of the three models is equipped with the Z-Enhancer, which allows you to set 3 equalizing patterns that emphasize the full range of bass and treble tones while still maintaining a good balance of sound. The units also incorporate Magna Bass EX, which compensates for high volume by applying a weaker boost and low volume by applying a stronger boost, delivering dynamic bass to your favourite music. Clarion has accumulated unique technology that is able to break through the barriers that the in-car environment presents to produce the finest high-quality sound.

Both models handle MP3 and WMA digital audio files, and both support ID3-TAG coding for display of title info. Because both MP3 and WMA files are compressed, each CD-R or CD-RW can hold up to 12 hours of music with CD sound quality.
