Source Units

THE LINK BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR MUSIC

Music more than just sound, it’s a personal life style.

From hip-hop, reggae, jazz and even disco, we all move to the beat of a different drum.

With the options for having your music at your side more diverse, Clarion has adopted an ‘Any Source, Any Time’ way of thinking.

With provisions for USB memory devices, SD card slots, front panel auxiliary inputs and easy to use iPod interfaces, there’s no portable device you can’t enjoy through your audio system.

Front AUX input

Plug it in and crank it up! Connect any audio and video portable device, including a transportable satellite radio receiver or portable navigation system with ease. The front panel auxiliary input featured on several source units provides connectivity with clarity.

USB Connectivity

Drag and drop - that’s all you have to do to copy your entire music collection onto a USB memory stick. Then simply plug it in to your Clarion USB-enabled radio and listen to countless hours of your favorite music. For 2007, Clarion USB-enabled radios will allow you to access 15,000 songs from a single USB device, and view ID3 tag information to let you know what you’re listening to.

iPod Integration

The EA1276 interface takes iPod® integration to another level. Featuring the capability of navigation through playlist, similar to changing tracks on a CD.

The EA1276 will charge the battery in your iPod as you listen, so you’ll be ready to go when you arrive at your destination.

AAC Playback

Ripping your music collection is as a few clicks of the mouse. Now, playing that music is just as easy. Clarion adds Apple iTunes® AAC file support to our existing MP3 and WMA compressed digital audio compatibility.

Revive Your Music

When audio files are compressed into MP3, WMA, or AAC formats, every attempt is made to remove only that information which is not easily heard, this is called perceptual encoding. The drawback is that frequencies over 10kHz are often lost or distorted. Clarion’s exclusive “Sound Restorer” processing recreates those subtle nuances and harmonics back into the recording. Compressed music files, wont sound like compressed music.

SLIDETRAK

Clarion takes H.M.I. to yet another level with the introduction of SLIDETRAK. SLIDETRAK provides precise control of the key features on the head unit. With a simple swipe of the fingertip, you can easily adjust the volume level up or down. In addition, SLIDETRAK maximizes the available space on the head unit’s face to create a large easy to read display. By incorporating the radio presets and CD track controls into multi functional display. By sliding the display to either side, you’ll be able to navigate through your radio presets or select your favorite music track.

Shooting Star Design

Advances in H.M.I. design take many forms. The new DB175MP through DXZ475MP feature our new Shooting Star control panel design. Shooting Star puts all the controls as close as possible to the driver and allows for a larger, easier to read LCD display that contains more information. A centrally located rotary volume knob punctuates this advanced design.

Cutting Edge Design

Clarion isn’t afraid to be different - this is what was behind the design of FB275BT. A unique feature set combined with our Metal Shark design makes this deck stand out in the crowd. Unconventional materials, indirect lighting and aggressive styling combine to make a source unit that will attract attention, even before you turn up the volume.

Tired of the same old thing? Clarion designers thrive of creativity - the result is UDB275MP - an unconventional approach to an unconventional product. UDB275MP incorporates a simple and stylish design, one that is smooth and clean. The H.M.I. interface is simple and effective, adding to the uncluttered look. Add unique features like front-panel auxiliary input and USB with variable color illumination, and UDB275MP stands out in more ways that one.
