Test Review: Road & Gear Magazine test review of CDT Audio UpStage Systems Quote: “The system imaged so well that I could imagine Dido standing on the dash board. The image of Dido was sharply focused and placed precisely under the rearview mirror. With the CDT 500-Series UpStage system hooked up - all images were high (about 6-8 inches above the dash) and out front in their correct locations, not down on the floormats. I heard bright, crisp, and clean sound from sharp images on a high, deep and wide soundstage. The sound seemed to be coming from the windshield. Image focus was realistic and convincing. Placement of of the musicians across the windshield stage was satisfying and compelling; the images were off the floor and above the dashboard, and we all agreed the CDT Audio UpStage™ system successfully raised the stage. This time, my ears, not my ankles, reaped the benefits”.

I was also impressed by the clarity of the sound, even at high volume. I couldn’t believe how natural is sounded. In fact, I couldn’t get enough! With the CDT UpStage system, the images were hovering near the sunvisors.”

Review the complete CDT 500_Series UpStage system test report in Road & Track roadgear In-Car Audio Video June-July-2005 issue. This silk dome tweeter on the UP-2100i is employed as a superior image tweeter. This driver excels in providing fully extended high frequency response with power and dispersion. Very airy and energetic with the smoothest power response. Power handling is excellent when used with the M200 UpStage interface module. This silk Tweeter is a touch sweeter and less critical than metal dome Tweeters. The driver is cooled by ferrofluid Neodymium magnet.
