FOUR MASTER Sextons, Southampton demonstrates Audio Heaven with it new demo car. Based on a Honda CRV and installed with Audison VOCE speakers the car illustrates perfectly what a FOUR MASTER can do for music lovers on the move.
Four Masters are a network of car stereo experts all skilled and qualified to turn your car into your own private listening space. Whether you retain the factory fitted stereo, or want to upgrade it for extra features like an iPod input or Bluetooth for instance, is entirely up to you, we know that the biggest difference you can make to your musical enjoyment is in upgrading the speakers for clear high and warm mid-range frequencies and adding a sub-woofer for sumptuous, enjoyment enriching bass.
This guaranteed effect is reflected in the name of our mid-priced system which we call Audio Heaven. The Audio Heaven system featured below was installed by FOUR MASTER Sextons in Southampton. The equipment was all chosen for purpose and apart from the Alpine head unit, comes from top Italian company Audison.
Known for its no compromise approach to producing innovative products with excellent sound as the chief priority, these products do not let them down. The Audison Voce AV-K6 component speakers recently won a pan-European award (EISA) as best speakers in their class. Much of the technology is borrowed from Audison’s world renowned high-end Thesis range and the results are comparable to speakers costing a lot more. A Voce 12” sub-woofer and Audison LRX 6.9 amplifier completes the stairway to heaven.
FOUR MASTERS are extremely versatile and as you can see, this installation has been finished in Alcantara. The build could just as easily be finished in leather, vinyl to match the original interior or any other kind of material.

FOUR MASTERS are hoping for a good turn out of car owners who want to take advantage of a free of charge car sound clinic which will see some of the finest UK installers checking installs out for wiring anomalies and advising drivers on how to get more out of their equipment. They will even measure the sound output of your existing system so that you can decide if you are up to competition standard.
With years of experience between them, the FOUR MASTERS are only too aware of the pitfalls of DIY installs and will bein attendance not to embarrass but rather to help inspire car owners to greater things. It would be a shame if the only system ever invested in did not deliver to expectations. A good ICE install will bring huge amounts of fun and joy to your driving experience whist a poorly installed one will cause nothing but grief and could also lead to damage to the car and its occupants. This is unfortunately, the case for far too many young drivers who perhaps rush in to purchasing equipment for the wrong reasons and try to install it without the proper tools and knowledge to do the job. FOUR MASTERS want to encourage those starting out by offering free advice on performance and safety so that drivers can get the most from the sounds they love. 
So if you are heading top Peterborough next weekend, don’t forget to check with the FOUR MASTER Car Clinic and get yourself a clean bill of health. Call 07939 187149 to book an appointment!

Perfect Car Sounds for Ferrari at Auto Italia from FOUR MASTERS. Last weekend’s Auto Italia at Brooklands was once again supported by FOUR MASTERS, the nation’s only independent network of Car Audio installers. The sun and Italiana fun were perfectly accompanied by the stunning, real hi-fi sounds emanating from none other than a lowly FIAT Panda, but what it lacks in mechanical attributes, it completely annihilates in terms of pure musical enjoyment and there was no lack of interest as Auto Italia fans queued all day to get to listen to it.
With FOUR MASTERS present you just know that audio excellence is close at hand and the poor overworked Panda demonstrated this. Having received initial resistance from Ferrari, Alfa and other Italian marque fans, rumours of excellent performance began to warm them to the idea of supplementing their driving experience with great music in their cars and it wasn’t long before other FOUR MASTERS around the country were receiving phone calls asking when they had time to fit an install into a Ferrari!
 
Auto Italia, ultimately, appeals to those with an eye for style and performance and this is exactly what you get with a sound system installed by a FOUR MASTER. Hand crafted to fit sympathetically in with its surrounding yet delivering eye-popping performance which will bring a smile to the face of even the biggest unbeliever. To top it all, the Panda on show was installed with state-of-the-art audio from Italian manufacturer, Audison. Audison has long been considered the Ferrari of the car audio world developing, as it does, brand new technologies to take your car hi-fi system’s performance to new heights. But you don’t only have to take our word for it, grab yourself a copy of Driving Sounds magazine and see what past and present customers have to say about the equipment, service and end result achieved by FOUR MASTERS, then find your local FOUR MASTER and choose a system for your own vehicle, safe in the knowledge that you are joining a growing throng of discerning drivers who want the best from their car and it’s sound system.

Audison amplifies Northamptonshire cars at Audiomotive. This FOUR MASTER really knows how to move music lovers. With years of expert experience installing great sound to cars, Audiomotiv stocks plenty of Audison products as it knows these deliver quality performance and class leading reliability.
Audison, developed and built by Italian manufacturer Elettromedia, is world renowned for providing some of the finest car hi-fi amplifiers around. The LR-x range combines sonic perfection with state-of-the-art amplifier technology to deliver a special experience to music lovers on the move. Even before you get inside the product, innovation abounds. For instance the one-sided hidden cable entry point makes it possible for a FOUR MASTER to build an install without having to run cables to both sides of the amplifier. and a handy cover ensures that absolutely no cable is visible, a feature which seems so obvious, yet is rare especially on older-style amplifiers from “legendary” marques.

Inside, the LR-x provides an Amplifier Management Processor (AMP) which constantly monitors, temperature, voltage and current and initiates a whole host of safety modes to safeguard both amplifier and speakers should things get out of control! One such safeguard is the Smart Airflow Fan (SAF) which adjusts it speed depending on signals from the AMP. A Modular Sound-Proof Construction, ensures that power and signal circuitry are kept well apart to avoid any chance of cross talk and interference thus ensuring sonic integrity without avoidable losses or distortion.
Even the installer is provided for with the inclusion of a number of “patch cards” to make amplifier system configuration as simple and error-free as possible. Utilising a mix of Class AB and Class D topology within the same amplifier ensures that the comprehensive LR-x range offers the perfect amplifier for any system build. Audison’s holistic approach to design, which takes into account every aspect from performance to installation, is why Audiomotiv insist that if it has to sound great, it has to be Audison!
See it, touch it, hear it at Audiomotive, Wellingborough right now!

Audison Connection, quality car hi-fi cables from The ICE House, Staffordshire are a must have accessory for anyone wanting hi-fi sound in there car. The automotive environment is extremely harsh on low level audio signals. Amplifiers are generally mounted some distance away from the source unit requiring a considerable length of cable to join the two together. A cable carrying low level signal has to be screened in order to reject electro magnetically induced interference from adjacent cables which may be carrying far higher level signal and voltage changes to the vehicle’s systems. It is equally important that long runs of cable and the point of connection are made as loss free as possible. Any resistance will affect signal purity and therefore, overall system performance.

Italian car hi-fi thoroughbreds , Audison has, over some years, developed some of the finest performing and useful accessories and cables for those investing in good quality equipment. After all, their reputation as a hi-fi amplifier and speaker manufacturer is at stake here. It is natural to blame a component with a high price tag if things do not sound quite as they should but, poor performance is just as likely to be caused by poor connections or lossy cable so by taking care of both elements, Audison can be confident that you will get the full potential from the product.
With three distinctly different quality ranges available, Audison Connection provides every cable, connector and fuse/power distribution accessory a top installer needs to ensure close to perfect performance at all times and with excellent design implicit, you will find that your installer will enjoy working with these products. Some cables are hard on the hands and need a good deal of strength in order to get any visible cable layout to look good, but with specially developed coatings and unique strand arrangement, these issues are completely catered for.
So, to get the best from your system, contact FOUR MASTER, The ICE House in Staffordshire. Click here or call 01782 574900 today!

Source Sounds, Sheffield expert installer of Audison Bit One. The Audison Bit One is the most sophisticated car audio specific digital audio processor on the market today. Designed by Italian audio officianado’s Elettromedia, the product is hailed as the ultimate work around for installing external audio equipment to standard fit CD Tuners.
Car manufacturers these days are going to extraordinary lengths to optimise the performance of, in some cases, extremely ordinary factory fitted components. In some luxury cars, the CD Tuner electronics contains tricky sound algorithms which boost or cut certain frequencies at different listening levels and the traditional technique of simply converting the level of the speaker output of a factory fit product and feeding it into a decent amplifier is no longer an option. This is where the Bit One comes into its own as it can undo all that internal trickery and leave you with a flat response from the head unit at all volume levels.
Source Sounds Sheffiled were one of the first UK companies to get there hands on this revolutionary product and so stole a march on other specialists. Due to their dedicated time and effort in taming what can be a very sophisticated beast, they, along with other FOUR MASTERS, are now able to offer this superb solution and use it for post installation tweaks.
The Audison Bit One makes a perfect acompaniment to any high end amplifiers and speakers, in particular the Audison Thesis products launched last year. Source Sounds is renowned for building class leading competition cars and with the Bit One in their armoury are set to have a great 2010 competition season. You can meet Source sounds at this year’s unique Car Audio show Auto Sound and Style at Stoneleigh park near Coventry on March 7th and 8th.
Call Source Sounds, Sheffield on 0114 257 1550 or call in and find out more! Take one of these with you just in case!
