Regulates the volume between the front and
rear stereo channels.
Fibreglass Cone
The cones used in woofers and mid-range
speakers must combine stiffness and minimal
weight for the best linear behaviour. The
Blaupunkt fibreglass cone offers particularly
pleasing resonance characteristics for a very
even frequency response.
FM Modulator
Functions in the same way as a small radio
transmitter. It converts the incoming signals
of such equipment as CD changers into radio
waves in a selected frequency, which are fed
into the car radio tuner through an adapter
connected between the antenna input and
the antenna plug. This makes it possible to
connect a CD changer to any type of car
radio.
FNM (Front Neodymium Magnet)
Technology
Neodymium magnets are known for their
compact, lightweight design. Thanks to neo-
dymium magnets, it is now possible to build
far lighter, flatter speakers with the same per-
formance capabilities. The ultra-flat design
is achieved through the use of FNM technolo-
gy. With the neodymium magnet, which is
installed in the front deep in the voice coil,
the installation depth of the speaker is redu-
ced by more than 30% and the mounting
height for coaxial system set to close to 0 mm.
FNM technology is used in all coaxial (ODx)
and component systems (ODc) in the OD
series.

GPS – Global Positioning System
25 satellites orbit the Earth. On the basis of
the location data they transmit constantly,
it is possible to use a trigonometric formula
to determine the location of a vehicle, for
example, anywhere on the Earth’s surface.
Gyroscope
Magnetically independent, electronic gyros-
copic compass for the exact measurement of
angles. Standard in airplane, ship and car
navigation systems.
H
Hands-free operation
You can use the microphone and speakers
in the car to place telephone calls without
taking your hands off the wheel.
HDD – Hard Disk Drive
Head Unit
A term commonly used in the car hi-fi industry
for a car radio in complex systems.
High pass
Active frequency crossover to control sub-
woofer/satellite speaker systems, whereby
the music signal is faded out below a
selected frequency.
High-power output stage
Car radio output stage with 22–26 watts
RMS (acc. to DIN 45 324) or 45–50 watts per
channel of max. power, created by special
high-power transistors.

ID 3 Tags
Information on artist, album, song, genre, etc.
that can be stored with every MP3 file.
This information can be shown in the car
radio display (comparable to CD-Text).
Installation kit
Mechanical adaptation of DIN car radios or
speakers to different-sized, vehicle-specific
installation locations. Blaupunkt offers a
comprehensive programme with the perfect
solution for each fitting problem.
Integrated Magnet System
To provide for greater stability, the speaker’s
driver magnet is not screwed onto the back of
the basket as usual, but rather integrated into
the basket. This affords advantages not only
for high-power-handling subwoofers, it also
increases overall reliability.
IPP (Injected Polypropylene) cone
The IPP cone developed by Blaupunkt is
a mechanically very stiff cone. With the
addition of a synthetic material to the conven-
tional PP cone, the injected IPP cone become
noticeably stiffer and produces a louder,
more linear and precise sound in the entire
frequency response range. The IPP cone
is used in all coaxial, triaxial and component
systems in the GT series and Th series.
IR remote control
A handheld or steering-wheel mounted remote
control unit whose signal is transmitted in
the invisible infrared range. Products that are
mounted on the steering wheel have been
certified by the German Technical Inspection
Agency (TÜV).
DMS – Disc Management System
The Disc Management System makes it
possible to connect a Blaupunkt CD changer
and operate it using the car radio keypad.

Dual voice coil
In a dual voice coil, the two lengths of wire
wound around the same former can be driven
separately. This provides you with greater
flexibility in the configuration of your system.
In a parallel hook-up (= half the impedance),
the amplifier connected is able to deliver
double the performance at best. For sub-
woofers that require a lot of power, each
voice coil can be wired to a separate ampli-
fier channel.
DualZone Audio
Devices equipped with dual zone audio
have preamp outs on the back that lets you
connect a second signal source (e.g. tuner
from the front, CD playback from the back).
A separate adapter is required for the connec-
tion of headphones and remote control for
the second source.
DVD
Abbreviation of Digital Versatile Disc.
Universal storage medium offered in a diverse
range of formats (e.g. DVD-video, DVD-audio,
DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW)

Equalizer
Sound control, which adapts the frequency

accommodate less-than-perfect acoustic
conditions and personal preferences.

EXP technology
EXP stands for “Extended Pole Piece”, i.e. the
pole piece of the speaker magnets is extend-
ed to allow greater linear excursion for the
cone/voice coil while simultaneously reducing
distortion.
