A new CAOS that draws the form of music that makes a very different sound in the new and old CAOS

Auto Sound Web (ASW): CAOS standard vehicles C6 (released in 2016), C7 (released in the fall of 2018), and N-Q100/A3 (released in the fall of 2018) for idling stops.。

Kenji Mayuzumi (hereinafter referred to as Mayuzumi): C6 and C7 for standard vehicles, A3 for idling stop vehicles, but if you talk about the audition results, it will be easy to understand the new and old standard vehicles, so that part.Let's proceed with.If you refuse, C7 and A3 have a very similar tendency and there is a difference from the C6.

The C6 for the standard car I heard this time is a model that is used as a reference in the audition system of the auto sound web, and it was used in previous auditions, right?Although it is basically fully charged and monitored the voltage, it is maintained properly, but the C7 has been used to some extent while the C7 is new.So I didn't compare it with exactly the same conditions.

Haruo Shio (hereafter, tide): But if you actually use the C6 model of CAOS, if there is a user who wants to replace it with the appearance of C7, the situation has just been reproduced.

Mayuzumi: That's right.This time, the difference in sound of the vehicle inspection and the difference in sound when the battery was changed to CAOS was used for two to three years and three years and three years.

Tide: Change over time!

ASW: That's it.

Tide: This is an interview that is in line with the general use conditions.

Mayuzumi: To put it honestly, it is so different that it can change so much.

Tide: It changes.Surprisingly, the sound bleeding ... I thought it was a clear sound when I was listening to the C6, but when I set it to C7, the vocal core or a nucleus ...Another thing I felt was where the staging was wide.I simply changed the battery and didn't have any other elements, but I felt once again how much the energy of the power supply would be more advantageous for audio regeneration.

Mayuzumi: Looking at the Panasonic CAOS website, what I've been saying in recent years has not changed much.The specifications of C6 and C7 have changed in detail, but they are not published.The sound is different, but I want to know what factors have changed, but in the case of Panasonic batteries, I don't know what the cause is.

It seems that not only one factor, but also the specifications adopted by the new model are complex, but I feel that it is almost the same from the outside of the battery.But as tide said, the size of the space that spreads out in front of you as soon as the first sound comes out is different.When I listened to C7, it was extremely spacious and deep.Then, the ambience of the space or the characteristics of the recorded place is more clear in C7.

Shido: I and Mayuzumi -san were half a studio recording song.In particular, Battistoni conducted Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, which I heard, was recorded in Tokyo Opera City.So it wasn't a live recording, but I felt that the height of the opera ceiling was properly reproduced in the C6CAOS.But when I listened to C7, "Oh, it was so high!]Not only the size of the staging, but also the depth was drawn brilliantly.

Even when Mr. Mayuzumi was listening to Mutor's violin, I had the impression that the thickness of the string of the stradivari she played was more expressed.I think she was playing the sound of the material of the instrument she was playing.

The expressive power at the low level changes greatly.I don't think the sensory S/N has changed so much, but the texture of each sound was quite different.

ASW: You've been listening to successive CAOS batteries so far, right?It is compared with other companies that are not only Panasonic.C7 seems to be a very good evaluation in today's interview, but isn't the C6 bad?Since it is a CAOS that has been a standard battery of the audition set of Auto Sound Web, I have been proud of interviewing the stance of listening with a better battery so far.What happens if you say the ability of C6 again with Mayuzumi's impression?

Every time a model change, CAOS continues to evolve in terms of sound

Mayuzumi: It's been a long time since I heard Panasonic's battery for the first time, but at that time it was a beautiful and beautiful sound, but it looks a little energy ... Horse -like things, for example, a brand made of overseas.I remember that the battery had a more interesting impression.

The quality of the successive series has definitely improved.I think it has changed a lot around C3 or C4 compared to the earliest time, but since then it has changed to linear.When a new model came out, it would definitely improve, but it felt like the same vector was the same improvement.It is the impression that the C6 is a very well -made battery by the extension.

However, in the new CAOS I listened to this time, in the winston Marsalis quartet, which I always listen to, started with the bass pizza cart ... I thought that the base sound was completely different, but after that the piano was rhythm.I think I heard what I put out, but there are many things that I can't hear properly.

Tide: The feeling of the base of the base, the feeling of the base, the firmness has been transmitted.Even when I listened to the C6, I thought it was a battery with a fairly clear sound, but when I compared it, I had an eye on such a small part, and the C7 was more of the sound.You can see that the progress is solid.

Mayuzumi: When you don't hear it in your original form, it's something you don't notice, and when you hear it properly, it says, "Yes, you have to do it like this."This was just about 30 seconds at the beginning of the feeling of jazz, and it was like "Oh, it's completely different."The other songs were the same.For example, a song called Piff Puff, which was released on a stereo sound test CD, which was released about 20 years ago, but I didn't know when I first heard it in the past.When you listen to it with a recent audio device, you can see how the echo of that voice spreads into the space when you raise that voice.

The sound of Piffphh's voice is appropriate and accurate in both batteries.It was a bit difficult to hear in the C6 up to the faint echo expression.Even if I didn't want to listen to the C7 and listen to it, I was able to listen to it because it was ringing there.There was such a difference between C6 and C7.

Tide: The energy from the middle to the low frequency is more clearly more clear with the C7.In terms of staging or scale, I heard Karen Sousa songs, which is a studio recording, but the back chorus is lined up as a mixing technique.What is the floating feeling of the chorus?C7 comes out better than C6.I think that the main vocal has been confirmed the difference between the old and new in the part where the chorus can be heard behind it while being more localized near the listener.

After that, I put Cant Takes My's of You from Etraine, a family, but it's a song that I recorded myself, so it's a song that I can understand very well.I thought that the shape of the sound was very good, especially on the base, especially the drums -based cymbal -based legato appearances.

It is such an expression when compared to the new and old, but I do not think that C6 is bad at all.It means that C7 has evolved so much.

An accessory life wink with a clear battery life is also recommended

Mayuzumi: Probably, even if you are using C6 now, you will use it for more than two years.

Tide: C6 has been sold in 2016 and sold until the fall and winter of 2018, so that's a long time.How long has Mayumi replacing the battery?

Mayuzumi: I guess I'm a relatively long one.However, the maintenance is good.There are optional parts that check the status of the battery released by Panasonic, Life Wink.I'm wearing it.

Tide: On the battery?

Mayuzumi: That's right.However, CAOS is less likely to deteriorate because it claims a long life.It will inform you of the condition by the number of LEDs lighting, but if you use it to some extent, you will not have one point.It is a state where the performance has dropped a little.But in the experience I used, one or more do not fall.Before that, I often changed the battery for other factors.However, with the car I am riding, it is scary to use it until the last minute, so I change it in about three years.Still, when I was looking at Life Wink, I could ride with confidence that I was still okay, so management became easier.

Tide: I use a dry battery.The dry battery suddenly dies.One day, I ran the engine in the morning and stopped at the parking lot where I went out, and the engine did not start (laughs).It's super scary after that.There is no sign like an old car, and it will be difficult for cells to go around.So I change it early, but I think that three years is the other media.

ASW: In the case of CAOS for standard vehicles, three years are within the warranty period.

Tide: Is it within the warranty period?That's amazing.If it is the warranty period, it seems that ordinary cars can be used for about 5 years.

Mayuzumi: Lifewink has a function to record information.Data can be read by using a special machine.

ASW: If you look at the dedicated tester, you can check the battery status from the time you wear the lifewink in chronological order.

Shide: I can do that too.

Mayuzumi: CAOS practices things that are not done in other batteries.That's why I can use it for a long time with confidence, but if I did this interview, if this sound was so different, the model change was made to listen to the new sound, not because the performance of the battery I used so far has deteriorated.When I did it, I thought it would be better to replace it.

Tide: Because the actual selling price is about 20,000 yen?Even if you buy a sloppy cable in that area, it will be a lot of expenses, so it's a super bargain.It's a great reason to change from the power supply source.

Mayuzumi: How much can I buy this size (100d23)?

ASW: I checked it now, but it seems that you can buy it for about 12,000 yen if it is the cheapest place on Amazon.

Tide: You can buy a cable.

Mayuzumi: It's an element that changes the sound, or the battery may be the largest in terms of the specific gravity, so it might be more efficient to change the battery before changing the accessory parts.

Tide: Stop a condenser like a big rocket.

If you want a good sound, if you use the same battery for 3 years, we recommend that you replace it with a new CAOS.

Mayuzumi: If you have a single power amplifier, you can hear a better sound if you think that the battery is a consumable item and change it more and more.

Tide: I think it's right.very.Some people who are serious about car audio have two or three power amplifiers, so the battery deterioration should be quicker in such a car.I would like to highly recommend the three -year exchange theory.

Mayuzumi: In the past, how much the sound changes by replacing the battery in the car, but I think you can see the changes in the sound like this time.I confirmed how much the difference I felt in the listening call in the audition room and the car, and I can almost hear it.So the difference between the C6 and C7 I heard here should come out in the car.

Tide: You can find a considerable difference in cars because you can see this difference here.

Mayuzumi: If you're interested in the sound, or want to listen with a good sound, or even those who don't use CAOS, I think it's better to use CAOS.Even if you are already a CAOS user, if it has been installed for more than a year, there is a difference that "the sound will change and you will be surprised."

Tide: I feel like there is no rival.Southeast Asian products are impressive.

ASW: Even domestic brands are produced overseas, and if it is an overseas brand, will it be a major battery manufacturer?And CAOS is a very rare pure country product.All parts procurements are in Japan.

Tide: Pure domestic products are now valuable, but the technical level is still high, so high quality products are formed.Indeed, there is such a background in CAOS.I want you to continue domestic production.

Mayuzumi: CAOS has been talked about standard cars because the new and old comparison was very interesting this time, but there are variations for idling stops and hybrid vehicles.There are some imported cars I use.

Tide: It's fulfilling.

Mayuzumi: In terms of variations, idling stop cars and hybrid vehicles should be used in a very harsh battery, and the performance is incomparable to the battery of the Showa era.It should be.Because it is a CAOS that can handle all of them, I would like you to try CAOS that can be mounted on your car.If you choose the same capacity of the car you are riding, you will definitely feel the goodness of the CAOS sound.If you haven't converted the car audio for commercial products, you'll see this difference.

Tide: You can upgrade very reasonably.

How much the difference in the power cable can be heard is conducted by CAOS battery cable combination audition

ASW: Based on the conditions above, we fixed the battery to C7CAOS and listened to the power cable.Auto Sound Web's listening reference cable uses AT7704 and AT7708, a regat series released by Audio Technica in 2008.This time, we prepared the Audio-Technica TCP8 (¥ 800/m) as a very common power cable, and the recently released regat series AT-RX008 ($ 8,000/m), and listen to each.Saw.

Tide: In general, ordinary car audio users and car audiofans may not even have to be replaced with commercial cables, but I listened to TCP8 of Technica as an entry -grade product.rice field.From the original reference cable AT7708, it will be a lot down.This is a two -generation power cable of the regat series, and there is a considerable difference because it is a reference adoption with the quality of the sound.

I think I could hear it with a reasonable sound.Well, it can be said that it is easy to understand.When I was worried, I felt rough and rough.In other words, it can be said that it can be heard dynamically.

It was such a feeling, but listening to Karen Sousa's vocals makes the sound focus sweet, and it is a blurred feeling that the overall impression is blurred.To put it simply, you can listen to this unless you are particular about the details.However, even though it was two generations, the range of range is slightly lower than with high -end cables.If the battery has been changed to the latest high -performance battery, the power cable may be something that matches it in some way or more.

Since it will be the first lifeline of the car audio, I felt that it would be better to use a higher grade than standard products.

Mayuzumi: I changed the power cable using the C7 battery of CAOS, but the power cable has a price difference of about 10 times.The sound that actually came out was "it's quite different."In a sense, the CAOS battery is strong, scary, or in a sense.

Tide: Dangerous!? (Laughs).

Mayuzumi: It seems that it is likely to get stuck in the bog as an audio, and if you do it, it will be better if you use a good thing, which is reflected as a difference in sound properly.I'm just happy.

Tide: I'm glad if it gets better (laughs).

Mayuzumi: If you have such an experience, you want to do more.If you have such a danger ...

繊細な表現もしっかり再現してくれるcaos & レグザット

Tide: Audio's hobby has such a rebellion part, and if it is no longer fun, you should stop it.After TCP8, if you listen to the same technica regat AT-RX008, the vocal shape will be in a proper shape and the focus will rise, but the sound field can be heard in a solid and three-dimensional sound.I thought it was good.If the mid -low range is a power cable in the entry -class, it will fall, but if it is a regat, it will come out in a sense of quantity.Above all, I felt that the distortion was reduced.

Mayuzumi: It feels like you can get the taste of the sound.

Tide: The savory taste is gone.

Mayuzumi: You know clearly.If it is a cheaper cable, it is C7CAOS, so you can hear the three -dimensional expression of the space properly, but the individual sounds are a little rough.The area is polished neatly, but it doesn't become smooth, but it seems that hair is left properly.

Tide: Yes, with detailed expressiveness, it tells you properly.

Mayuzumi: I think that the ability of the power supply part as a battery to be able to accurately listen to such subtle differences is that the power of the power supply is increasing that much.

Tide: The performance is improving, and the power cable is telling the ability properly.In terms of the taste of the dishes, there is a taste part, or it is like a last salt, but I think this cable is that I will spare no effort to eat delicious food.。

Mayuzumi: For example, if you want to listen to a good sound of car audio and want to hear a good sound, if you attach a certain device firmly and think that you are doing quite a bit, you can do it around the power supply.I would like to suggest that you review it.

The speaker itself, the amplifier itself, or the head unit or processor may be good, but it is really a total of exactly how it is installed and what kind of tuning you can make the last adjustment.In order to finish it, I want to say that it is better to turn the power first.

Tide: That's right.First of all, the power supply is the root of all the energy, so if you get stuck here, there will be no good sound, so I would like you to look here, and by reviewing the power, it is as fun as Mayuzumi said now.You can see that."Eh? Is this here?].I just need to step up again.

As with home audio, there are many cases where the body spends a lot of money on the body, but the surrounding area is sloppy.In order to bring out the performance of excellent audio equipment, it is necessary to invest in Akiho and invest as such.

Mayuzumi: I have introduced a clean power supply unit from one time in my audio system at home.So I don't look at the waveform of the power supply, but if you look at the voltage of the house outlet with a voltmeter, you can see quite a lot of fluctuations depending on the time.

Tide: The voltage of the home power supply will be more expensive than you think.

Mayuzumi: I tried to put the clean power supply unit and thought it was a good idea, but I had to do it properly.If you're an audio for a long time, nobody will believe it even if you talk like this now, but if you put in a dimmer, it will get worse, and it has become commonplace in the current era.。Even more, recently, various things have been poured in 100V.

Tide: Put the Internet on the power line.Not only the electricity that comes to the outlet, but also wireless LAN is becoming commonplace.Anyway, it's full of noise, so it's important to protect the power from there.

Mayuzumi: The car will be similar.

Tide: No, rather a car may be worse.

Mayuzumi: I don't think there will be many problems that should have been apparent if you don't use a good battery.But if you make it the latest CAOS, you'll get everything.Mania should be a better power supply environment.

Tide: I think the components of the noise are very noticeable in the combination of CAOS and regat.There is a power cable especially in the car audio, the digital signal has analog and the speakers are running.In addition, there are vehicle computers and engine plug sparks.Everything like that is unnecessary radiation.And they are receiving it.In such a situation, I think that it will be a power supply environment where you can see that the noise is not on board after sorting the order of the cable.

At the low level …… The small level reproduction rises and you can hear it, so you can hear the sound of a spike in a high range if it is a cheap cable.。

ASW: If you can hear good things better, but if you have a little difficult ...

I want you to listen to it with a good sound, so I want you to prepare the power supply environment.

Tide: Yes.So if you replace it with this battery and a cable, everyone may not be a rose car audio life.I think some people are disappointed.But because there are some inconvenient parts, if you correct it, you will be able to demonstrate your original performance.

Mayuzumi: The more people who like car audio, the more they listen to the same song thousands of times, so the level they want to listen to with their ears will naturally rise.So if you use C7CAOS, you will be aware of your car problem.I'm choosing a good product, but I'm still going to do it.

Tide: But I want you to hear a good sound, a good sound.Audio is a hobby of listening to music with good sound.You would want to eat delicious food anyway.Audio is the same as eating delicious dishes, and it's for listening to good music with good sounds.

Mayuzumi: One of the most important things to listen to with a good sound was a power supply, and C7CAOS could be heard properly.I've been listening for a lot of speakers used in Auto Sound Web's reference for a long time, but when I combined the latest CAOS and the latest audio -technica gallery, I felt, "Is it still more like this?"。In other words, it means that the car audio you have used so far has fully drawn out the original potential.

Tide: The opera that Mayuzumi was listening to ...

Mayuzumi: It's a singer called Samuel Ramy.

潮：その声の後ろでグランカッサが鳴らされているでしょう。あのかすかに聴こえる太鼓の聴こえ方が組合せを換えるたびに違っているのが興味深かった。ああいう微少レベルでの再現力がcaos & レグザットで一番よく出ていましたね。

Mayuzumi: I thought it was a sound that makes the listener serious.

Tide: That's exactly the sound.
