JVC KW-X830BT

The JVC KW-X830BT media receiver breaks the traditional idea of how “two-din” car radios should look like at the turn of 2018-2019. This is due to the lack of the usual colour display. Instead, the front panel space of the receiver is made available to large buttons and a matrix screen, which is much closer in layout to 1DIN format models.

In leg

Keeping up with modern trends in the genre of building car audio systems, the radio tape recorder got rid of the physical drive and acquired an invisible net that “catches” up to five mobile gadgets via the Bluetooth network in one sitting. Navigation through the media library of paired devices is possible directly from the head unit, which affects the convenience of switching audio tracks while driving.

Sound quality

The model uses a digital DSP processor with a three-band crossover, an audio delay function and a 13-band equalizer. Another plus in the karma of the autoreceiver is reading FLAC files with a bit depth of 24 bits and a sampling rate of 96 kHz. Tracks in this format literally “ring” with impeccable detail, if, of course, you listen to them on suitable speakers.

Remote control

It is possible to control the head unit through the JVC Remote mobile application : switch tracks, adjust the volume of records, set the frequency of the radio station and, more importantly, operate the settings. A separate item in the programme for the smartphone is the choice of the colour of the backlight of the functional elements of the car radio. The model hides a remarkable musical potential behind her brutal appearance, which attracts the attention of the public to her modest person.
