Kenwood DMX-120BT

When deploying a high-quality audio system in a car, you cannot do without an advanced head unit. The Kenwood DMX-120BT media receiver is included in the category of those for sane money.

Communications

The car radio is assembled in a shortened housing with a seating depth of 75 mm. The reason for this is the lack of an archaic CD drive. The sources of audio and visual content for the model are USB drives and mobile gadgets connected to the head unit via a wire or “over the air”. The prefix BT in the expanded naming of the media receiver clearly hints at its equipment with a built-in Bluetooth module with a signal range of up to 10 m.

Onboard amplifier

The Kenwood DMX-120BT on-board amplifier delivers a nominal power of 21 watts to each of the 4 channels. A 7-band equalizer is provided to customize the sound. It is proposed to drag its sliders through touch control. Fortunately, the 6.8-inch screen of the head unit is sensitive to touch. A fly in the ointment with a close acquaintance with him is the low screen resolution of 800x480 pixels.

Connection flexibility

The entire process of user interaction with the radio is tied to touch control. The receiver has no physical buttons at all. In the interface shelf of the head unit there are connectors "tulips", a video input for a reversing camera, inputs for connecting an FM antenna and an external microphone. Optionally, the radio tape recorder is subject to a garter for the control system from the buttons on the steering wheel of the car. Kenwood DMX-120BT fully fulfills every penny spent and will please the riders of "iron horses" with flexible sound tuning options without "dancing with a tambourine" around the bush.
