In this week's video @carstereochick attempts to move past her preamp testing blunder by RE-TESTING the Kenwood DMX958XR with her Fluke scopemeter. In this Round 2 of the Kenwood eXcelon DMX958XR preamp test, testing is completed with Apple Sound Check TURNED OFF. How does the Kenwood DMX958XR really perform? Is it truly 5 volts? Is it the same output whether you are connected wired, wirelessly or a simple Bluetooth connection? What is the safe max volume of the Kenwood DMX958XR's internal amp? At what point does it start to clip? Find out in this in depth Kenwood DMX958XR preamp testing video. Aside from Apple Sound Check, what other hidden audio settings in your phone could be limiting your output in your Kenwood car stereo? Spotify's Enable Audio Normalization, Android's Absolute Volume or Tidal's Loudness Equalization can all hamper and decrease the voltage and thus reduce performance of your car stereo system. Be sure to check all your app and phone audio settings to make sure you are not leaving any quality on the table!
