Kenwood KMMBT508DAB

KMM-BT508DAB

Digital media receiver with DAB+ digital radio, Bluetooth technology and Amazon Alexa voice service.

Digital radio DAB+ with seamless blending
The DAB+ tuner receives the extensive range of digital radio programs in fantastic quality - and not just in Germany, because digital radio is available in almost all European countries. And if a sufficiently strong DAB broadcast signal is not available, the tuner automatically switches temporarily to the appropriate FM frequency. Seamless blending, an intelligent data buffer, ensures seamless transitions without annoying level and time offsets.

Amazon Alexa
With the Amazon Alexa app you can listen to music, check the current traffic situation, create shopping lists, get the latest news and much more. The more you use Alexa, the better the system adapts to your voice and personal preferences. To use Amazon Alexa via the KMM-BT508DAB, all you need to do is install the app on your smartphone and establish a Bluetooth connection.

Bluetooth handsfree
The Bluetooth module allows safe and convenient phone calls while driving. The voice quality is significantly improved by the included external microphone and a sophisticated sound processing with suppression of echo and background noise. A special highlight is the ability to pair two phones simultaneously and operate them in parallel. Wireless music streaming via A2DP uses the AVRCP 1.6 profile with extended control and search functions including integration of existing information about title, artist, album or genre.

5 Phone Music Mix
The "Music Mix" function allows you to connect up to 5 smartphones simultaneously to the car radio as a Bluetooth audio source and switch between the A2DP streams of the individual players at any time. This can be done either via a button on the Kenwood car stereo or simply by launching the smartphone music player. Switching between the different audio players is done without delay.

DSP with digital delay correction
The DSP of the KMM-BT508DAB can improve the sound in the car in many ways. The equalizer with 13 bands, for example, allows you to compensate for vehicle-specific peaks or valleys in the frequency response and thus ensures a harmonious sound image. The digital delay correction makes it possible to compensate for the influence of the loudspeaker position on the acoustic imaging of the room.

Kenwood Remote App
The Kenwood Remote App turns compatible Android smartphones into a comprehensive remote control for all Kenwood Bluetooth car radios. The app is controlled via large touch buttons or voice control for basic commands such as pause or track skip. And even more extensive equalizer settings or runtime correction can be done via the app on the smartphone. You can get the Kenwood Remote app for free in the Google Playstore.

Large display and low installation depth
The VA-LC display of the KMM-BT508DAB offers a significantly higher contrast compared to conventional TN displays and can be read excellently from all positions.
By dispensing with an integrated CD drive, it was possible to reduce the installation depth of this media receiver to just 100 millimeters. This means that the car radio can also be used in vehicles with particularly tight installation space or for concealed installation, e.g. in classic cars.
