never heard a disconcerting volume level
change when switching sources or dis-
tortion at extreme volumes. Nor, to my
knowledge, did we blow out any speak-
ers, which is another benefit of the tech-
nology (functions called Volume Equal-
izer and Feed Forward Limiter).
While digital sound processing hap-
pens automatically (and apparently work
to some degree with third-party amps and
speakers), Apollo DSP also has specific
Fusion settings that can be adjusted in the
FUSION-Link app. In short, they have
audio-profiled all their own speakers and
amps so that the DSP can better match
the output to where it’s going. I suspect
this contributed significantly to the good
audio we heard, but I’m also aware that it’s
a clever way to help prevent the popular
choice of combining Fusion head units
with JL amps and speakers.
