Mark Levinson‘s New 19-Speaker System
Mark Levinson‘s new 19-speaker system is to have Automatic Sound Levelling (ASL) .. where volume is kept constant at high or low speeds.
My current Cadillac and Corvette have this "automatic volume adjust." And, I'm sure that almost all other cars of recent years do, too. But, as near as I can tell, it doesn't work. When I slow down, I have to turn the volume down. When I speed up, I have to turn it up.
I'm sure the 430 has had this. How has it worked in the 430? It would be VERY nice to have an auto volume control that really worked.

Off topic, but have you had the roof delamination issue?

ASL can be as simplistic as a set volume increase and decrease based on speed and/or engine RPM, or it can be as fancy as an in-cabin microphone that listens to all ambient noise and compensates that way.
Most ASL equipped vehicles have a way to adjust the sensetivity, too - as in if you just want it to increase/decrease the volume a little bit, or a lot more - you can set that.

Yeah, but at least the IS is more fun to drive! The LS is still a nice driving experience, just more 'mature.'
