E-2 vs Harman Kardan

The MB dealer called and they have located a car like i was planning on ordering... this car is missing the panaramic roof, but i can live with out that...

However it has listed

E2
E5
E3

E 2 on www.mbusa.com is listed as

E2: Value Added Package
What could be more in tune with the times than your favorite music? The harman kardon Logic 7 premium sound system specially designed for the E-Class "listens" to the sound in the cabin and compensates for unwanted noise automatically. Its 12 speaker array includes dual surround speakers and a subwoofer. The system features multichannel digital surround-sound technology developed for the professional recording industry, to provide a natural and realistic sound stage. Digital Dynamic Volume Control helps preserve the sound balance under all driving conditions.

The right details can make a good day great or a great day even better. You can start your day by letting the sun shine in through a power tilt/sliding tinted glass sunroof with one-touch express-open.


but on the www.mbusa.com web page it has the Harman Karmn listed as:
harman kardon
The new digital surround-sound system from harman kardon® LOGIC 7 technology was specially developed and adapted to the interior of the new E-Class.

LOGIC 7 technology creates perfect surround-sound playback with surround-coded recordings. Even with conventional stereo recordings, the LOGIC 7 technology ensures outstanding surround quality by converting and transmitting the incoming stereo signal through seven output channels and one sub-woofer channel.

All the sound system's amplifier channels are equipped with frequency compensation, adjusted according to the vehicle's acoustics. Bass, treble, volume, balance and fader can all be adjusted individually.


So is that the same sound system but the E-2 package has the sun roof?

Thanks for the help

The LOGIC7 does not and has not played and Surround-coded cd's (DTS,DD) all it does it converts a stearo signal in 7:1 surround.

How, I don't know and I really don't think it is surround. Does not sound nearly as good as my home surround system that does play DTS cd's

I tend to agree about not being true surround sound. The surround sound systems in the Acura cars are phenominal. When Mercedes gets around to improving their nav, they may want to take a look at these LOGIC7's also. They're not what they should be.

The COMMAND unit works perfectly with HK Prologic 7. Not important, but what is your native language?
