Pioneer Reference Series DEX-P9R - Manual (Page 7)

DMITRY MATVEEV’S MINI COOPER
Only the best would do for this stylish little demo number — from installation to
equipment, even to the car body paint job. And all of this was in the hands of Dmitry
Matveev and the AM-Style Company. Matveev was the 2000 Europe Sound Contest
champion in the professional class. When designing the sound system, he chose
the hallmark DEX-P9R CD tuner, connected via an optical cable to the DEQ-P9 digital
preamp/equaliser. Next step was adding TS-T3PRS tweeters and a TS-C1300R
speaker system in the dashboard, TS-M7PRS mid-bass drivers in the doors, and
topped it off with a TS-W12PRS subwoofer in the passenger compartment. PRS
series amplifiers installed in the side walls complete the look, matching the chrome
steel cover plates. The entire system is perfectly integrated to complement the hip looks of the new Mini. No wonder it was a star at the MIMS 2002 Exposition
in Moscow, and was lauded with a diploma from the Russian Designers Union.
