Previously, we’ve shared our first impressions of the 10-speaker B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen and why we think it’s worth the upgrade in your Bronco. But audio is highly personal –– as is the decision to move up to the Lux package. Since Bronco Nation exists to make owning a Bronco easier and more enjoyable, we sought out additional information and opinions to help support you in your choice.

Beginning tonight, join us for a two-part video series led by professional car reviewer, audio expert, and Bronco owner Micah Muzio. He speaks with HARMAN International senior mechanical integration engineer Kyle Gutowski and senior engineer of acoustics Alec DeLeon, both deeply involved in the crafting of the Bronco’s upgraded system. Kyle helped take the B&O project from early talks of inclusion all the way up to the SUV’s development, and Alec helped Ford overcome the challenges of tuning in the Bronco.

Video 1: Iconic Design

In our first video, hear of the system being made fresh for Bronco –– and how the B&O sound system is designed to take on all the elements of an off-roading vehicle and come out on top. Learn more about the speaker placements and why they matter for your experience. Plus, discover why you can play your music louder and with less distortion. After watching, you’ll walk away understanding what you gain from the B&O system vs. the base six-speaker audio of the Standard and Mid package.

Video 2: Premium Sound Quality for All Seats, Expertly Tuned for Every Drive

We follow up in part 2 with a dive into the immersive experience gained from the additional four speakers. Watch as Alec covers how to use the system as an owner and tune it to your liking, as well as go over its support of lossless audio. Additionally, Kyle shows off the reference room, where trained listeners start when benchmarking a vehicle –– it’s not just the quality of the hardware that makes the B&O system an upgrade, but also the expertise of the tuning that comes with it. Last, take in Micah experiencing the B&O sound system in a 2021 Bronco for the first time ever … and what he thinks of it.

Together, the on-screen team covers the specialness of the Bronco project: taking a highly configurable vehicle and getting excellent sound in it. Enjoy learning more about the premium sound system in this two-part video series!
