February 22, 2019 -- Audison is pleased to debut an exciting array of new products at Knowledgefest in Long Beach and Indianapolis.
Last year Audison introduced the very popular BMW Sound Pack. This year the all new F-150 Sound Pack is available for both the base model systems as well as the Sony systems. These Sound Packs will use the Prima AP5.9bit or the AP8.9bit for amplification. The replacement front speakers will be the all new APK690 or APK570, 6x9 and 5x7 component kits. The replacement rear speakers will employ the APX6.5 or the APX570. The subwoofer enclosures will either be the APBX8R or the APBX10AS, amplified enclosure depending on the vehicle and system. These Sound Packs will include the wire harnesses and speaker adaptors included in the kits. The all new Ford F150 system configurator will be added to the Audison website next week.
The range of Prima components expands with the introduction of the new 2” wide range component speaker AP2. This speaker has an ultra-wide frequency response ranging from 150 Hz to 20kHz.
Our dealers have asked for 5x7 and 6x9 component kits. We have delivered. The all new APK570 and APK690 are here. These kits will use dedicated crossovers with each kit and will include the AP1 tweeter. As always, our Prima speakers are very efficient with a sensitivity of 93 dB for the tweeter and 93.5 dB for the woofer. The woofers will also be sold separately.
Prima’s compact subwoofer family expands with the introduction of the new 10” APS10 S4S single 4-ohm VC. To compliment this new woofer the APBX10 S4S compact enclosure will also debut.
Last, but definitely not least is the new Thesis TH 6.5II SAX, 6.5” woofer. This speaker was born from a blank sheet with the aim of overcoming all the limits dictated by compromise-oriented design choices. This philosophy allowed us to obtain extreme performance and a design projected into the future, faithful to the inspiring principle of maximum transparency of the musical message.

Orlando, FL (June 12, 2022) - Audison announced the Forza family of amplifiers - the culmination of years of research and development into DSP use in vehicles. Using our “All Channels Driven” design approach, and our “Fully Bridgeable” philosophy, these amplifiers give Audison dealers more tools to exceed their customer’s expectations.
Forza is a family of 9 amplifiers - 5 “bit” DSP amplifiers with system control capability - and four “companion” amplifiers which can be managed by the DSP section of the bit amplifiers.
The first model is the bit 5-channel AF M5.11 bit - the most powerful 5-channel DSP amplifier Audison has ever made. 100 watts to four channels (4Ω) plus 600 watts to the subwoofers (2Ω), over 1200 watts of RMS power available All Channels Driven, and with the most flexible DSP section Audison has offered.
“Dealers use DSPs for three things - OEM integration, system management, and acoustic tuning”, said Ken Ward, International Technical Marketing Manager for Elettromedia Sri, parent company of Audison. “We have made significant improvements to each functional area, so that our dealer technicians can overcome challenges more quickly and efficiently than ever. We kept the same approximate form factor as our previous line of DSP amps, which were very popular sizes our dealers preferred.”
The amplifiers are configured with a new software application, Audison bit Drive. “We’ve done training sessions here at Knowlegefest, and our new bit Drive software has been a huge hit with dealers!”, said Ward.
The Forza bit line will consist of five bit models and four companion models:
AF M5.11 bit will ship initially.
The AF C8.9 bit and the M12.14 bit will ship later this year.
The four companion amps - the M6 D, the M4 D, the C4 D, and the M1 D - will also ship later this year.
The last two bit models - the C4.10 bit and the M8.14 bit - will round out the product line.
“The bit Drive software is immediately familiar to Audison dealers, but has a modern design and advanced tools”, said Ward. “This is the software which is going to control our future products - it’s designed to be future-proof.”
Audison Forza amplifiers boast more power than ever, with the audiophile sound of the latest-generation Audison D-Class technology. This is combined with native DSP working at 24 bit/96 kHz, extending the audio band up to 40 kHz and earning the coveted High Resolution certification.
Fully Bridgeable: Bridging amplifier channels to more than double the power is a time-honored technique which Audison includes in every Forza multichannel amplifier. Fully Bridgeable means that every channel pair can be bridged, without exclusion, letting Audison dealers design and build exactly the system you’re looking for!
Dual Power Design is a new design element - Forza amplifiers have two independent power supplies: the audio amplifier power supply is loosely regulated, which allows superior dynamic performance at this price point The DSP power supply is stiffly regulated, which maintains DSP microprocessor operation even during lower-voltage transient states (i.e., start/stop operation).
High Res Certified - SPDIF digital wasn’t designed to control volume levels, and many implementations compromise the potential dynamic range. Absolute Volume maximizes the SPDIF bit depth, delivering uncompromised dynamic range from compatible digital sources like Audison B-CON.
Audison’s completely-new bit Drive PC software can analyze, route, and correct the signal in completely new ways – now you can measure, mix, and finally tune the sound with one powerful tool! The new Graphical User Interface simplifies every control and function, integrating acoustic measurement, and ensuring efficient tuning and great sound!
The Acoustic RTA is integrated into the equalizer graph, and is compatible with your 16-bit USB microphone or sound card. The Final EQ function allows final equalization without damaging the delicate left/right frequency relationships.
Forza’s eight analog inputs, plus an optical Toslink digital input, support total connectivity even with the most complex OEM systems. If more analog inputs are required, the optional F4IN expansion card adds four additional analog input channels!
If a Coaxial SPDIF or a second Toslink SPDIF input is needed, the optional F2O expansion card can be used.
Up to 14 DSP outputs allows Forza’s DSP section to manage a larger system easily.
Audison’s classic de-EQ process is joined by de-Time and de-Phase capabilities, enabling sound restoration in nearly every OEM system., The electrical signal analysis ensures proper integration and correction for each input and output channel.
The built-in universal speaker simulation technology (USS) yields maximum compatibility with any OEM Source, without muting or instability.

Las Vegas, NV (Jan 31th, 2025) - Audisonis introducing the all-new Voce II line of automotive reference speakers.
“With Voce II, the second generation of our iconic Voce speakers, we challenged ourselves—rethinking how we design, test, and manufacture speakers. We’ve revamped materials, supply chains, assembly techniques, and packaging. Our goal was to “unlearn” to innovate and to “reinforce our expertise” where we knew we were on the right track. This dedication ensures that every aspect of Voce II not only meets but exceeds the sophisticated demands of today’s car audio enthusiasts,” said Luca Girotti, Technical Director for Audison.
Hi-Res Audio certification, a new standard
“Achieving Hi-Res Audio certification with a soft dome tweeter was a true challenge. Many tweeters achieve certification using rigid dome materials, making reaching the required high-frequency performance easier. We aimed to create a soft dome tweeter capable of extending its frequency response up to 40kHz—and we succeeded! This certification applies to all tweeters, two-way systems, and coaxial models in the VOCE II range, confirming the exceptional precision and detail in audio reproduction. Hi-Res enthusiasts can enjoy an immersive sound experience that captures every nuance, delivering an authentic and engaging performance.” said Luca Girotti, Technical Director for Audison.
VOCE II, an extended lineup for superior sound
The VOCE II line consists of a complete range of high-performance components and system components, designed to ensure maximum flexibility in installation and top-tier sound quality.
VOCE II born from Audison Thesis excellence
Every component of the VOCE II line has been developed with the same meticulous methodology that made Thesis world famous, using advanced acoustic simulation software and a rigorous phase of comparative listening tests, both in the lab and in cars. This refinement process ensures that VOCE II delivers uncompromising audio performance, while remaining practical and versatile for high-end car audio enthusiasts.
“We are thrilled to be one of the first countries for this product launch”, said Rob Wempe, VP Sales for Elettromedia USA. “We are doing additional trainings, we have a great-sounding demo car, and these Voce II speakers are playing a big role for our dealer’s business this year.

APBX 10 AS -- Active Sub Box
June 29, 2018 -- The Prima APBX 10 AS active subwoofer, with 10-inch driver, features a dedicated high performance amplification module which enhances all the passive box technologies, such as the2S² (2 Sides / 2 Sounds) design, the plug-and-play terminal block and ultra-compact size.
The amplification module, with power outputs of 400W RMS is developed withhe-li technology (high efficiency / low impedance), which thanks to the absence of the DC-DC voltage booster reaches the impressive 90 percent efficiency level, very close to the theoretical limit of the D-Class. Eliminating the voltage booster was made possible thanks to the development of the new dual coil drivers, which inherit all the technological background of the Prima subwoofers, but differ for the ultra low impedance (0.16 ohms for APBX 10 AS).
This feature ensures a perfect synergy with the he-li (High Efficiency Low Impedance) technology, maximizing the combination of amplifier, speakers and sealed box, to obtain low, powerful and crisp frequencies.
The controls section is complete and provides an optimal regulation of the low frequency emission in the car cabin. The Butterworth low pass filter at 12dB/Oct. with variable cut-off frequency (50-200 Hz) can be bypassed, when used with an AP bit processor with pre-out output dedicated to the sub. The adjustable bass-boost control (0 ÷ 6 dB) at 45 Hz allows the user to emphasize the response in the lower side of the spectrum.
The high-level speaker-in input on multi-pole connectoreases the integration with OEM audio systems while the low-level input on RCA is dedicated to the connection with after market sources. The subwoofer automatic turn on/off function ART (Automatic Remote Turn-On) can be configured to be controlled by the source’s remote signal, by the voltage variation on the high-level input or by the audio signal on both inputs. Phase control (0 – 180 °) completes the equipment. The SSP (Sub Smart Plug) terminal block is provided with a single plug-and-play connector to be able to disconnect the box easily and safely.
The APBX10AS comes in at a very thin 5.16” and will fit under the rear seat of a full size pickup like the Ford F150, etc.

January 15, 2020 -- The Audison design team, headquartered in the Potenza Picena (Italy), spent a long time planning and perfecting the new SR line. After numerous listening tests in a double-blind configuration on a significant sample of professionals and enthusiasts, the R&D team decided to adopt a new D-class technology called ADT (Audison D-Class Technology) for the entire SR amplifier line. This technology made it possible to reduce the size of the amplifiers while totally preserving the audio performance that characterize each Audison project.
The New SR Line consists of these four models:
- SR 4.300 MAP $ 399.99 85w x 4 @ 4ohms
- SR 4.500 MAP $ 499.99 130w x 4 @ 4ohms
- SR 5.600 MAP $ 549.99 75w x 4 @ 4ohms, and 550w x 1 @ 1 ohm
- SR 1.500 MAP $ 399.99 500w x 1 @ 4ohms, 800w x 1 @ 2ohms, 1000w x 1 @ 1 ohm
- Optional VCR-S1 Remote Volume Control for both models.
Some New Features include:
Built in USS (Universal Speaker Simulator)
When using the high-level inputs, the SR amplifiers can also be appropriately connected to OEM sources featuring the “speaker load detection” function that monitor the presence of a low-impedance load to enable audio outputs.
Complete Controls on Top Panel
As per tradition, the SR amplifiers confirm their vocation for versatility by including on all models a complete filter section, suitable for any type of audio system configuration. The controls, protected by a satin-finish aluminum panel, are located on the amplifier upper panel, to be easily reached from above even after the product has been installed. When the system includes an Audison bit processor, the filter section can be totally excluded.
Limitless Connectivity
All models are equipped with high-level balanced inputs for connection to the OEM Head Unit speakers output and low RCA level for the after-market ones. When the high level input is used, the ART function (Automatic Remote Turn-On / Off) can be enabled to control the switching on of the amplifiers with the head unit switch-on button. In addition, there is a remote IN / OUT socket to allow the control of multiple cascaded amplifiers switch on when required.
The SR 1.500, SR 4.300 and 4.500 models recreate the PRE-OUT signal by using the Speaker-IN input to interface it with OEM sources only equipped with amplified outputs, allowing the system expansion.
Built in Crossovers
Lo-Pass and Hi-Pass 12 dB adjustable (50 Hz to 3200 Hz) filters, providing the ability to build a front + rear system, a multichannel – woofer + tweeter system or a powerful sub + front system.

January 26, 2020 -- The new Prima APK 165P two-way loudspeaker system, capable of handling up to 240 W peak, is the ideal combination to fully exploit the power of the AP F8.9 bit or all other Prima amplifiers used in high power configurations.
The exclusive AIF technology (Any Install Faceplate) of the AP 1P Tweeter provides the installer with 3 different faceplates for total application versatility and a significant reduction in installation time. The woofer has been designed to perform at its best in OEM placements, combining excellent power handling and efficiency.
AP 6.5P Woofer
The AP 6.5P woofer features a very wide excursion to cope with the most important dynamic peaks without any compression. Its impressive magnetic assembly provides the energy needed for perfect control even during limit excursions. The CCAW (Copper-Clad Aluminium Wire) voice coil (32 x 14 mm, 1.25 x 0.55 in) optimally manages the greater applied power. The basket was completely redesigned with the aid of simulations to lower the resistance of air flows, while maintaining compact sizes to facilitate the installation.
APCX P 2T, APCX P 2W Crossovers
To minimize the overall dimensions and simplify the cables routing, thus facilitating the installer’s work, the APK 165P system uses separate ultra-compact crossovers for tweeters and woofers, made with carefully selected and sized components to manage high power avoiding saturation phenomena. The listening sessions for the crossover set-up made the choice fall on an asymmetric filtering, with a 6 dB/oct slope on the tweeter’s hi-pass and 12 dB/oct for the woofer’s lo-pass, for a natural reproduction of mid-high frequencies and well-defined low frequencies.
AP 1P Tweeter
AIF technology, to support OEM integration, provides the specialist with three different types of faceplates:
1. OEM, for an easy and correct factory placement
2. Mesh grille: to obtain the best compromise between protection and performance with a-pillar installations
3. Spoke grille: for maximum acoustic performance with a-pillar installations
The double Neodymium tablet used in the motor provides an excellent extension in high frequency and together with the one-inch CCAW voice coil ensures an outstanding dynamic response.
