The G-Class W465 features an advanced audio system tailored to deliver a premium sound experience, whether driving through the city, cruising on highways, or off-roading. The W465 G-Class offers different speaker and audio system configurations depending on the model year and trim level. Below is an overview of the audio system and speakers available in the G-Class W465:

1. Standard Audio System

The entry-level or standard audio system in the G-Class W465 includes a set of basic speakers that are still designed to provide good sound quality, but with fewer customization options compared to the premium systems available in higher trims.

• Number of Speakers: Typically, the base system includes 8 speakers positioned throughout the cabin.
• Sound Output: The system delivers clear sound but lacks the advanced bass and treble controls that the upgraded systems provide.
• Amplifier: The standard setup typically includes a basic amplifier that powers the speakers.

2. Upgraded Audio System – Burmester® Sound System

Mercedes-Benz offers the premium Burmester® High-End 3D Surround Sound System as an optional upgrade or standard on higher trims (such as the AMG G 63). This system is engineered to provide exceptional sound quality and a truly immersive listening experience.

Key Features of the Burmester® Sound System:

• Speakers: The Burmester® system typically features 15 speakers, including strategically placed speakers in the doors, dash, rear, and sometimes headliner for superior sound distribution.
• Surround Sound: The system provides a 3D surround sound experience, ensuring that the sound reaches every passenger in the cabin with clarity and depth.
• Subwoofer: The Burmester® system includes a powerful subwoofer to deliver deep bass, creating a richer and more dynamic audio experience.
• Amplification: The system is equipped with a high-performance amplifier, which powers the speakers with sufficient wattage to deliver distortion-free sound, even at high volumes.
• Sound Customization: The MBUX infotainment system allows for fine-tuning of the sound settings, including bass, treble, and balance, ensuring that the sound is tailored to the driver’s preferences.

Speaker Placement:

• Front Door Speakers: The Burmester system includes speakers in the front doors, delivering a full-range sound experience.
• Dashboard Speakers: Tweeters and mid-range speakers in the dashboard help to create precise, clear treble and higher frequencies.
• Rear Speakers: Additional speakers are placed in the rear of the cabin, ensuring a balanced sound across all seating positions.
• Subwoofers: A subwoofer or multiple bass speakers are typically placed in the trunk area to enhance low-frequency sound reproduction.

3. 3D Sound Technology

The Burmester® system is known for its use of 3D sound technology, which provides a spatial sound experience. This advanced technology ensures that the sound envelops the listener from every direction, creating the feeling of a concert hall or high-end audio studio.

• Positioning: With the 3D technology, the sound field is enhanced to provide a three-dimensional auditory experience. The music or audio is designed to appear as if it is coming from multiple directions, creating a more natural and immersive listening environment.
• Surround Sound Settings: The system uses specialized algorithms to simulate a surround sound experience, allowing the listener to experience both direct and reflected sound sources.

4. Audio Control and Customization

The MBUX infotainment system in the G-Class W465 allows for detailed control over the audio system. With the MBUX system, you can adjust the audio settings to your personal preference.

• Sound Profiles: The system can store multiple sound profiles for different types of music (e.g., rock, classical, pop) or driving conditions.
• Volume Control: The volume and balance can be fine-tuned for each seat in the vehicle, allowing the front and rear passengers to enjoy their own customized sound experience.
• Equalizer: An equalizer feature is included, enabling drivers to adjust frequencies such as bass, midrange, and treble for optimal sound performance.

5. Additional Features
