Nissan Middle East announced the launch of a premium “Klipsch” audio system for Patrol cars in the region, in specific categories including “Patrol V6T Platinum,” “Patrol PRO-4X,” and “Patrol Nismo,” according to a press release issued.
According to the statement, the “Klipsch” system consists of 12 speakers designed specifically for the Patrol, with the aim of providing excellent sound distribution inside the cabin for all passengers, whether in the front or rear seats, while driving in the city or on off-road roads.
System components and capabilities
Nissan explained that the system was developed in cooperation with Panasonic Automotive, and relies on a 12-channel amplifier with a power of 600 watts. She added that the design of the system aims to achieve a balance in sound distribution within the spacious cabin of the Patrol.
The company indicated that Klipsch and Panasonic engineers tuned the system to provide a wide range of audio frequencies, from high to low tones. The system includes one-inch titanium tweeters, mid-range amplifiers and a dedicated subwoofer.
In-cabin acoustic calibration
The system includes “advanced audio calibration” that adjusts sound balance in real-time according to ambient conditions, to maintain consistent clarity and depth during use, the statement said.

The launch of the Klipsch premium sound system embodies this trend, as it adds a new level of clarity and integration with the surroundings of the Patrol cabin, making sound an element An essential addition to the pleasure of driving the Nissan Patrol.”
