Small Xpeng G9 5D Xopera Music Cockpit Q&A
Since the launch of the Xpeng G9 and the start of its exhibition tour, many users have visited the Xpeng store and experienced the 5D Xopera Music Cockpit, and there have been heated discussions on various channels. While some users have recognized and appreciated the 5D Music Cockpit, others have raised questions.
Today, the small Xpeng official has answered some of the hotly discussed issues related to the Xpeng 5D Xopera Music Cockpit experience.
Q&A:
Question 1: Why does the sound I heard in the store not sound as good as what others say?
Answer:
The quality of sound is subjective. We have included personalized sound effect adjustment options in the system to cater to different audio preferences. Before evaluating the audio effect, adjust the sound effect adjustment options to the parameters suitable for your hearing. Other Xpeng friends may have personalized adjustments before your experience.
Here are some recommended parameters:
Recommendation 1: Sound feature-Excitement, sound field adjustment-Front row, space sound effect-off;
This set of parameters was jointly developed by Xpeng audio experts, Dan Ni audio experts, and Mr. Jin Shaogang, the chief audio engineer of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and Mr. Yang Zhen, the professor of Xinghai Music Hall. This set of parameters has achieved a balance between popular music and large-scale symphony orchestra, and we believe that this set of parameters meets the taste of most Chinese consumers.
Recommendation 2: Sound feature-Natural sound, sound field adjustment-Total car, space sound effect-off;
This set of parameters completely restores the understanding of sound by the Dan Ni brand and is recommended for Friends of Xpeng who pursuit the original taste of Danish Dan Ni sound.
Recommendation 3: Sound feature-Customized, sound field adjustment-Front row, space sound effect-Customized;
We have opened up easy-to-use personalized options for audiophiles who have extreme pursuit of music. Customized sound features can make precise adjustments to the sound of several main frequency bands. Customized sound field adjustment and spatial sound effects can freely adjust the horizontal and vertical positions of the sound field.
Question 2: Audiophiles say that good audio sources are needed to reflect the quality of this audio system, where can I find good audio sources?
Answer:
The G9 is the first batch of cars in the industry that can play Dolby panoramic sound sources. The actual sound sources we heard were Dolby panoramic sound sources and traditional stereo sound sources.
Dolby panoramic sound source:
The “Xpeng Music Hall” APP on the car’s large screen brings together the most comprehensive Dolby panoramic sound sources in the industry, including Xpeng’s own scene music, Netease Cloud Music, iQiyi, Bilibili platform Dolby panoramic sound sources, and the unique “beautiful voice” sound source in the exhibition car. These sound sources themselves are high-quality Dolby panoramic sound content, and Xpeng friends can directly play them to experience a immersive surrounding feel.#### 3D Sound Source:
The car’s large screen comes with two music platforms, Netease Cloud Music and QQ Music. When playing music, we recommend selecting SQ or lossless quality sound sources.
At the same time, we have optimized the sound performance of Bluetooth connection and U disk playback when tuning. High-quality sound sources stored on mobile phones or U disks can also be replayed well in Xopera.
Question 3: Is the 5D experience just a gimmick?
Answer:
We planned and developed the product based on the concept of “all-scenario 5D” at the beginning of the design process. Currently, we have achieved 5D experience in entertainment scenes such as listening to music, watching movies, and meditation.
Listening to Music + Seat Movement:
Seat movement can follow the rhythm of the music in all music scenes. We are delighted to see that users who like DJ, rock, and pop music express their love for this function. At the same time, we also see some users who like to quietly appreciate the details of music questioning this function. We hope that in boring driving scenarios where you need music to adjust your mood, you can try the pleasure of music directly hitting your body. We will also gradually collect feedback to optimize the vibration frequency and intensity.
5D Cinema + 5D Meditation:
We can tell you responsibly that we have prepared more innovative content in partnership with our partners, which will be gradually released to our customers in later operations. We believe that the experience brought by new energy era cars is more dimensional, surprising, and ceremonial. We believe that everyone will like these innovative “little surprises.”
5D experience in More Scenarios:
We have been planning to bring users a better driving experience through the software and hardware linkage of 5D in more scenarios. The current “5D” can be seen as hardware and technology embedded in advance, so please stay tuned for more.
Question 4: I have experienced G9 audio several times, and every time I go to listen, there is improvement compared to the last time. Is the tuning still being continuously optimized?
Answer:
We are indeed continuously optimizing the tuning and quickly pushing new updates to the exhibition cars through software OTA updates for users to experience.
For example, in early October, users feedback that the sound was blurred under Dolby panoramic music, we have optimized the balance under decoding Dolby panoramic sound and will push it to the exhibition cars soon.
Through agile collection of user feedback, program analysis, and OTA verification, we quickly optimize the Xopera experience in all aspects, striving to reach the optimal state when the vehicle is delivered to the user’s hands.
In conclusion
For those of us who have experienced the Xpeng G9 Xopera 5D Music Cockpit and the sound systems of flagship electric vehicles from various new players this year, and who also happen to be Xpeng P7 owners, it’s worth mentioning that the Denon sound system in the Xpeng G9 is the most impressive aspect of the car’s static features.
Even just looking at the hardware, 28 acoustic units, a maximum power of 2,250W, 7.1.4 channels, and support for Dolby panoramic sound, this system is not only comparable to, but even surpasses, the sound hardware of luxury cars with price tags in the millions.
In terms of my personal subjective listening experience, Xopera 5D Music Cockpit’s sound quality is on par with the ideal L9, and superior to the 1,000W sound system on the NIO ES7/ET7. What sets Xpeng apart is the integration of seat vibration, air conditioning, and fragrance, which of course requires source support to function. We hope to see more source support in the future.
As someone who prefers a tuning style with low bass, the Denon sound system that was optional for the early P7 already met my needs to some extent, but the 18,000 yuan optional price tag made me hesitant.
Now that the G9 has reconfigured its prices and made this sound system standard on the Pro and Max versions, as a P7 owner, I’m left only with envy. In my opinion, this is a sound system worth 18,000 yuan, and I hope to see this 5D Music Cockpit in the redesigned version of the P7.
