Nakamichi NQ523B is an advanced 1 DIN car radio from Nakamichi with rich equipment and a number of interesting functions. Take your USB drive and plug it into the USB port to quickly listen to your favorite songs. Alternatively, you can choose to connect your phone to the car stereo via AUX-IN or stream songs using the built-in Bluetooth function. Bluetooth also allows hands-free calls to be made and received through the receiver itself, rather than having to shift attention to the phone. The car radio does not have a CD drive, but a front USB input. The car radio has 2 pairs of RCA outputs + 1 for a subwoofer, which you can use when connecting an amplifier. An interesting feature for the given price is the very advanced sound settings thanks to the integrated DSP processor, including time corrections and a 40-band equalizer. The ability to play Hi-res audio will also please you. Compared to the NQ523BD model, this car radio has a removable panel, front and rear USB input and 4V amplifier outputs.

About the Nakamichi brand

The history of the Nakamichi brand dates back to 1948, when it was founded in Japan by Etsuro Nakamichi. The journey to fulfilling his dreams began with the establishment of a small research institute, Nakamichi Research Corporation, in Tokyo, Japan, providing sonar and magnet research and development for major brands, government entities, universities and organizations. Since then, it has established itself as a trusted creator of high-quality products that are the result of intensive scientific work, a passion for sound and a commitment to uncompromising quality and performance. In 1972, Takeshi Nakamichi joined Nakamichi Corporation, who was associated with the company's boom at the time and was deeply involved in all of Nakamichi's legendary audio products sold in Asia, America and Europe, including the first launch of the Nakamichi 1000, the world's first cassette tape recorder. He was regarded as one of the world's best acoustic and sound engineers, who was able to combine high-end sound with the genius audio product design strengths of Mr. Koza Kobayashi, the brand's chief engineer at the time. Amplifiers, players, and even car radios of that time are now among the legends for their unsurpassed quality. However, the Nakamichi brand is still successful today and produces high-quality products not only in the field of home audio, but also in vehicles. The ingeniously thought-out portfolio of the manufacturer is constantly growing, and practically all products stand out for their high-quality sound and incredible processing in the given price category. The legacy of Etsuro Nakamichi lives on and we are glad that it is not only a sound name, but also reflected in the quality of Nakamichi products.

1 DIN
Car radio performanceThe performance of the car radio shown in maximum values. This is therefore the MAX value. The performance of the internal amplifier of the car radio. Today, the RMS power of a car radio ranges from 17 - 30 W RMS per channel. 4 x 50W
USB inputThe USB input of the car radio is used to connect a USB flash drive or smartphone. Today, playing music via USB is the most popular way to listen to music in the car. The USB input can be front (on the front panel of the car radio) or rear (on the back of the cable). Yes, front and back

Integrated BluetoothBluetooth is a communication technology used for wireless connection between two or more electronic devices. A mobile phone, for example, can be connected to a car radio with built-in Bluetooth. Most car radios for 2017 and later can also wirelessly stream (play) music via Bluetooth -> A2DP function. Yes
Audio Streaming via BluetoothA2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) is a Bluetooth profile that enables the wireless transmission of stereo audio from an A2DP source, typically a mobile phone or computer, to an A2DP receiver (car radio). These devices usually also support the AVRCP profile. Yes
External microphone included in the packageThe external microphone is connected from the back of the car radio to the input marked "MIC". For ideal sound quality during a phone call, we recommend placing the external microphone on the left "A" pillar at the point where the "A" pillar and the roof panel connect to each other. A very good position to place an external microphone is also near the central rear-view mirror. No
Number of RCA outputsRCA outputs , colloquially called "cinches", are used to connect an external amplifier or active subwoofer. Aftermarket car radios are usually equipped with 1 to 3 pairs of RCA outputs. FRONT, REAR and SUB are used.

It also depends on how many volt outputs the car radio is equipped with. More basic models of car radios have 2V outputs, more expensive units have 4V and more. The higher the specified value, the less power demands are placed on the external amplifier and the sound quality increases.
3 pairs
Output level on RCAAn important parameter if you are going to install an external amplifier. If you purchase a car radio with a basic value, i.e. 2V outputs, then greater demands will be placed on the power of the amplifier. As the value increases, e.g. 4V or 5V, the power of the external amplifier increases significantly, in layman's terms.

A car radio with strong outputs therefore has the advantage that you do not pull so much power through the amplifier and thus achieve a better sound, as external amplifiers lose control at higher loads.
4 V
