The Gap Between Branded Car Audio Products And Non-brand Ones Broadened

March 2, 2011 - PRLog -- The Gap Between Branded Car Audio Products and Non-brand Ones Broadened according to a famous car audio distributor's detailed review lately. He used to sell many cheap non-brand units before, but now he has turns to branded units with affordable price like Eonon, JVC, etc. Why?

For one thing, with 5 years of experiences in car audio business he found the margin of branded units is much higher than non-brand units. "It's the power of brands. In the modern market, without brands, without long-term success." He said frankly..

For another, he come to know the real truth behind branded unit and non-brand unit, the gap between them has been broadened through his detailed comparison. Since he's a technology geek, he had detached and compared between an Eonon D1001 1 Din unit and a non-brand units which are both sold in his store.

External Design
1. Appearance
Looking from a distance, there is no notable difference between them. They're both standard 1 Din units with a LCD screen. The streamline buttons, making Eonon look more fashionable and elegant.

2. Operation Panel
- Buttons
Eonon:
From the product design period, they started to consider how to make a prefect combination of both appearance and operation convenience.
Eonon uses high accuracy mould which makes every gap of the unit hardly to see.
The streamline design together with the metal decoration will make a top visual and tactile enjoyment.

Non-brand item:
The buttons are display at random both in size and position which make it not so friendly to use. And the mould design is a bit rough, the gap is very large.

-USB & SD Card Slot
Flash disks & SD card are widely use nowadays.
Eonon unit has a special cover to protect the USB port, since if it’s exposed for too long time, it will be filled with lots of dusts, and will lead to uselessness.
Furthermore, you don’t have to worry about the cover will get lost, since it’s connected together with the main board.
They put the SD card slot behind the panel to protest against the dust. Much considerate.

Non-brand unit:
USB port and SD card slot are both located in front of the panel. Not so neat looking and will easily get polluted.

-LCD Screen effect:
Let’s introduce how the LCD screen works firstly. LCD can not give light itself, but it depends on the LED back light to illuminate LCD screen, and the colors are designed in advance. This contrast design of the illumination point will largely affect the whole LCD screen display effect. If it’s not well designed, there will be shadows around the characters or images.

Eonon:
They use super professional design technology, you can read any content on the screen clearly.

Non-brand unit:
You can see the shadows throughout the screen, not so clear.

3. Input&Output

For those who are fond of DIY, please pay special attention to the interface of the unit. Since it plays an important part in the installation process.
Eonon:
Eonon unit uses standard ISO port, so you can install it at ease. In addition, D1001 has special Built-In 5.1CH Audio Output. Buyers can enjoy the  top level 5.1CH Surround stereo with amazement.  

Non-brand unit:
It doesn’t use the standard ISO port, which will bring much more difficulty to your installation, further, you need to cut the original wiring in your car, don’t you feel a bit pity? Traditional 4CH output only make a 3 star enjoyment.

4.  Electronic component:
-Audio processing component
Eonon:
Eonon D1001 is famous for its high quality Hi-Fi effect. They use TDA7415 audio processing chip, here’s typical parameters of TDA7415:
SNS rate(Signal to Noise Ratio): 110 dB
Total Harmonic Distortion: ≤ 0.05 percentage.
Input Separation:100dB
Output Noise:15uV
As DAC, all of them are standing for a top-level car audio system.

Non-brand unit:
Without Hi-fi effect. here’s the typical parameters:
SNS rate (Signal to Noise Ratio): 89 dB
Total Harmonic Distortion: ≤.0.3 percentage.
Input Separation:80dB
Output Noise:100uV

As you can see, it can’t compare to Eonon unit.
-DVD decoder
Eonon:
The D1001 SUNRLUS 8202D decoder has passed the LSCD License from Philips Company, supports various of languages.

Non-brand unit:
Except the low performance DAC, there’s no DAC chip.That’s why even if you bought the almost the same unit but without the same performance.

-Optical head
Eonon:
Eonon DVD uses Sharp HPD-61 professional optical head to read disks.
Operating Temperature Range:-40 to 85℃

Non-brand unit:
Also, this is a non-brand optical head.
Operating Temperature Range:-10 to 70℃

You see the big distinction. You can’t enjoy your in car entertainment in both too hot to too cold weather.

So now you know the big gap between branded unit and a non-branded unit, this is just an example. That's why more and more people trust in brands even with higher cost.
