GLADEN SoundUp concepts are specially designed for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. These concepts aim to improve the standard audio system's sound quality in a targeted and comprehensible manner without altering the vehicle's structure or original wiring harness.

All SoundUp Mercedes sets are based on vehicle-specific components, including speaker systems, digital signal processor (DSP) amplifiers, plug-and-play cable sets, and insulation material to stabilize installation locations. The integration is plug-and-play and can be reversed at any time. It is also designed for the respective Mercedes vehicle platform.

Depending on the vehicle and the desired sound level, different SoundUp upgrade levels are available, ranging from front upgrades to comprehensive system solutions. This allows each SoundUp Mercedes set to be precisely adapted to the vehicle's technical conditions and the owner's individual requirements.

This clear naming logic allows each SoundUp Mercedes set to be assigned correctly. It simplifies the selection process, prevents incorrect combinations, and ensures the selected system fits the vehicle's platform and equipment exactly.
