LION REMOTE APP
MP532 - RDS Data

While you can access and adjust virtually all audio parameters through LiON’s multi-tab GUI, you don’t have to. Rather than wade through multiple screens (example: AGC/COMP menu shown above) our LiON Remote App lets you concentrate on what you hear, not what you see. The app makes the tough, behind-the-scenes decisions based on our simple-to-use controls supplied for TEXTURE (Drive, Density, Loudness) and EQ (Low, Warmth, High). It’s as if we send a processing expert with each box!
