When replacing speakers at the factory, inexpensive plastic adapter rings are usually used for the vehicle-specific installation openings. These often thin-walled adapters are not particularly stable and, due to a lack of mass, do not offer high-quality speakers the necessary support and stability so that they can work properly. Another unpleasant side effect is the sound permeability and the “vibration” of the plastic ring and the resulting loss of sound. Adapters milled from MDF are better, but they can swell after a while because the MDF wood in the vehicle doors is sometimes exposed to high humidity and cold. In the end, they no longer provide the speakers with optimal support. However, if you are looking for the perfect adaptation for your new high-end speakers, you will now find it at MUSWAY.
The MUSWAY adapter rings impress with their high quality when unpacked, because the heavy weight of the installation rings made of solid aluminum feels extremely comfortable and heavy in the hand. There is a foam ring glued all around on the underside, which provides an optimal seal between the adapter ring and the vehicle panel. Ingenious: Solid brass nuts were incorporated into the aluminum adapter ring under the seal. These provide the supplied M4 threaded screws with perfect support for the loudspeaker to be mounted. If you combine the MSR adapter rings with the MSB165 silicone sleeves, ideal “working conditions” are created for the speakers. Nothing stands in the way of audiophile sound enjoyment.
Thanks to the use of high-quality aluminum, the MSR adapter rings are also well protected against corrosion and, thanks to their robust construction, retain their shape even in damp and cold conditions and therefore also offer good protection for the embedded speakers.

will now find what you are looking for at MUSWAY.
AN IDEAL CONNECTION
The new MUSWAY adapter rings impress with their high quality when unpacked, because the heavy weight of the installation rings made of solid aluminum feels extremely comfortable and heavy in the hand. There is a foam ring glued all around on the underside, which provides an optimal seal between the adapter ring and the vehicle panel. Ingenious: Solid brass nuts were incorporated into the aluminum adapter ring under the seal. These provide the supplied M4 threaded screws with perfect support for the loudspeaker to be mounted.

MUSWAY THE BRAND
Anyone looking for excellent sounding products will find what they are looking for at MUSWAY.
MUSWAY stands for “Music is the Way” and is intended to symbolize that the company founders see music as part of their way of life and culture, which ultimately led to the company’s motto.
Uncompromisingly good sound is always seen as the ideal and so it is not surprising that all MUSWAY employees are sound-loving people who aim to build high-quality products for sophisticated music reproduction. They share this passion for music with many others around the world, which unites all music fans in a simple and friendly way.
In the early years, the young brand thrilled the market with high-quality Hi-Res audio players that could play music without the usual losses - i.e. “lossless”.
Following its success, MUSWAY dedicated itself to developing high-quality digital sound processors (DSP), which quickly became the focus of the product philosophy since their introduction.
As a further consequence, the first Class D power amplifiers with DSP processors were created in 2015, which were presented to a wider international audience for the first time in 2018.
Already at their debut, the two DSP power amplifiers tested in Car & Hifi showed what they could do: The innovative 6-channel amplifier M6 easily placed itself as “Best Product” in the “top class”, and the 8-channel model D8 was convincing even more and consistently achieved top marks in the “absolute top class”. Since then, MUSWAY has stood for the finest sound and modern technology for sound enthusiasts.
THE PHILOSOPHY
Thanks to the high-end philosophy in the understanding of high quality and the best sound, the products in their current form and function were created in collaboration between MUSWAY and the European sales partner AUDIO DESIGN.
The DSP amplifiers in particular are subjected to a constant process of optimization in this dialogue.
The D8 is now available in v2 version, which, like the M6, is now very user-friendly via USB Bluetooth adapter to include audio streaming functions or convenient APP control for tablets or
Smartphones can be expanded. This makes digital sound processing fun. MUSWAY developed the P2 mini power amplifier to match the aforementioned DSP power amplifiers.
If you want to make full use of the DSP channels of the M6 or D8, you can easily add two active channels with the P2 in no time!
The good technical and sound characteristics particularly caught the eye of test editor Elmar Michels, who put the P2 through its paces in Car&Hifi issue 6/2018.
He noted: “The fact that a power amplifier chip delivers a bandwidth of up to 60 kilohertz (!) is anything but self-evident... This also applies to the sonic performance, because here too the small size shows its size.”
STATE OF PLAY
Enthusiasm only becomes valuable when it can be put into practice.
From there it usually gets complicated, as technically insurmountable hurdles often put a premature end to the theoretical ideal.
At least that's how it was in the last millennium, when amplifiers with good sound and high performance could hardly be accommodated in small cars.
Apart from the power consumption, these watt monsters easily caused some batteries to die.
But that's not all: if you were to compare the features of the digital MUSWAY amplifiers presented here, the difference would be at least as big as if you were comparing a rotary dial telephone from the eighties with a modern smartphone from today. If you are planning to take the well-seasoned amplifier out of the basement to install it in your new vehicle, we would advise against it. They would probably only have limited enjoyment from it.
TECHNOLOGY FOR SOUND ENTHUSIASTICS
Modern amplifiers in the style of the MUSWAY interpretation are “digital” sound machines that are bursting with features and the latest technology.
Imagine if you had your own recording studio so you could optimally adjust the sound of your speakers. Do you have the picture in front of you? Multiple mixers on different levels with different controls and audio tracks?
Maybe you can imagine that with such an arsenal of adjustment options you can actually get the best sound from any speaker.
This was the basic idea of the developers when DSP technology found its way into modern amplifiers.
Exactly this topology was implemented in the MUSWAY DSP amplifiers, in a very small space and with the latest processor technology.
Basically, it's about optimally reproducing the natural sound as it is stored in a good recording.
As trivial as this sounds, it can be difficult in practice. Just as there are problems with any recording of music, there are also problems with playing it, especially if the speakers are not optimally placed in the vehicle or other acoustic obstacles stand in the way of good sound reproduction. It is precisely with such problems that the MUSWAY processor amplifiers show their full potential. All parameters can be adjusted perfectly, with a technically extremely high level of sound fidelity, which was previously hardly thought possible.
THE TECHNOLOGY
The slogan “TECHNOLOGY FOR SOUND ENJOYMENTS” is MUSWAY’s program. This becomes particularly clear when you take a closer look at the uncompromisingly high-end hi-fi components of the power amplifiers.
Highly efficient Class D technology is used, and each pair of channels can also be switched to mono, which makes it particularly easy to connect subwoofers.
However, the sound is even more important than function: the individual components have been fine-tuned to each other in countless listening sessions so that even the most critical listeners get their money's worth.
In the past it was often the case that processor power amplifiers in particular had a high level of technical competence, but the sound fell by the wayside. Not so with the modern MUSWAY amplifiers: Here, high functionality is combined with the highest sound quality. It doesn't matter whether simple factory loudspeakers are given an acoustic boost or whether the countless control options are used to get the most out of retrofitted, higher-quality loudspeakers. With the latter, the result is of course a lot better.
Thanks to DSP, virtually any corrections can be set clearly. Whether frequency correction, Q factor, running time, phase rotation or extensive crossover configurations, the ultimate in sound is only possible in this way.
Anyone who is satisfied with less is clearly in the wrong place.
THE PORTFOLIO
The MUSWAY portfolio now includes not only DSP amplifiers and processors, the passionate inventors from the MUSWAY sound laboratory have also expanded the product range to include loudspeaker systems, housing subwoofers and corresponding accessories. They demonstrated the same dedication and meticulousness that was celebrated in the development of the DSP amplifiers.
Only the finest components and innovative materials were used in the construction of the new, well-thought-out models, which more than pays off in terms of the balanced and excellent sound as well as the performance and longevity. They don't just appeal in terms of price/performance, the speakers and subwoofers are particularly impressive across the board when it comes to sound. Thanks to the extensive range of powerful and optimally tuned sound transducers, nothing stands in the way of a sound system in your vehicle consisting entirely of MUSWAY components. Let us inspire you with a hearing test!
