Sting and Chris Botti Tour Manila in Volvo

World-renowned jazz trumpeter Chris Botti and rock legend Sting cruised around Manila in their March 2016 tour in the dynamic Volvo XC60 SUV and All-New Volvo 7-seater XC90 SUV.

Volvo – whose signature features are its uncluttered design and a combination of power, fuel efficiency and advanced technology – was the perfect pairing for these music legends as its new models’ audio system is a result of a partnership with British audio specialists Bowers & Wilkins.

With an appreciation for beauty in its many forms, this time, the XC60 SUV and XC90 SUV placed sound ad song at front and center. Volvo, Bowers & Wilkins together with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra collaborated to take more than 800 individual measurements in the Gothenburg Concert Hall and, with some very sophisticated software, were able to recreate the acoustics of the concert hall inside the Volvo XC90.

These Volvo models also feature an automobile world-first: a body-integrated air-ventilated subwoofer that allows a large volume of air that can be pulsed, delivering high-quality, powerful bass tones.
