RetroSound Europa 4 DAB
The RetroSound Europa Motor 4 DAB is a stylish car stereo for classic vehicles that combines the period look of the 1960s and 1970s with modern features. With its chrome frame, large buttons, retro controls and discreet display, it fits perfectly into the interiors of youngtimers and classics while offering the functions expected from a contemporary head unit.
The radio features a built-in DAB/DAB+ tuner, AM/FM RDS tuner with 30 presets, Bluetooth 5.0 for handsfree calls and wireless music streaming, two rear USB inputs, color-adjustable display, 4 × 25 W RMS power, RCA outputs for external amplifiers and a dedicated subwoofer output. A key advantage of RetroSound is its modular construction, which allows better adaptation for installation in older cars.

| Number of RCA outputsRCA outputs , colloquially called "cinches", are used to connect an external amplifier or active subwoofer. Aftermarket car radios are usually equipped with 1 to 3 pairs of RCA outputs. FRONT, REAR and SUB are used. It also depends on how many volt outputs the car radio is equipped with. More basic models of car radios have 2V outputs, more expensive units have 4V and more. The higher the specified value, the less power demands are placed on the external amplifier and the sound quality increases. | 3 pairs |

| External microphone included in the packageThe external microphone is connected from the back of the car radio to the input marked "MIC". For ideal sound quality during a phone call, we recommend placing the external microphone on the left "A" pillar at the point where the "A" pillar and the roof panel connect to each other. A very good position to place an external microphone is also near the central rear-view mirror. | Yes |
