Engine sound: Adjust volume, treble and bass on the
radio to get the best sound experience in your car.
More bass brings a more powerful sound effect. Just
be careful not to blow your speakers.
Engine speed: If you want the SoundRacer "engine" to
run on lower rpm you can adjust it by locking the idling
to a higher rpm. This is done by not releasing the
throttle fully during startup, after the first beep you
keep the rpm at approximately 1500-2000 rpm. This is
useful if you drive a "high rev" car or for highway
driving.
4. How it works
The technology in SoundRacer is based on signals
(electrical noise) on the electrical cables from the AC
alternator that is used in most cars today. The signal
frequency follows the engine speed, SoundRacer
detects this signal and transforms it to a simulated
rpm. The increase in simulated rpm is then multiplied
with a factor in order to produce a more exciting
