Fiat Panda, Type 169

The Fiat Panda 169 library delivers vehicle sounds of a common mass production car. The featured model was manufactured in late 2009 and has run about 40,000 miles at the time of recording. With the small 1.1 litre / 55 HP engine it is a lively compact size city car for daily use. The rear muffler already showed some rusty traces of age so that the entire car emits some very characteristic sounds, especially from the exhaust.

For the library the Panda was recorded in 18 takes with 6 onboard mics. These takes feature the car in various driving situations on asphalt, dirt road and gravel. Each take comes as REAPER set with time-aligned tracks from 2 mics in the engine bay, 2 interior mics, 1 wheelhouse and 1 exhaust microphone.

The exterior sounds - that encompass engine on, off, acceleration, approach, stop etc. - are recorded with Sennheiser MS Setup.

Additional foleys of doors, switches, wipers, windows, seat belts etc. are recorded separately with the car's engine turned off.
