Audyssey Labs Sound Technology Selected by Volvo
Audyssey MultEQ Chosen by Volvo Cars to Develop the Next Generation
of Audio Systems for Its Cars
LOS ANGELES (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) October 7, 2008 --
Volvo Cars has chosen to use MultEQ, an innovative acoustical correction
technology developed by Audyssey Labs, to calibrate new cars equipped
with its top-of-the-line Premium Sound systems. MultEQ has earned many
awards since its release and is now a key component in many high-end
home theater products, including the entire line of Denon AVR's.
“MultEQ was originally developed to achieve
reference sound in home theater systems based on several years of
university research to identify the key factors that cause acoustical
distortion. The algorithms we developed over the past six years were
further refined to address the more challenging automotive environment.
New measurement and equalization methods were needed in order to remove
the acoustical problems in the car,” says
Chris Kyriakakis, Audyssey CTO and Founder. “We
are thrilled to partner with Volvo, a world-class manufacturer of
automobiles to extend the home theater sound experience to their
customers.”
“Choosing to work together with Audyssey Labs
is evidence of our high ambition in the audio field," says Lex
Kerssemakers, Senior Vice President Brand, Business & Product Strategy.
“This announcement is the first of several new
markets where our technology will be integrated to improve the quality
of sound," says Audyssey CEO Michael Solomon. “The
breakthrough here is this is the first automated solution that improves
sound in a wide listening area as opposed to a single seat.”
In addition to MultEQ, Audyssey has recently developed and released
several other technologies: Dynamic Volume, enabling hands free
listening through volume levelling, Dynamic EQ for preserving tonal
balance and surround impression during lower level listening, and BassXT
for extending bass response from smaller speaker drivers. Audyssey
anticipates these technologies will also migrate to the automotive
environment over time.
