This feature highlights the journey and current status of Ac2ated Sound — how it has evolved from an innovative concept into a production-ready technology set to transform the future of in-car audio.
Automobil Industrie is a trusted source for decision-makers across OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and engineering service providers. Its coverage of emerging technologies puts Ac2ated Sound at the forefront of industry conversation, validating years of innovation and positioning our solution as ready for the mass market.
Ac2ated Sound from concept to industrial maturity
Inspired by the acoustics of classical musical instruments, Ac2ated Sound turns interior vehicle components into resonating surfaces using specially developed actuators. Instead of relying on traditional loudspeakers, parts such as headliners, A-pillars, and other trims become the sound sources themselves.
The result is immersive, high-quality sound — with up to 8 kg of weight savings — while offering greater design flexibility and improved integration options for OEMs.
Following extensive development and rigorous testing, AUMOVIO has engineered proprietary actuators that meet the demanding standards of the automotive industry. With production set to begin at the end of next year, Ac2ated Sound will debut in premium vehicles, offering advantages in performance, sustainability, and space optimization.
Beyond audio
Ac2ated Sound can also support mandatory AVAS (Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems), enable zoned audio experiences, improve privacy, and reduce cabin noise, all with fewer components and improved recyclability.
Our actuators are engineered for the full vehicle lifecycle and can be easily removed, refurbished, or reused—supporting circular economy principles. Key components use steel springs and thermally stable materials to ensure lasting performance.
