In light of emerging automotive megatrends such as ridesharing, passengers increasingly demand personalized sound environments, allowing each individual to enjoy a customized audio experience.

However, current speaker-based systems cannot achieve this level of personalization due to challenges such as poor low-frequency sound reproduction and the need for perforated seat covers.

In this free webinar, expert Philipp Neubauer from Continental Engineering Service presented the Ac2ated Sound solution, which leverages electrodynamic actuators to activate existing vehicle structures, such as headliners, seat covers, and A-pillar trims, transforming them into high-quality sound radiators.

Key topics and takeaways:

  • Explore the concept of actuator-based sound systems
  • Assess the potential benefits and risks of this approach
  • Learn how to integrate actuators into seat headrests
  • Understand the advantages of actuator-based headrests over traditional speaker-based systems, supported by measurement data
