Accustomed to producing onboard audio systems for vehicles, the company Sennheiser Mobility presents Scenico and Polifonia, two new technologies that open up unprecedented possibilities.
Scenico: compact sound immersion in Ambeo style
Integrating Ambeo technology, Scenico produces an immersive soundstage from a compact set of loudspeakers. This means a reduced footprint for greater freedom in vehicle cabin design for automakers.
Polifonia: a tailor-made acoustic bubble for each passenger
As for Polifonia, it allows each occupant to enjoy their own content, without spilling over onto others, or onto the driver, who retains access to navigation information and safety alerts. This technology is based in particular on software audio processing module, including active noise reduction, and on loudspeakers integrated into the headrests.
Dr. Véronique Larcher, General Manager of Sennheiser Mobility, speaks
“The future of automotive audio lies in ever richer sound experiences, capable of intelligently adapting to the needs of each occupant,” explains Dr. Véronique Larcher, General Manager of Sennheiser Mobility. “With Scenico and Polifonia, we are pushing back the boundaries of immersive sound reproduction and personalized listening. Scenico shows how our innovative loudspeaker network technology makes it possible to create a remarkably wide and stable soundstage, while offering automakers greater freedom in designing their vehicles. Polifonia goes even further in personalization by allowing each occupant to listen to different content simultaneously. The driver can thus remain focused on navigation instructions and the information essential to their safety, while passengers enjoy their music, films, or video games according to their preferences. Together, these two innovations bring us closer to a future where every seat on board can become a true premium listening space”.
The release dates and exact pricing of these technologies intended for automakers have not yet been communicated by Sennheiser Mobility. Reminder of the key features of Sennheiser Scenico and Polifonia: • Onboard audio technologies for vehicles by Sennheiser Mobility • Scenico: immersive sound reproduction based on Ambeo technology with a compact loudspeaker network • Polifonia: multizone individualized listening system with loudspeakers integrated into the headrests • Audio processing software module with active noise reduction for sound isolation between passengers • Driver safety preserved (priority maintenance of alerts and navigation instructions)
