LOS ANGELES - (Business Wire) Audyssey® is pleased to announce the all-new Volvo S60 as the next car model to use Audyssey MultEQ Technology—the standard for room calibration in millions of home and professional theaters worldwide. MultEQ is an innovative acoustical correction technology that enables Volvo to calibrate the sound system in the newly announced S60. MultEQ removes the distortion caused by the car’s cabin enabling crisp, clear sound with an improved soundstage in every seat. “We are thrilled to partner with Volvo Car Corporation, a world-class manufacturer of automobiles, to extend the home theater sound experience to their customers,” says Audyssey CEO Michael Solomon. "Volvo has achieved a new level of efficiency and precision through their use of our MultEQ technology."
“Our most advanced system, Premium Sound, offers a12-loudspeaker system tuned and calibrated using the award-winning MultEQ from Audyssey Laboratories, a key to accurate and enveloping sound, an absolute world class audio experience,” says Tomas Ahlborg.
MultEQ uses information captured at multiple locations throughout the cabin to correct for both time and frequency response problems caused by speaker placement and reflections. The soundstage is rendered as it is in the original recording, vocals become focused, musical balance is restored, musical instruments become precisely localized, and the surround impression is made seamless and enveloping.
In addition to MultEQ, Audyssey has developed and released several other technologies that are currently shipping in a wide variety of home theater and television products: Audyssey Dynamic Volume®, enabling hands free listening through volume leveling, Dynamic EQ® for preserving tonal balance and surround impression during lower level listening, and Audyssey DSX for adding surround channels where they have the most impact. Audyssey anticipates these technologies will also migrate to the automotive environment.
