UK-based audio technology company, Warwick Acoustics, has announced its ‘ElectroAcoustic Panels’ based on its patented electrostatic loudspeaker technology.
According to the company, its EectroAcoustic Panels bring significant whole vehicle system benefits compared to conventional audio technology. Like-for-like, ElectroAcoustic Panels are up to 75% lighter, consume up to 75% less power and offer significant interior design and packaging freedom.
As automotive manufacturers (OEMs) set key sustainability objectives, including decarbonising their supply bases to become carbon-neutral, its ElectroAcoustic Panels deliver breakthrough speaker solutions for OEMs in achieving such targets with the use of 100% by mass upcycled and recyclable materials. In addition, the panels do not use any unsustainable rare earth elements whatsoever – something that conventional speakers rely upon in the manufacturing process, the company said.
Moreover, the panels offer automotive designers and engineers significant freedom over speaker location and cabin integration. Unlike conventional speakers, these panels can be moulded into diverse form factors and incorporated into almost all interior surface designs. This creates additional space within vehicle interiors for passengers and freedom for automotive manufacturers to innovate visual interior designs, creating new and distinctive in-cabin experiences.
Mike Grant, CEO, Warwick Acoustics, said, “We believe that our revolutionary technology is capable of transforming premium audio within the automotive sector through both the extraordinary acoustic quality our solutions deliver to consumers and the multifarious and significant benefits our solutions deliver to OEMs.”
“Our business is primed for expansion. Our ElectroAcoustic Panels are automotive-application ready. We have assembled a world-class team with an exceptional depth of industry experience. With strong financial backing, the company is now scaling the business rapidly to capitalise fully on the opportunity in front of us to be a global leader in our field,” Grant added.
