Oregon-based cabin electronics company Rosen Aviation has announced a new in-seat audio system for business aircraft. It said the system uses “newly patented technologies in sound wave propagation to produce life-like sound and music that accurately recreates tone, timbre, and spatiality for an engaging and authentic experience.”
The technology was developed in partnership with Laurence Dickie, co-founder of Vivid Audio and the inventor of the “Nautilus” loudspeaker.
“The steady increase in demand for truly high-end audio has been gaining momentum in commercial and VIP aviation over the past decade, and we now have a unique approach that offers passengers a next-level experience. Existing solutions are still far from what customers can experience in their car, let alone at home, and Rosen’s system represents a culmination of hardware and software that will ultimately create a new paradigm in inflight audio capabilities,” said Rosen Aviation senior v-p of strategy Lee Clark.
The demo will be showcased by appointment next month at the Aviation Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany, as part of what Rosen calls its “PO-RT-AL (Personally Optimized Real Time Augmented Luxury)” passenger experience. This display features digital windows and skylights, curved carbon composite inflight entertainment display, hologram controller, and a smart cupholder.
