Car Headrest-Embedded Speakers

The New Miata Car Sound System Features Headrest Speakers

— May 29, 2015 — Autos
As far as car sound systems go, the new Miata setup is pretty dope. Designed by Bose specifically for the 2016 MX-5 Miata, this system features both roof-up and roof-down equalization.

The issue with convertible vehicles is that a lot of musical detail and clarity is lost when the roof is down. Ambient noise can drown out the sound coming out of your speakers. So while you may be able to showcase your musical taste to people on the street, you won't actually be able to properly appreciate your music sitting in the car.

That's where this car sound system comes in. It includes a microphone that analyzes ambient sounds such as wind and road noise, before boosting specific frequencies of sound to compensate for them.
Trend Themes
1. Car Sound Systems with Headrest-embedded Speakers - Car manufacturers can innovate car sound systems by embedding speakers into the headrests to increase clarity and detail, even when driving with the roof down.
2. Ambient Sound Analysis for Car Sound Systems - Car manufacturers can incorporate a microphone that analyzes ambient sound to boost specific frequencies of music to compensate for wind and road noise while driving.
3. Roof-up and Roof-down Equalization - Car manufacturers can improve the audio experience of convertible vehicles by developing sound systems with roof-up and roof-down equalization features.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Industry - Car manufacturers can leverage headrest-embedded speakers and ambient sound analysis to differentiate their products and enhance the audio experience of their vehicles.
2. Audio Equipment Industry - Audio equipment companies can partner with car manufacturers to develop specialized sound systems with advanced features like roof-up and roof-down equalization and headrest-embedded speakers.
3. Entertainment Industry - The entertainment industry can explore and promote innovative products and technologies like car sound systems with headrest-embedded speakers and ambient sound analysis to enhance the music listening experience for drivers and passengers.
