HARMAN SUMMIT Next: An Elevated Experience for Luxury

Unveiled last year at CES 2016, HARMAN is showcasing the evolution of its innovative SUMMIT Next smart audio solution that offers HARMAN’s highest level of acoustic performance coupled with intelligent expandable features.

the Lexicon team to leverage an original algorithm that Lexicon’s Professional Solutions actually employs to help bands and musical artists recreate a particular sound quality so they are able to play their best across different environments and venues. When applied to the car, we can tune the vehicle to match any venue through this software in combination with speaker size, placement, etc. To translate the acoustic quality, we can actually go into any venue and measure the impulse response of the space. We place microphones in various locations and use the data from audio pickup to map it to the car audio system.

Designing Virtual Venues – a Q&A with Senior Engineer, Chris Trestain

Virtual Venues essentially allows us to transform the car into another space. It makes you feel as if you are anywhere you want to be listening to that music. So if you’re listening to Miles Davis, you could have your car sound like the inside of some little underground jazz club in New York City, for example. Or a KISS track can have the same big, enveloping sound quality as an open air stadium arena. And it’s not just the reverb of the music that is affected; the whole environment inside the car has been transformed to sound like the venue. So if you snapped your fingers or said something aloud, it would reflect the acoustics of that particular venue. People crave this experience – they want to feel more relaxed and enjoy their time in the car, especially when they’re sitting in traffic on their commute or whatever it may be.

Targeted specifically for the luxury market, SUMMIT Next smart audio gives automakers the ability to create an unprecedented personalized luxury experience in the vehicle, while implementing a truly scalable system strategy with connected capabilities to enable over-the-air updates via digital stores or companion apps for truly future-proof feature sets.

Additionally, the system provides an ultra-premium listening experience capable of more than 60 individual channels of amplification and equalization, while simultaneously delivering proprietary HARMAN DSP-based technologies such as Individual Sound Zones (ISZ), QuantumLogic Immersion 3D Surround Sound, Clari-Fi music reconstruction technology, HALOsonic noise management solutions and the customized, acoustically modeled environments of Virtual Venues.

New for the HARMAN SUMMIT Next smart audio platform is an exciting portfolio of solutions that will transform how people engage with their vehicles, creating new centers for entertainment and productivity by leveraging the very latest in acoustic and connected technology advances, including:

Ambisonics Escape – Next-generation acoustic processing turns a vehicle into a personal sanctuary, transporting drivers into the natural surroundings they see outside their car windows, by sonically recreating actual environments such as the beach, a forest, waterfalls and more, through a full 360-degree sound field, while still inside the vehicle.

Dynamic Sound Stage (DSS) – A responsive spatial soundstage connects the music to the drive quite literally by controlling the soundstage in the vehicle cabin to match the route – responding to curves in the road, tunnels, even acceleration, and deceleration. The result is a more dynamic listening experience that is as varied as the journey itself.

In-Car Conferencing – Ambisonic processing spatially renders audio from in-car calls to match video locations in a futuristic conferencing experience to give the sensation of being in a real meeting room from the comfort and privacy of the vehicle cabin.

In-Car Theatre – The most theatre-like viewing experience ever achieved in a vehicle combines HARMAN’s QuantumLogic Immersion professional movie theatre audio processing with segment-leading video, bringing passengers closer to a real movie experience than ever before.

The next generation of luxury buyers, HARMAN SUMMIT Next smart audio delivers a new multi-sensory audio experience
