SeatCentric PersonalSpace is a 360-degree listening experience with a user controllable immersion level.
Leverages the audio rendering capabilities of Bose UltraNearField speakers and signal processing.
Allows the driver to vary the soundfield from very narrow and forward to wide and immersive.
Creates a deep, rich sound that previously would have required more speakers inside the cabin.
Immersive sound experience is a common demand of end users and personalization is an industry trend. Listeners want to be able to dial in their preferred settings for the best possible experience during their ride.
UltraNearField (UNF) speakers are optimized for delivering specific mid-to-high frequency content directly to the listener's left or right ears so that the listener can perceive accurate source locations regardless of the cabin size.
Bose UNF headrest speakers work together with traditional perimeter speakers to enable a vivid 360-degree listening experience into the listeners' seats.
