Interior vehicle sound: the ultimate auditory experience
We are your expert for ev interior car sound
KENDRION offers customer-specific solutions for the electric vehicle (ev) interior. For this purpose we supply structure-borne sound actuators with or without control unit.
The electrodynamic drive of the sound actuator transforms the body structure or the windshield into a sound converter in order to enhance the sound of smaller engines in the vehicle interior and thus increase the driving pleasure.
The ev car sound actuator offers a compact solution for both interior sound reinforcement and the smallest possible installation space. The KENDRION ev sound actuator not only enhances the conventional engine sound but also provides a completely new, unmistakable sound for hybrid and electric vehicles and provides Sound Masking.
