Extract in the head unit. Reproduce with four drivers. Every seat benefits in upgraded performance. Every seat in a car is off-center – conventional systems tune for one position and compromise the rest. M.A. takes a different route.

The chain, crystallized for the cabin

Extract + Reproduce, packaged for the car

The existing premium system keeps its role unchanged. M.A. runs extraction as a software block on the head unit or amplifier DSP, and adds a small number of Differential Mode drivers as phase-split pairs – instrument panel and rear shelf, the exact placements the filed two-generator design names.

  1. Extract – in the head unit.

    Extraction runs as software using standard DSP primitives. Any source works: streaming stereo, stored media, broadcast.

  2. Reproduce – 2 to 4 supplemental drivers.

    The existing 12-driver system is untouched; M.A. adds 2–4 Differential Mode drivers as phase-split pairs.

  3. Follow the filed design.

    Pair spacing of 15–30 cm and spectral interlacing below the midrange follow the two-generator architecture, which names instrument panels and rear shelves directly.

  4. A/B demonstrable.

    Switch the Differential Mode path on and off from the head unit – the difference is the demo, in a single test drive.

Cabin top-view: existing base system unchanged; 2–4 Differential Mode drivers added as phase-split pairs, 15–30 cm spacing.

Benefits

  • Designed to extend the enjoyable listening area across all seats
  • Software-first – extraction licenses into existing DSP platforms, no new silicon
  • Incremental hardware – 2–4 drivers and amp channels, not a system redesign
  • A brand-differentiating feature OEMs can demo in one test drive

Integration paths

  • Head-unit and amplifier DSP platforms (software license)
  • OEM premium audio lines (factory-fit DM driver pairs)
  • Tier-1 audio system suppliers (reference design)
  • Aftermarket DSP amplifiers (retrofit extraction)
