Panasonic Automotive's award-winning ELS
STUDIO 3D® PREMIUM AUDIO Reimagined for the Fisker Ocean
Blends Best-in-Class Audio Performance with Sustainability-focused
Design
LOS
ANGELES, Nov. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic
Automotive Systems Company of America, a tier-one automotive
supplier and division of Panasonic Corporation of North America, announces with Fisker Inc.
(NYSE: FSR) the launch of the Fisker Pulse audio system
powered by ELS STUDIO 3D® on the all-new 2023 Fisker
Ocean Extreme and Fisker Ocean One. Specially designed to promote
sustainability and high performance, the ELS STUDIO 3D system
features 15-high performance speakers and brings Panasonic's studio
quality sound to the all-electric Fisker Ocean SUV described
as "The World's Most Sustainable Vehicle."
Panasonic Automotive has decades of experience and a broad
portfolio of technologies supporting the electrified vehicle
programs of global vehicle manufacturers. Neodymium magnet circuit
designs are used to reduce the overall weight of each individual
speaker by 30-60%. It is estimated that the ELS STUDIO
3D® PREMIUM AUDIO system draws up to 60% less energy
than a typical audio system with similar acoustic output, extending
the vehicle driving range.
Panasonic Automotive strategically approached the design to
create a studio experience unique to Fisker. Installed along
the instrument panel are three 9cm PrecisionDrive®
Carbon Fiber Coaxial speakers, artfully hidden beneath Fisker's
sustainable interior materials for a clean visual effect without
sacrificing the remarkable clarity of the vocals and
instruments.
Four ultra slim, lightweight,
full-range Highline® speakers mounted in the
headliner work together with Panasonic Automotive's proprietary
DJX® 3D Surround algorithm to create an immersive sound
experience throughout the cabin that places the listeners in the
center of the performance without compromising fidelity or
accuracy.
Four 17cm PrecisionDrive® Carbon Fiber woofers
provide stunning bass with low distortion. The 20cm SLDD
subwoofer creates the powerful, deep bass response that brings the
music to life.
The vehicle's ELS STUDIO 3D system produces sound quality
similar to a recording studio and celebrates the highest level of
performance validated through the discriminating ears of eight-time
Grammy® Award winning recording engineer & producer,
Elliot Scheiner.
"Fisker is pushing the industry forward with a vision focused on
sustainability, and Panasonic Automotive is honored to join in
building the future of Fisker electric vehicles," said Andrew Poliak, chief technology officer,
Panasonic Automotive Systems Company of America. "With decades of
experience, our audio design team worked closely with Fisker
to bring a new approach to speaker placement, creating an
emotional audio experience for EVs, focused on efficiency and
sustainability without sacrificing the authentic studio quality
sound and emotional impact that are the foundations of all ELS
STUDIO 3D® systems."
"The newest iteration of the ELS STUDIO 3D® PREMIUM
AUDIO is the result of a shared creative vision between Fisker and
Panasonic Automotive technical teams," said Matt DeBord,
senior director communications, Fisker Inc. "With Fisker's unique
vehicle build designed with over 100 lbs of recycled and bio-based
materials, a super-clean and modern interior, and ELS STUDIO 3D's
sustainable approach to audio engineering - we created a system
that maxes out its capabilities and delivers a unique, high-quality
sound experience while staying true to our performance and
sustainability goals."
