Antolin and Mobility Audio Innovations (MAI), a subsidiary of Bongiovi Media & Technology (BMT), have launched an audio system that uses the headliner substrate as a sound source, eliminating the need for traditional speakers.
Alternative integrated audio
The next-generation automotive audio system follows the companies’ strategic collaboration announced in Q1 2025 and combines MAI’s audio processing algorithms and hardware – already used in aviation, including recent Dolby Atmos-equipped private jets – with Antolin’s interior design and manufacturing expertise to deliver immersive, high-performance in-cabin sound.
Depending on the desired approach, conventional speaker components can be enhanced or substituted through the integration of the advanced audio algorithms developed by MAI. This flexibility simplifies assembly by reducing wiring and supports a more efficient and sustainable production process.
“Our collaboration with MAI transforms the automotive audio landscape,” said Javier Villacampa, head of innovation and sustainability at Antolin. “By combining our integration expertise with their cutting-edge audio technologies, we are now delivering market-ready solutions that elevate the in-car experience for consumers worldwide.”
“We are thrilled to see our joint vision come to life on a global scale,” said George Kehayas, COO of MAI. “Antolin’s global reach and manufacturing prowess have enabled us to bring immersive audio solutions to vehicles everywhere, redefining the in-vehicle experience for both drivers and passengers.”
