Antolin and Mobility Audio Innovations Revolutionize In-Vehicle Sound: Headliners that Eliminate Speakers and Deliver a 360º Immersive Audio Experience
Antolin, a global supplier of technological solutions for vehicle interiors, and Mobility Audio Innovations (MAI), a subsidiary of Bongiovi Media & Technology (BMT), are proud to announce the global launch of their next-generation automotive audio systems. This milestone follows the strategic collaboration announced in Q1 2025 and marks a significant step forward in redefining in-vehicle infotainment, communication and acoustic design.
A New Era of Integrated Audio Innovation
The partnership between Antolin and MAI has resulted in a unique audio concept that transforms the headliner substrate into a bespoke sound system. By integrating MAI’s advanced audio processing algorithms and hardware designs, already implemented in aircraft applications—including the recent adoption of Dolby Atmos technology in private jets—alongside Antolin's expertise in interior design and manufacturing, the solution delivers immersive, high-performance sound without traditional speakers.
Depending on the desired approach, conventional speaker components can be enhanced or substituted through the integration of those advanced audio algorithms developed by MAI. This flexibility simplifies assembly by reducing wiring and supports a more efficient and sustainable production process.
Four Pillars of Value
The new system offers clear advantages across four key dimensions:
User Experience
- Immersive sound environments
- Enhanced privacy and isolation for in-cabin communication
- Improved speech intelligibility and acoustic notifications
- Effective road noise mitigation
Sound Performance
- Sweet Spot optimization for consistent audio quality across seating positions
- Optimized dynamic range for music, voice, and system alerts
- Proprietary Digital Power Station (DPS) algorithms for precise, dynamic sound sculpting and tonal balance
Sustainability
- Weight reduction through speakerless design
- Lower material usage and simplified logistics
- Energy-efficient audio architecture
Integration
- Greater design freedom for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)
- Seamless compatibility with safety systems
- Scalable across vehicle platforms, including electric and hybrid models
Global Reach
Now available to automotive OEMs worldwide, these solutions combine advanced hardware, software, and artificial intelligence to create dynamic sound environments tailored to all vehicle types, and are delivered globally through Antolin’s extensive manufacturing and distribution network
“Our collaboration with MAI transforms the automotive audio landscape,” said Javier Villacampa, Head of Innovation & 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.”
