AZS® – Active Zone Separation®
Hear clearly without missing anything important.
Modern vehicles are increasingly becoming digital living spaces. At the same time, a car’s interior remains a particularly sensitive acoustic environment: drivers need to be able to reliably hear important ambient sounds, while passengers have growing needs for personalized entertainment and communication. This is exactly where AZS® comes in.
Instead of simply suppressing noise, audio zones create a precisely tuned sound architecture that allows for the creation of distinct listening areas within the vehicle—without compromising acoustic safety. The result is a personalized sound space for every person in the vehicle.
For drivers, this means:
- essential vehicle and ambient sounds remain fully audible at all times,
- Warnings and assistance signals remain a priority,
- At the same time, navigation or phone announcements can be played back clearly and distinctly without disturbing other passengers.
For passengers, in turn, this creates dedicated audio zones where they can listen to music, watch movies, or make phone calls—without distracting the driver and without the need for loud background noise.
Active Zone Separation® thus Active Zone Separation® the specific requirements of the automotive industry:
It enhances comfort, provides privacy, and improves the user experience without compromising the fundamental acoustic perception of traffic sounds. The result is a harmonious interior where everyone hears exactly what they’re supposed to hear—and at the same time, everything they need to hear.
