The Making of
The great musician Herbert von Karajan once told Enzo Ferrari that his engines produced "a burst of harmony no conductor could ever recreate".
"A burst of harmony no conductor could ever recreate"
The sound of engine and exhaust is a vital part of the experience when driving a car. Comfort and environmental requirements, however, has led to an almost complete suppression of these sounds.
Kenneth Palmestål, with a long time interest in car racing and a professional background in computers, electronics and innovation, investigated ways to regain that exciting experience without interfering with those recuirements. He finally came up with the idea to combine a Car FM Transmitter for MP3 players with an electronic chip that could detect the engine speed and produce a convincing, racing tuned, engine sound to be reproduced in the car audio system.
It took a team of sound engineers, software consultants (at Epsilon Embedded) and Palmestål several months of development, testing and adjustments to reach the goals for function and sound quality that was set for the project.
The unique and attractive housing was developed by designer Karolina Adolfsson, Studio doo.
