AZS – Active Zone Separation®

Hear clearly without missing what matters.

Modern vehicles are increasingly becoming digital living spaces. At the same time, a car’s interior remains a particularly sensitive acoustic environment: drivers must reliably perceive important ambient sounds, while passengers increasingly have individual entertainment or communication needs. This is exactly where AZS comes in.

Instead of merely suppressing noise, audio zones create a precisely tuned sound architecture that makes it possible to design different listening areas in the vehicle—without compromising acoustic safety. This creates a personalized sound space for each person in the vehicle.

For drivers, this means:

• essential vehicle and ambient sounds remain fully perceptible at all times
• warnings and assistance signals retain their priority
• at the same time, navigation or phone announcements can be played back clearly and with focus, without disturbing other occupants

For passengers, in turn, dedicated sound areas are created where they can listen to music, watch films, or make phone calls—without distracting the driver and without the need for loud counter-sound.

The result is a harmonious interior in which everyone hears exactly what they are supposed to hear—and at the same time everything they need to hear.

Active Zone Separation® therefore takes into account the special requirements of the automotive environment:

• increases comfort
• creates privacy
• improves the user experience without impairing fundamental acoustic perception in road traffic
