Resonado Labs, an audio technology startup based out of the University of Notre Dame, has announced its proprietary Flat Core Speaker (FCS) technology will first be available to consumers in the RV industry. The technology will first be implemented in Airstream’s 2022 Touring Coach model line.
“FCS technology is hitting the market at a time when everything is becoming sleeker, more efficient, and increasingly immersive. It’s challenging the ubiquity of the century-old conventional conical speaker type, whose form is recognized globally as the volume icon,” the company said.
According to the company, the slim profile and flat diaphragm of the speaker’s architecture caters directly to the growing demand across industries for slim and space-efficient, yet high performance and immersive audio products.
“Having started our company in South Bend, Ind., the first industry we really engaged with was the RV industry because of the physical proximity to Elkhart, which is known as the RV capital of the world” said Resonado Labs co-founder and CEO Brian Youngil Cho. “With RV as our beachhead market, we were able to gather unique insights that we’ve been able to apply to now active projects in both the automotive and home audio industries. And it’s a privilege to debut our technology in Airstream, one of the most iconic American brands in existence today.”
Resonado Labs partnered with RiverPark, a supplier of consumer electronics to the RV, commercial vehicle, and adjacent OEM industries, for design assembly and distribution. Details of the Resonado Labs’ speaker system are slated to be unveiled later this year.
“We’re excited to work with Resonado Labs on this launch, and sincerely believe that this will mark a significant milestone by signaling a change of design expectations at the intersection of the audio and RV industries,” said Steve Bollero, president of RiverPark.
