The sound engineer
Natanya Ford has been playing the violin since she was a child. She’s still fascinated by its unique sound and emotive quality. Now she’s a sound engineer at Bang & Olufsen and a member of the Advanced Sound System team.
“The Advanced Sound System does for your car what Bang & Olufsen’s acclaimed BeoLab 5 has achieved for home listening,” she says. “It turns every piece of music into a unique audio experience.”
The inventor
Acoustic Lens Technology (ALT) ensures that the tone always remains the same, regardless of where you’re sitting. It provides uniform sound dispersion over a 180° angle. Sound technologist Manny LaCarrubba originated Acoustic Lens Technology. He says: “I’m delighted Bang & Olufsen has been able to use my invention to help transform a car interior into a mobile concert hall that does Beethoven justice. It puts the joy back into Ode to Joy.”
