Huawei’s high-definition spatial audio is “available in the car” for the first time, creating an immersive cockpit music experience!

The wheels are rolling, the music is flowing, what's more satisfying than loading a big theater into your car?

On April 17, 2023, Huawei's nova11 series and full-scenario new product launch conference was held in Shanghai. A "big thing" was announced at this conference - the new model AITO Wenjie M5 series smart driving version supports spatial audio function.

Different from cooperation with brand audio in the industry, the spatial audio experience brought by Wenjie M5 series smart driving version is presented in close cooperation and in-depth adjustment with HUAWEI SOUND following the cooperation between Huawei Music and HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro and Mate 50 series. Effect.

Yispatial  Audio "comes on board"  Huawei for the first time to reshape cockpit music experience

In the past, when we evaluated car audio, the speaker brand and configuration, whether the playback effect in the car was shocking, and whether there was surround sound were all important indicators that car enthusiasts paid attention to. Huawei's high-definition spatial audio, from sound source quality to equipment adaptation to algorithm tuning, can satisfy car enthusiasts' concerns at once and create the best immersive listening effect for the M5 Smart Driving Edition.

First of all, the sound source of high-definition spatial audio is remastered based on the Audio Vivid audio standard, which can restore and present details that cannot be heard in ordinary stereo audio content, making the presentation of the entire music more complete and rich; and making these sounds more Elements have positions to build a grand three-dimensional sound field, breaking through the limitations of planes and plane-based surround.

Secondly, what is fascinating is the 19 irregularly arranged high, mid and low speakers in the car, which provide the basic capabilities of the terminal hardware for spatial audio. Huawei spatial audio uses virtual sound and image positioning technology to build a spherical three-dimensional space in the car. Sound can surround you from all directions, just like the sound and layout effects of a high-end recording studio are virtually constructed. The car is like a moving "music machine" castle".

In the past, the sound field options for listening to music in the car only provided the front, center, and rear of the cockpit. However, Huawei's cockpit high-definition spatial audio can clearly feel the sound movement trajectory during playback, making everyone in the cockpit feel at the center of the music.

The pursuit of the best listening experience in the cockpit, on the one hand, is due to Huawei's ability to better release hardware performance and restore the true effect of audio through the combination of software and hardware. On the other hand, it is Huawei's progress in the research and application of audio technology. These effects can be achieved only because Huawei provides a complete set of high-definition spatial audio solutions. Based on the content sources of Huawei music, the Hongmeng operating system of the car and the ecological advantages of HUAWEI SOUND audio equipment, in-depth adjustments of software and hardware can achieve the desired effect in the cockpit. The effect of immersive listening. This is also different from the panoramic sound and immersive sound solutions available in the industry.

The second cockpit space audio zone is launched simultaneously, allowing music to accompany different travel scenarios.

After experiencing the spatial audio zone of the Wenjie M5 series smart driving version, "Explosive Technology" was most impressed by the fact that the music is no longer a flat 360°, but a three-dimensional surround, which restores many sound details, such as some musical instrument soundtracks or The chirping of insects can be clearly heard, and its original position and effect can be clearly identified. This cannot be felt in ordinary cockpit music. For example, the spatial audio version of "Bluebirds" played by Tanya Tsai slightly at the beginning The hoarse voice creates a relatively desolate and distant sound field, combined with the blowing sand, the shrill sound and the percussive drum beats. In addition, the Wenjie M5 series smart driving version has very good NVH, which isolates external sound interference. It instantly creates the feeling of standing in the middle of the desert, with wind and sand blowing around, and a bluebird freely searching for its dreams.

As a professional music platform, Huawei Music's spatial audio area can provide music covering diverse styles such as pop, classical, Chinese style, ambient sound, and film and television drama OSTs. In addition, it also provides carefully designed scene-based playlists, allowing users to customize their music according to their needs. Choose music based on your preferences and mood.

For example, when you are commuting and the traffic jam has already made you physically and mentally exhausted, you can choose the "Commute Story" playlist at this time. The pleasant melody is enough to relieve the anxiety caused by waiting for the traffic light.

And if you are a self-driving enthusiast, you can choose the "Self-Driving Guide" playlist when traveling. It includes a variety of genres, from pop music to rock music, and let the music accompany you throughout the journey!

In addition, Huawei Music not only provides spatial audio content services for the Wenjie models released this time, but also provides high-quality content for some models of Huawei mobile phones, tablets, and smart screens. With the support of multiple terminals, users can seamlessly Seamlessly listen to spatial audio, truly allowing music to accompany you in different travel scenarios.

3. Empower art with technology and use technology to innovate art experience

A good product requires technical polishing and even more time.

Today, Huawei Music has expanded its services to multi-terminal devices in all scenarios. With the powerful interconnection capabilities of the HarmonyOS ecosystem, it will also be possible for all Huawei terminal products to enjoy spatial audio.

In the era of pursuing high-quality experience, Huawei Music has been committed to promoting technological innovation, providing users with the best listening experience, and using technology to empower artistic creators to better create high-quality music, such as the newly released Wenjie M5 series smart phones. The spatial audio of the driving version provides artistic creators with a new music creation scene; in addition, users are also liberated from the previous single scene of listening to songs, further extending "mobile phone time" to "full scene time", allowing users to Everyone can immerse themselves in their own music world and freely shuttle among different melodies.

All of this is in line with Huawei's "user-centered, experience-first" philosophy that we have always adhered to. Let's look forward to a more immersive and diverse music experience together!
