Audfly, a company exploring directed audio technologies, announce the integration of its groundbreaking Focusound Screen technology in Lenovo’s latest ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 6 All-in-One (AIO) desktop. Unveiled at CES 2025, this innovative solution redefines workplace audio by providing sound privacy and enhanced clarity, all while delivering a personalized listening experience. At CES 2025, the Chinese company demonstrated multiple other directional audio solutions.
The Lenovo ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 6 offers a 27-inch QHD display with ultra-thin bezels, and meets requirements for high-performance computing needs across industries such as creative design, healthcare, and business. With a full-function ergonomic stand, and Eyesafe-certified low blue light technology, the M90a Pro Gen 6 also offers a comfortable, versatile, and durable experience. Enriched features like Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, support for multiple 4K monitors, and an integrated tiltable and swiveling camera with AI-powered noise suppression make the M90a Pro Gen 6 an ideal hub for seamless team interactions, both in-office and remote. Powered by an Intel Core Ultra processor, an optional discrete NPU and an optional NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 GPU for intense visual tasks, the AIO desktop is also a productivity booster thanks to its unique audio technology.
The Lenovo M90a Pro Gen 6 comes with unique features such as Audfly's Focusound Screen technology, a directional sound system that delivers privacy by targeting audio directly to the user’s position, eliminating the need for headphones during online meetings. This industry-first, transparent, film-based directional sound solution is completely integrated into the AIO display, and the screen itself becomes the speaker, delivering focused, private audio directly to the user.
Optimized by Lenovo’s AI engine, the solution continuously calibrates sensors, adjusting for volume, direction and other factors to help ensure privacy. This allows users to experience crystal-clear sound while maintaining sound privacy, making it perfect for shared spaces, video calls, and professional environments. Adding to its privacy and security, it comes with ultrasound Human Presence Detection 2.0, which helps protect data by automatically locking the screen when users step away from the desk.
The Lenovo ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 6 with Audfly’s Focusound Screen technology is certified by SGS for its sound privacy and clarity enhancement capabilities. These certifications confirm that the system meets the highest industry standards, delivering a premium listening experience while protecting user privacy.
“We are excited to collaborate with Lenovo to bring our directional sound technology to the ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 6,” says Zhen Li, CEO of Audfly. “This partnership underscores our commitment to enhancing the audio-visual experience for users, providing smart devices with the ability to deliver precise, clear, and immersive sound. Together, we are revolutionizing the way people experience audio in professional environments.”
Founded in 2015, Audfly Technology is a Chinese company focused on integrating directional sound to deliver precise, immersive sound solutions that cater to a range of use cases. At CES 2025, Audfly also demonstrated how these directional sound solutions can play a key role in shaping the future of exhibition experiences, enhancing visitor engagement and ensuring clear communication in complex, noisy environments.
According to Audfly engineers, at large-scale events like CES, where multiple exhibitors and high levels of ambient noise are the norm, the ability to focus sound precisely on targeted areas is invaluable. Directional sound technology allows audio to be directed to specific spots in the exhibition hall, ensuring clear communication without disturbing nearby attendees.
The company also demonstrated a laptop with Audfly’s Focusound Screen technology, showcasing directional sound emitted from the screen, directly to the user. This transparent film-based directional sound solution has the potential to transform the integration of audio into consumer electronics.
