Resonado Labs Announces Flat Core Speaker Technology Debut in Airstream Touring Coaches

February 3 2021, 00:45
Resonado Labs announced its proprietary Flat Core Speaker (FCS) technology will soon be available to consumers in the recreational vehicle (RV) industry. The novel speaker technology developed by the Chicago-based audio startup will first be implemented in iconic travel brand Airstream's 2022 Touring Coach model line. The launch will represent the first commercial implementation of FCS technology into an established consumer product line, and in automotive audio.
 

Flat Core Speaker (FCS) technology is hitting the market at a time when everything is becoming sleeker, more efficient, and increasingly immersive. Challenging the ubiquity of the century-old conventional conical speaker type, whose form is recognized globally as the volume icon, Resonado says its FCS technology was engineered as a fully scalable sustainable alternative that packs a larger sound into a smaller space enabling unprecedented design innovation. "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, 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," explains 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 designed custom speakers built with the company’s patented technology to seamlessly integrate into RVs. FCS technology’s slim yet powerful characteristics enabled a sound system with a beautiful, unobtrusive design that occupies minimal real estate, a key value proposition for an RV, a vehicle that doubles as a home with every essential amenity for travelers. The technology’s form factor also enables the speakers to be placed in previously impossible locations, ideal for a more immersive sound experience. 

Resonado Labs partnered with RiverPark, a leading 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. 
 

Airstream current offers its famous travel trailers that have become an American icon since the 1930s. The second product line, now in very high demand to be used as "office on wheels", are the Airstream touring coaches, a result of a partnership with Mercedes-Benz. The inside of a trailer or touring coach Airstream cabin offers the ultimate level of comfort, technology, and mobile convenience.

"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," says Steve Bollero, President of RiverPark.
