Warwick Acoustics Car Audio Transducers Help Eliminate Rare Earth Elements Usage

Warwick Acoustics is working with a number of notable car manufacturers to support the elimination of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) from their vehicles by promoting the use of its ‘zero-REE’ Electroacoustic panels. As high-profile car manufacturers and OEMs are aiming to eliminate REEs in their vehicles, the UK-based audio company says that elements commonly used in audio systems, such as neodymium and dysprosium, typically make up to 30% of REE content still remaining in new-generation electric vehicles.

Following successful R&D and product development phases, Warwick Acoustics has entered 2023 with an accelerating program to commercialize its electroacoustic panel technology, focusing on the automotive industry. Warwick Acoustics is hiring and investing in facilities to support the substantial commercial pipeline under development. Warwick's electroAcoustic panels, already proven in high-end headphones, are now ready for car audio applications.

Warwick Acoustics already achieved significant recognition with its unique electrostatic transducers, currently used in the world's best sounding headphones (unfortunately also the most expensive and only available with a dedicated amplifier and electronics). Now, the UK-based audio technology company says that it is primed to disrupt the $8 billion in-car audio market with its ultra-light and low-power patented electrostatic technology, key in modern automotive systems.
