"We are excited to be integrating Meridian's authentic and natural sound in the EV9. Every element of the interior has been designed with passenger convenience in mind, and this collaboration provides a premium sound experience for our customers."
Byungchul Cho, Head of Product Planning at Kia
Electric vehicles naturally have quieter interiors, giving Meridian engineers the perfect environment to showcase our acoustic expertise. Meridian engineers adjust frequency and timing processing to optimise for each vehicle's acoustic characteristics. Music retains detail, phone calls stay intelligible, and navigation remains distinct - without engine noise to compete with.
Kia built its reputation on key fundamentals: practical design, reliable engineering, honest value. This approach took them from a small Korean company to a global automotive force. Meridian's engineering matches this philosophy. Each Kia model receives specific design and tuning - the EV9's spacious cabin requires a different acoustic treatment than the EV6's focused interior. Same audio quality, tailored for each model.
"We worked very closely with Kia's development teams to create a tailored audio system, which provides passengers with a truly captivating listening experience."
John Buchanan, CEO of Meridian Audio.
