With forward-looking design and accessible technology, Avatr is dedicated to creating an intelligent life for you beyond travel. Avatr aims to become “your most emotional smart companion”

Avatr vehicles are inspired by how people relate to nature and real life, defined by a holistic user experience, balancing contrasts to create excitement and richness in multiple layers

Sound significantly influences the experience of luxury, and, together with Avatr technologies, Meridian has considered every auditory element within Avatr vehciles to deliver an immersive, refined, and enjoyable listening experience

Horizon

Meridian Horizon is an upmixing technology providing immersive multichannel audio from two channel stereo content, configured for any loudspeaker layout. Providing a truly enveloping and immersive listening experience.

RE-Q

Meridian RE-Q is a Cabin Correction technology that removes unwanted cabin resonances, preserving the natural rhythm and timing of the performance. Bass becomes smooth, deep and balanced.

Intelli-Q

Meridian Intelli-Q is Data-Driven Equalisation that optimises audio playback within the cabin based on data available from the vehicle such as speed, window state, occupancy and audio source. This ensures all occupants in the vehicle enjoy optimal audio experience at all times.

The new all-electric compact SUV from Avatr featuring a Meridian Sound System,
the Avatr 11 is a smart and dynamic experience with cutting-edge technology and outstanding performance. The Meridian sound system connects all occupants of the vehicle with the emotions of the original musical performance. 

HIGH END SYSTEM BY MERIDIAN

For Avatr, Meridian developed a 25 speaker system with a 2,016 watt amplifier and five EQ (equalisation) modes. The driver’s seat includes two headrest speakers for additional immersion and to enhance the clarity of telephone calls, navigation commands audio safety signals.

Loudspeakers integrate seamlessly within the vehicle and combine with our precision digital technologies to
deliver a premium, authentic and immersive audio experience. 

"Our systems provide an audio experience that is authentic, lifelike and natural, but that’s just the starting point. Tech companies see the in-car experience in a new way, exploring how sound touches so many aspects of luxury. It isn’t just about adding features, it’s about making the entire in-car experience feel immersive with luxury at every touch point, and sound is a vital part of that."

John Buchanan - CEO at Meridian Audio

Digital Precision

Meridian Digital Precision maximises the signal-to-noise ratio of the digital audio, ensuring the finest details of every song are retained.

Perfect Balance

Meridian Perfect Balance technology ensures that as the volume of the system varies there is no perceived loss of low and high frequencies, and spectral balance is maintained at all volume levels.

True time

True Time is Meridian's proprietary apodising filter that avoids pre-ringing and cleans up the effects of early filters, converting pre-echo to post-echo.

"Our proprietary technology reacts to the profile of the background noise, for example increasing the low and mid ranges as tyre noise becomes more prominent with speed or rougher road textures. This gives us a managed acoustic environment onto which we can build an immersive, captivating listening experience"

Paul Andrews - Director of Sales at EbM
