BMW Unveils Immersive Car Audio System HypersonX
The BMW Group has launched its hypersonic immersive car audio system, developed by the company's in-house sound design studio. This cutting-edge system, named HypersonX, utilizes a large dataset of over 900 million acoustic samples and advanced algorithms to capture and preserve the unique voice profiles of BMW vehicles for new generations of cars.
According to insiders, the BMW new generation of cars is expected to debut in the 2025 third quarter (previously planned for September's Frankfurt Motor Show). The HypersonX immersive audio system will be launched along with the new car lineup at that time.
Developed by BMW Group sound design studio from the ground up – from low-level acoustic algorithms to advanced control systems – this system leverages BMW's proprietary technology platform. The system was trained using over 900 million based-on-brand-voice-pattern samples, resulting in 43 finely-tuned unique sound signals to create a rich immersive acoustic experience tailored to new generations of BMW cars.
This revolutionary immersive audio system has a deep appreciation for both the aesthetic and artistic qualities – combining natural timbre with highly structured structural style. It offers precise control over hue, depth and precision, thus delivering engaging emotional resonance within auditory waves. Furthermore, HypersonX is distinguished by sophisticated welcoming sound effects crafted by BMW designers using multi-languages.
Every vehicle takeoff sounds warm, inviting – enriching the journey experience that can be compared to an orchestrated celebration.
BMW new generation cars will feature a harmonious integration of the advanced immersive audio system with the sleek, intuitive intelligent cockpit's interactive display. Alongside clear navigation features and precision-crafted lighting effects combined with the perfect level of warmth in the cabin design, these elements create a delightful sensory experience for passengers.
By incorporating spatial control to adjust sounds within vehicle context, each passenger will be entirely immersed into HypersonX sonic environment during any drive mode.
A new digital platform for operations built upon a cutting-edge electronic powertrain architecture supports innovative acoustic system integration.
This milestone development in sound technology results in an all-new sensory dimension for the automotive user experience. Through integrating all aspects of a full-featured smart cockpit platform – BMW introduces Hypersonic immersive sound experience as the distinct audio signature hallmark of its latest vehicle line."
