Focal and Arkamys Branded Sound for Your Drive

Focal and Arkamys, two worldwide leaders in audio innovation, have joined forces to create an immersive and personalized in-car sound experience. This collaboration blends expertise in speaker manufacturing and audio software to offer drivers a premium branded sound signature tailored to their preference.

Today’s drivers demand more from their vehicles. Cars are no longer just modes of transportation—they’re extensions of our living spaces. The Focal by Arkamys collaboration answers the growing need for personalized, premium experiences for audiophiles and casual listeners alike by providing a branded audio solution that adapts to individual preferences. By integrating these features directly into the infotainment system, Focal and Arkamys deliver unparalleled convenience, control, and sound quality. 

The Focal Signature, integrated with Arkamys’ Premium Audio solution, delivers a unique listening experience. It enhances every detail of the audio, from crisp highs to deep, resonant bass, delivering a balanced, true-to-life sound that feels like being in a live performance. With Arkamys’ spatialization technology, and by maximizing the potential of a premium audio setup, the soundstage is carefully optimized for the cabin’s acoustics, creating an enveloping experience where every seat feels like the best seat in the car. 

Alexis Charbonnel, Deputy Executive Director of Arkamys, added:

This collaboration marks an exciting step toward the future of branded audio experiences in the automotive industry. By combining Arkamys’ advanced software with Focal’s iconic sound signature, we’re setting the foundation for scalable, customizable solutions that can bring premium sound to a wider range of vehicles and drivers worldwide.

This collaboration also offers drivers control over their audio experience. Whether it’s a family road trip or a solo drive, users can select audio profiles such as “All Passengers” for shared listening or “Front Optimized” to focus sound where it’s needed most. The system allows for precise adjustments to bass levels and immersion settings, giving users the freedom to tailor their in-car audio to match their mood or journey. 

Guillaume Buisson-Descombes, OEM Manager at Focal, added:

Focal has chosen Arkamys as a major partner in embedded audio software for bringing to the upper level its genuine approach, based on dedicated speaker driver development and careful in-car integration. Arkamys advanced algorithms and tuning skills allow us to sublimate the original physical high qualities of our acoustical systems.

At CES 2025, attendees will have the opportunity to experience this collaboration firsthand through an exclusive in-car demo. From advanced customization options to the seamless integration of branded audio, participants can see and hear the difference for themselves. The dashboard allows users to explore these features in real time, showcasing how effortless it is to elevate their in-car audio.
