Harman Debuts QuantumLogic Surround System in Ferrari FF

While receiving the Ferrari 2011 Innovation Award, Harman introduced the QuantumLogic surround-sound technology with the Italian sports carmaker, making the new FF model the first production vehicle to include this unique technology.

“This honor from Ferrari represents the great collaboration our two companies have in creating the next generation of audio and telematic systems luxury car buyers expect,” said Dinesh C. Paliwal, Chairman, President and CEO of HARMAN. “We worked closely with Ferrari to make QuantumLogic an integral part of the new FF model, using technology to enhance the experience in what is truly a world-class performance vehicle.”

QuantumLogic surround technology uses audio algorithms to extract signal streams and impulse responses from the original recording. Individual voices and instruments, as well as embedded reverberant spatial information, are identified and then re-authored into a precise multi-channel soundstage.

Unique to QuantumLogic is its “aesthetic engine,” which combines the individual signal streams and patented spatial filter bank technology with psycho-acoustic modeling for transparent digital processing and perfect acoustic reconstruction.

“The world premiere of the JBL Professional QuantumLogic surround sound system in the new FF represents a new milestone in our partnership with the legendary Italian sports car manufacturer,”
said Dinesh C. Paliwal, Chairman, President and CEO of HARMAN. “With our uncompromising determination to capture every detail of the sound experience, together we have reached new heights in audio signal processing and sound quality. The HARMAN JBL Professional brand represents decades of experience in reproducing audio in the world’s best concert halls and performance venues, and QuantumLogic helps brings that immersive, surround sound experience to the interior of the Ferrari.”
