Alto Aviation has expanded its components portfolio with the development of a new cabin audio solution supported by a new Alto Soundbar.
The Alto Soundbar has been designed and engineered in-house by the Alto engineering team to provide a new integrated cabin audio system for medium-size, large and VVIP business aircraft. Currently available in two sizes, 31in and 40in, the Alto Soundbar can fit under monitor screens or be installed as required by each cabin specification.
The Alto Soundbar includes three TSO-certified Alto ASP-250 loudspeakers; one Alto amplifier offering flexibility with AC or DC systems; and a number of Alto subwoofers depending on customisation and specifications for each aircraft. Alto said that two subwoofers provide a fully immersive listening experience, maximising sound quality while minimising distortion, and providing great output, efficiency and sensitivity. Enclosures can be customised with different colours and textures to match cabin schemes.
The Alto Soundbar is suitable for all configurations of Alto cabin audio systems, both for OEM and aftermarket installations. The company shared there had been several field-proven aftermarket installations, including on privately owned and operated aircraft, as well as large fleet/charter aircraft across platforms including BBJ 757, Bombardier Global Express, Embraer Lineage 1000E and Gulfstream aircraft.
“We are very excited about the positive feedback on the Alto Soundbar cabin audio system,” said Kevin Hayes, VP of sales and marketing at Alto Aviation. “Our authorised installers’ continued support and trust in our offering means everything to us. Knowing that we add value to their aircraft inspires us to continue providing new passenger-centric listening experiences, developing audio products and solutions designed with simplicity and unrivalled performance in mind.”
Alto Aviation is exhibiting the new Alto Soundbar at the AEA International Convention & Trade Show in Dallas, Texas, also offering personalised demonstrations of Alto MySound; exclusive seat-centric audio technology; and a full display of the Cadence Cabin Management System for all business aircraft.
