During the Geneva motorshow, Renault has introduced his new Megane Cabriolet. As the other versions of Megane, this convertible is equipped with the 3D Sound by Arkamys audio system. A pleasure car for enjoying the 3D Sound by Arkamys.

The new SM3 has been marketed in South Korea since July 2009.
The success of the project is due to an effective collaboration between the Renault, Samsung Motors and Arkamys teams in which Arkamys’ spatialisation technology was adapted for RSM vehicles.

On the occasion of the new Renault Scenic launching, a serie of advertissements stage the famous video game characters Raving Rabbits. They test all the new features in the Renault Scenic, including the 3D Sound by Arkamys audio system. As you can see in the video, the Rabbits approve the 3D Sound by Arkamys !

Eric Cantona, the famous actor and football player, acts in the last Renault advertising about the Laguna.  With his usual sens of humour, Cantona talks about his favorite new features in the Laguna and specially the 3D sound by Arkamys.

With its financially affordable state-of-the-art technology, a technology that will be found in several million Renault vehicles over the next 5 years, Arkamys captured the attention of the IE Club. This association was created with the aim of promoting collaborations between large companies and start-ups and, every year, acknowledges the most outstanding partnerships.

This year, the IE Club delivers the award to the dynamic Arkamys Renault duo by naming them winners of the Marketing category.
A promising start for a collaboration that began with equipping the Mégane and the Laguna coupé with 3D Sound by Arkamys.

In response to customer demand, Renault identified two priorities for its new range of audio systems: high sound quality and connectivity. New Mégane Hatch and New Mégane Coupé are both available with the ‘Classic’ 60W radio with single CD player, mp3 playback and RCA socket.
For customers looking for a higher quality listening experience, Renault has joined forces with the digital sound processing specialist Arkamys. This partnership has led to the development of the 3D Sound by Arkamys system which is unique on the automotive market and poised to become the Renault core range’s new audio benchmark.

Arkamys’ tailor-developed digital sound processing software incorporated in the radio enables optimized quality sound.

The 3D Sound by Arkamys system features:

• A radio and eight loudspeakers, characteristics.

• Arkamys digital sound processing which delivers three-dimensional sound (spatialization) and superior reproduction tailored to match the specific properties and materials of the cabin

• A total power output of 140W with reduced risk of the sort of saturation and distortion generally associated with listening at high volumes,

• Optimized radio reception thanks to a dual aerial set-up.

Connectivity also takes pride of place on New Renault Mégane thanks to the standard RCA/auxiliary socket located on the centre console which enables occupants to enjoy personal music collections stored on portable players. The Plug & Music option enables the driver to scroll through the functions of portable players (USB key, iPod®, etc.) using the car’s own steering wheel-mounted finger-tip remote controls, with menus and play lists shown remotely on the dashboard display.

Four-wheel drive, two high-end navigation systems… but these are just two of the high-tech innovative touches to be found in the Laguna coupé. The new Renault coupé is also offering the series-built 3D Sound by Arkamys system across all finishes. Eight speakers with a total output of 140W give driver and passengers alike the benefit of an audio processing system housed directly within the car radio. Next to the Renault Mégane, it’s the second Renault model to be kitted out in such a way.

Officially presented at the Paris Motor Show 2008, the new Renault Mégane is equipped with high-tech devices never before seen in a compact saloon, including the Arkamys audio spatialisation system. Present in most models, 3D Sound by Arkamys is directly installed in the vehicle’s radio. Dedicated menus within the radio’s control screen or navigation system permit the user to adjust the performance of the device based on the number of occupants.
