Read moreFree Audio Upgrade Brings Abbey Road Sound to Volvo EX90
EX90 owners are getting free access to Abbey Road Studios Mode, a sound technology that recreates the acoustic signature of the world's most famous recording studio. This over-the-air update delivers professional-grade audio customization at no cost to current owners.
The update adds real value for EX90 drivers who chose the Bowers & Wilkins audio system. Instead of requiring new hardware or expensive retrofits, this software update transforms existing audio capabilities into something entirely new in automotive history.
Producer Mode: Your Personal Sound Engineer
Producer Mode puts recording studio controls directly at your fingertips. This advanced feature lets you adjust acoustic environments, stereo field width, and sound character just like a professional audio engineer working in Abbey Road's famous mixing rooms.
The vintage-to-modern slider changes your music's overall character. Move toward vintage for warm, analog-style sound reminiscent of classic recordings, or shift toward modern for crisp, detailed digital reproduction. The stereo field controls let you create intimate, focused soundstages or expansive, room-filling audio experiences.
These customization options work with any music source, from streaming services to your personal music library. The system processes audio in real-time, applying Abbey Road's acoustic modeling to transform how every song sounds in your EX90's cabin.
The Technology Behind the Magic
Abbey Road Studios Mode uses advanced digital signal processing to recreate the studio's unique acoustic characteristics. The technology analyzes how sound behaves in Abbey Road's recording spaces, then applies these acoustic properties to your EX90's audio system.
The system includes multiple preset configurations, each capturing different aspects of Abbey Road's sonic signature. These presets were developed through detailed acoustic analysis of the studio's various recording rooms, from intimate vocal booths to large orchestral spaces.
Bowers & Wilkins engineers worked directly with Abbey Road's audio specialists to ensure accurate translation of these complex acoustic environments. The result is authentic recreation of studio acoustics rather than simple equalization adjustments.
Why the EX90 Was Perfect for This Innovation
The EX90's audio foundation made this collaboration possible. The vehicle features 25 strategically positioned speakers powered by a 1610-watt Bowers & Wilkins system, providing the hardware capability needed for complex acoustic processing.
Volvo designed the EX90's cabin as one of their quietest ever, creating an ideal environment for high-fidelity audio reproduction. This acoustic isolation ensures that Abbey Road's subtle acoustic characteristics aren't masked by road noise or wind interference.
The vehicle's advanced computing power enables real-time processing of Abbey Road's complex audio algorithms. This processing capability ensures that the acoustic modeling works seamlessly with any audio source without latency or quality compromise.
Professional Studio Quality Without the Studio Price
Abbey Road Studios Mode delivers professional recording studio acoustics to your daily commute. This technology represents a new era in automotive audio, where the boundaries between studio and vehicle have essentially disappeared.
