Spirit Aeronautics completes industry's first retrofit of revolutionary new cabin sound system

Spirit Aeronautics is pleased to announce that its team has completed the first aftermarket installation of the Bongiovi aviation speaker-less audio system in a business class aircraft. The project aircraft that received this new system is a Dassault Falcon 7X.

This new audio technology provides the highest fidelity, state of the art cabin entertainment sound, resulting in a fully immersive audio experience throughout the entire aircraft cabin. The customised interior theme is maintained without the disruption of speaker grills, and the audio system space is minimised by the elimination of speakers.

The complete project required new engineering and technical support to include all engineering, kitting and aircraft modifications to upgrade the aircraft cabin entertainment system in the aircraft. The retrofit work included an all new state of the art cabin entertainment system, a satellite communications system, window shades, Wi Fi router, new video monitors and the Bongiovi system. All airworthiness certification services were provided and the ground and flight test plans were completed without any discrepancies.

Rick Ochs CEO of Spirit Aeronautics comments, “This project was a challenging yet extremely rewarding delivery of a leading-edge cabin electronics design for business and charter aircraft. The Bongiovi technical team was very helpful in the integration of their technology into the cabin management system. Our team delivered on my promise to the client to make his audio and media system dreams come true. They deserve so much credit for achieving such impressive results. This cabin entertainment system surpasses any business class aircraft cabin system flying today for ease of use,mo while it provides audiophile level sound quality of the highest order.”
