Case Study: HARMAN International improves automotive audio design with COMSOL Multiphysics

Harman International equips 80% of luxury cars with audio systems using Comsol

Harman International, a market leader in automotive audio systems, faced the challenge of designing unique audio setups for different vehicle types, where factors like speaker placement and cabin geometry greatly affect sound quality. They needed a way to refine designs efficiently before building physical prototypes. To address this, they turned to simulation software from vendor Comsol.

Using the mechanical, acoustic, and electrical simulation capabilities of COMSOL Multiphysics, the team at Harman implemented and fine-tuned their audio system designs in a virtual environment. This solution from Comsol improved the quality and speed of their development process, shortened turnaround times, and lowered the cost of design changes, allowing Harman to deliver superior audio systems more efficiently.
