In the car, entertainment in Dolby Atmos goes beyond the ordinary listening experience, revealing details with unparalleled clarity and depth. For consumers, it unlocks new levels of emotion for them to enjoy their music, podcasts, movies, and more. Dolby Atmos can turn just about every vehicle into a space where drivers and passengers get even more out of their favorite entertainment.

BE 6 and XEV 9e boast 16 Harman Kardon speakers, which comes as standard with the vehicles. The speakers next to front seats are three-way speakers designed with a tweeter, mid-range, and a woofer. The centre is Harman’s patented Unity Speaker design and rear surround speakers are high fidelity mid-range. There is also a subwoofer and two speaker drivers in the ceiling which will help deliver an exceptional in-cabin audio experience with Dolby Atmos.
