Maschinenfabrik KRONE and technology company recalm, which specialises
in acoustic solutions, have entered into a strategic partnership to
improve health and comfort and reduce dangerous noise in the driver’s
cab. KRONE has also invested in recalm via Silver Crown Capital.
Thanks to recalm’s unique Active Noise Cancelling technology called
ANCOR, a significant reduction in noise levels and a completely new
dimension of entertainment, communication and comfort in the driver’s
cab will be possible in the future.
The retrofittable ANCOR system is installed on the headrest and works
with several microphones and speakers. The microphones record the
existing ambient noise, while the speakers emit sound signals in
anti-phase. As a result, the sound waves cancel each other out and
low-frequency, disturbing sounds are suppressed.
What’s special: ANCOR works in the free field, i.e. without headphones,
and creates a “quiet zone” of 20 to 30 centimeters in diameter around
the driver’s head, in which the machine noise is significantly reduced.
“Together with recalm, we want to revolutionize comfort and
communication in the cab and significantly reduce unhealthy noise for
the driver,” says Guido Ringling, MD, Silver Crown Capital.
