Omni-fi by Lufthansa Technik

Omni-Fi revolutionises in-flight audio by combining superior sound quality with seamless integration into aircraft interiors. Designed in close cooperation with the loudspeaker specialist and founder of the company A.T.E. Norman Gerkinsmeyer, this innovative speaker system employs cutting-edge omnidirectional audio technology and an ultra-slim design to deliver exceptional performance without compromising the cabin’s aesthetic.Its flexible membrane conforms to the cabin’s interior lining, allowing it to be coated to match any material, from leather to Alcantara or decorative foil, making the speakers virtually invisible. Unlike traditional speakers with intrusive grilles, Omni-Fi blends effortlessly with the aircraft’s interior design. The speaker technology uses a unique magnet system and voice coil, driving a foam and foil sandwich membrane to create ringmode waves across its surface. This results in rapid impulse response and precise audio reproduction. Designers can create sleek cabins without visible speakers, acousticians can freely position speakers, and integrators can simplify installation with a slim, lightweight design. Omni-Fi surpasses traditional trim-panel speakers by eliminating vibrations and rattling noises, ensuring a quieter flight. Its superior sound localisation is ideal for multichannel setups, while flexible positioning provides greater installation versatility. With an efficiency rating of 92dB/1W, Omni-Fi reduces installation complexity and costs, requiring fewer units for small to medium sized business jet cabins.
