4 Technology & Acoustic Science Our signature ALTO Entertainment System (AES) offers a complete audio system with custom equalization specific to your aircraft model and floor plan. ALTO Aviation manufactures the only system in the industry that mitigates the challenges of the harsh cabin environment to achieve the best sonic performance. Our innovative design approach involves: Complete acoustic mapping of the aircraft cabin. Careful selection of system components, and guidance in optimal cabin installation. Proprietary computer analysis to determine the optimal system configuration. Customization of amplifiers to ensure the perfect tonal balance and dynamic audio reproduction. Integration of advanced features such as nvelop digital surround sound. Audio Aircraft System Design Business jet owners are some of the world s most demanding customers and expect their aircraft to meet the highest audio standards. Aircraft audio systems require special consideration to size, weight, and the challenging acoustics of the cabin interior. Custom designed speakers and electronics are needed to overcome the negative effects of these factors. All parts of the system must be optimized with the entire system

in mind and not just designed as individual components. ALTO Aviation has developed sophisticated proprietary design software specifically for that purpose.

5 in mind and not just designed as individual components. ALTO Aviation has developed sophisticated proprietary design software specifically for that purpose. Acoustic Mapping Our software has allowed us to acoustically map the interior of an aircraft and create a mock-up in our computer database. The audio system is also modeled, and the interaction between all of the components and the aircraft itself can be predicted. This allows us to choose the optimum speaker, as well as speaker location, and model specialized electronic hardware in the computer without having to build them. ALTO nvelop Digital Surround Sound An amazing center stage experience at 40,000 ft. ALTO Aviation signature sound system is designed to enhance all cabin listening experiences and envelop every seat in rich sound. Surround amplifiers and speakers add spatial enhancements to bring full movie and live concert experiences to all seats in the cabin. ALTO offers custom equalization specific to every aircraft model and floor plan. We manufacture the only system that mitigates the challenges of the harsh cabin environment. This allows us to achieve the best sonic performance. The result is revolutionary. We have all the corporate jet signatures stored in our data base, as well as many of the BBJ and Airbus signatures. Just tell us which aircraft you operate, send us the cabin floor plan, and we ll take care of the rest.
