We believe that 1 + 1 is greater than 2, that is, when two different elements or components are integrated, they usually perform better than when they are used separately. So, how will the integration of a speaker and an actuator surprise us?
AAC has developed the first innovative two-in-one product, the Combo, which integrates a speaker and an actuator. It excels in stacking, performance and user experience. The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is the first smartphone in the world to feature the Combo, which restructures the acoustic and haptic systems and inspires a new concept of spatial stacking.
Discover the new Note series: where evolution meets innovation. The new Redmi Note 13 series was released on September 21, setting the standard for a superior mid-range experience. The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ boasts more flagship features, which put rigorous demands on internal space stacking, especially on the sub-board.
To ensure excellent acoustic and haptic experiences, Redmi has partnered with AAC to customize and globally debut the Combo-powered Note 13 Pro+. This product offers both flagship-quality audio and haptic sensations while optimizing stacking space. It achieves a synergy where 1 + 1 is greater than 2, leading the industry in new directions with more options.
01 A New Trend in Integration: Combining Acoustics and Haptics to Go Beyond the Limits of Spatial Stacking
The Combo integrates a speaker and an actuator in the Note 13 Pro+ model, saving 15% of space. This innovation not only makes the device more compact but also creates extra room for upgrading other functional modules. Redmi has maximized this precious space for all-encompassing empowerment, enabling two flagship features: a dual-curved screen and IP68 dust and water resistance.
How does the AAC Combo integrate acoustics and haptics?
Structural Design
The Combo has been meticulously crafted by AAC engineers. The structure of similar components in the Super Liner Speaker and the high-performance X-axis actuator are cleverly combined through a modular design, thereby minimizing the total volume by 15%.
Functionality
The Combo is more than a simple stack of speaker and actuator components. It is the simultaneous and independent operation of these components in a shared magnetic circuit that makes the Combo special. This product offers a revolutionary concept in component integration.
02 A Sensory Revolution: Where 1 + 1 > 2, Delivering Premium Acoustic and Haptic Experiences
In addition to saving space, the Combo offers an enhanced experience where 1 + 1 exceeds 2.
The Combo is powered by AAC’s master-level speaker technology, which gives the Note 13 Pro+ better sound quality than its predecessor. It has a 2 dB boost in low frequencies, enabling stronger bass tones and richer midrange vocals. It also features AAC’s original NLC algorithm, which improves low-frequency clarity by 100%. Due to its enhanced audio clarity, the Note 13 Pro+ substantially optimizes the sound experience for users in games, multimedia applications, and calls. By using the aforementioned speaker, the Note 13 Pro+ delivers superior stereo sound and an immersive audio experience.
The Combo boasts haptic performance that rivals high-performance X-axis actuators. It delivers robust, detailed, and realistic haptic feedback. It uses the RichTap® haptic solution and covers a wide range of haptic ecosystems in the industry. Users can easily enjoy more than a thousand high-quality haptic effects in games, multimedia applications, social interactions, and the MIUI system, all within the palm of their hands.
Moreover, the Combo is highly reliable due to AAC’s leading acoustic and haptic hardware and software technologies, efficient resource mobilization, and strong mass production and delivery capabilities. Device manufacturers can use this technology platform to improve their product assembly efficiency and reduce resource investment.
As a leader in sensory experience solutions, AAC has been revolutionizing audio technology and sound experiences in micro acoustics for 22 years. AAC has achieved the mass production of the world’s first X-axis linear actuator, establishing itself as a major supplier of X-axis linear actuators worldwide.
Exploring with a holistic mindset, AAC launched the Combo, an innovative technology platform that provides excellent stacking and performance for the ultimate experience. This product has enabled the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ to achieve a synergy where 1 + 1 is greater than 2. The industry’s traditional mindset of using speakers and actuators separately has been overturned. The Combo not only accelerates the widespread adoption of high-quality acoustic and haptic experiences but also leads the upgrade of electroacoustic and electromagnetic solutions, setting a new industry benchmark.
AAC will continue to provide tailored product solutions and inject new vitality into the electroacoustic and electromagnetic industries. By doing so, we can create a better sensory experience for the world.
