Overview of the iXOOST Product Portfolio.
- ESAVOX Automobili Lamborghini: A high-end sound system created from the original Lamborghini exhaust, the ESAVOX features a carbon monocoque chassis, a passive vibration damping system, and a high-sensitivity 10-inch subwoofer. Its three 400 Watt amplifiers integrated with Bluetooth 5.0 Apt-X™ technology is complemented by remarkable automotive design. The ESAVOX is available in some of Lamborghini’s most iconic colour combinations: Green Gea, Grey Keres Matte, Orange Anthaeus, Red Epona, Blue Uranus and White Siderale.
- AVALÁN Automobili Lamborghini: The AVALÁNpairs original Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica exhausts with a hexagonal grille, encapsulating high-performance audio quality. Its 80-Watt Class D amplifiers power two one-inch tweeters and two five-inch drivers, creating a rich auditory experience. The AVALÁN is also available in iconic Lamborghini colour combinations: Viper Green Shiny – Contrast Bianco Isi Shiny, Blu Aegeus Matt – Contrast Blu Astraeus Matt, and Bianco Asopo Shiny – Contrast Viper Green shiny.
- AMG Performance Luxury Audio: A tribute to the AMG GT Black Series, the AMG Performance Luxury Audio is the first and only hi-fi system in the world to bear the AMG brand. This system sports a carbon fibre monocoque, aluminium grilles, the AMG GT exhaust design, as well as a dynamic range of two woofers, four tweeters and two bass reflexes for a 360-degree sound experience.
- Pirelli P ZERO™ Sound: Born from a unique collaboration between iXOOST and Formula 1 tyre manufacturer Pirelli, this system features a 130mm mid-woofer, a 25mm silk tweeter, housed within the real F1™ tyre; or for those who prefer smaller dimensions, the scale model of the famous wind tunnel tyre (WTT) born from Pirelli Design. The Pirelli P ZERO™ Sound is available in three distinct colours – yellow, red and white, all of which are used in the Pirelli F1® tyre range to distinguish the different racing compounds.
- XiLO: The ultimate expression of “made in Modena” craftsmanship, XiLO features a monocoque chassis in wood and aluminium, complemented by a hand-made exhaust manifold and is powered by a 2X100 + 1X200 Watts amplifier. Users can stream music files from smartphones, tablets and computers with the Bluetooth aptX™ technology, which converts sounds immediately, reproducing the audio as is was originally conceived.
- Radial 6: This system’s design, inspired by elements typical of the aeronautical world, features a unique combination of tweeters, midrange, and a woofer. One striking aspect of the Radial 6’s appearance is the perfect positioning of the speakers. The slightly backwards tilted position has a precise purpose: to distribute the sound uniformly around the dock, contributing to a solid three-dimensional look. Together with the lateral positioning of the tweeters, the sound comes across much more balanced and with an optimum stereophonic effect.
- KUBO Abarth 595 and KUBO Abarth 695: An exclusive audio system for fans of the Abarth world: a truly extraordinary hi-fi system, they incorporate a state-of-the-art Bluetooth™ speaker connected to the replica of the famous Record Monza exhaust, designed to celebrate the speed record obtained by Carlo Abarth on the historic Italian circuit. The Limited Edition 695 variant is also dedicated to the Scorpion’s 70th Anniversary. These systems are equipped with a microfibre dome tweeter and a single mid-range speaker, all powered by a 1×100 Watt amplifier.
- Bluetooth Speaker Helmets: These unique and highly-customisable helmets, tested in extreme conditions, are not just collector’s items but also high-fidelity sound systems, integrating advanced audio components in a compact design. The first of this series is the DOVI # 04 SOUND, a Bluetooth speaker made from the original SR-GP racing helmet that Suomy developed for Moto GP rider Andrea Dovizioso. In a separate collaboration with Bell Helmets® and with the approval of the Hunt family, iXOOST also crafted a Bluetooth speaker inside the original helmet of 1976 Formula 1 World Champion, James Hunt.
