The new Kronach laboratory will further product development initiatives with the addition of two major acoustic chambers, listening studios, a control room, numerous development labs, a benchmarking facility and engineering offices, as well as presentation areas, meeting rooms and a customer centre. This facility is targeted to open in the first half of next year.
