Luxury Transportation: JetVan for the Jet Set
June 1, 2005
The
best
part of the JetVan is its custom-designed interior: a
state-of-the-art mobile
office married to a top-of-the-line home
theater—an executive jet for the road.
“The substantial application of
lightweight aviation materials is apparent in
our work,” Becker says.
“Until now few have been used in automobile conversions,
partly because
we’re innovating and partly because of the expense of those
materials.
We’re not trying to outdo our customers’ private jets or luxury cars,
but we are trying to provide a seamless transition from one to the
other. A
vehicle like this looks and feels like the rest of their world
while fulfilling
their needs for room, privacy, and
function.; function voidFunc() { } voidFunc();)
One thing Becker learned along
the way is how to
please A-list artists such as Burt Bacharach, Cher, and Barbra
Streisand. “They’re not just kicking back and enjoying music or a
movie,” he
says. “They’re listening to their own stuff and dissecting
it. To say that they’re critical would be very accurate,
so we have
been well schooled in how to satisfy their standards. We got schooled
in video as well by some of the entertainment industry’s top
performers,
managers, producers, and directors. (Click imatge to enlarge)
The outcome is
that we can compete well
with a high-quality home entertainment
environment,” he continues. “The music
can be powerful but must be
stress-free—good at high volume but very accurate,
very rich, and very
comfortable to listen to. That’s what our customers expect
video-wise
as well.
In the 1980s, the company began developing and building
its own parametric equalizers for acoustically tuning each vehicle’s
interior.
“When we’re finished,” he says, “it’s what the entertainment
industry calls
‘voicing a room.’ Once you’ve got the basic room as good
as you can get it, the
next step is to correct any problems, which has
been done with parametric
equalization in sound studios, theaters and
high-quality home environments for a
generation. It’s the guy in the
back of the concert with the big mixing board—an
absolutely vital
element.
