Wally has collaborated with audio equipment manufacturers McIntosh and Sonus Faber, to provide a custom installation by the brands on its Wallywhy200 model.
“We are very excited to unveil our latest collaboration with Sonus Faber and McIntosh,” says Wally’s managing director Stefano de Vivo. “Our goal is to provide our owners with the best innovative solutions on board, to ensure maximum comfort and pleasure.
“There is a real, tangible synergy between our companies, and I can’t wait to show the results onboard the Wallywhy200.”
The Monaco-based luxury boatbuilder Wally says each of the yacht systems is customised to fit the acoustics of its installation area.
“Entering the marine industry has been top of mind for us for quite some time,” says Fiore Cappelletto, vice president and general manager of automotive and marine at McIntosh Group, which is based in the US. “After gaining experience in the automotive industry, paired with our company’s consistent development of quality performance custom installation audio, or ‘Ci-Fi’, the time felt right to enter the exhilarating market, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have found a perfect ally in Wally.”
The systems are powered by high-end audio technology trademarked by Sonus Faber and McIntosh. The audio brands say they ‘executed extensive stress tests, product validation processes, and tailored calibrations on each and every system’ to ensure excellent audio quality at sea.
“We developed a bespoke solution in cooperation with the Wally team, combining the finest audio solutions with interior design that allow us to create among the best ‘Ci-Fi’ experiences ever,” says Roberto Gamba, business developer of CI at McIntosh Group. “The concept is to transfer all the audio knowledge of McIntosh and Sonus Faber onboard, giving the customers the unique opportunity to live the excitement of a movie theatre on their yacht and be fully immersed in the heart of the action.
“Our real challenge was to create something truly unique, so we integrated the audio system seamlessly into custom furniture, walls, and cabinets, specifically tailored to meet Wally’s vision. We look forward to customers experiencing the exceptional sound quality that this collaboration has brought to life”
In December 2022, Wally revealed the first details of the new Wallywhy100, the latest in the Wallywhy range and a successor to the Wallywhy200.
