Automotive Audio: Audio System Design in the Age of Software-Defined Vehicles

As the automotive industry is undergoing a transformation and software forces a re-evaluation of audio architectures to meet new technical demands and consumer expectations, this article offers a unique perspective on where things are headed. Detailing how DSP Concepts is evolving its Audio Weaver modular audio processing framework to adapt audio systems for SDVs, the article offers unique insights on the deployment of AI-driven audio features.

The June issue of audioXpress focuses on Automotive Audio and features an in-depth report by Roger Shively and J. Martins, plus articles from Jacob Soendergaard and Jesse Gratke (HEAD acoustics), Paul Beckmann and John Whitecar (DSP Concepts), Alexander Goldin (Alango Technologies), and Steve Temme (Listen). On other topics, Eric Carmichel describes an occluded ear simulator (OES) test solution, and Simon Ashton (AudioSmile) offers the technical details of his Little British Monitor (LBM).

To support the growing number of projects that Tymphany is involved with, encompassing transducers, amplification, DSP, and fully integrated systems for pro audio, consumer or automotive, the company created its own software platform for prototyping, tuning and deployment. Tymphany Peerless Flow DSP is a new software development platform with a library of algorithms and a user-friendly interface that eliminates the need for coding, thus reducing time to market.

audioXpress June 2024 puts automotive audio development into perspective. Starting with how AI and SDV are impacting the industry, an analysis of Integrated Audio Development Frameworks, how sound defines the driving experience of Electric Vehicles, and lessons learned from aftermarket car audio.
