Do you hear that? That’s the sound of our Newsroom presses rumbling back into full swing, ready to churn out regular updates once more. Despite the absence of our blog, however, our partners and clients know fully well that our day-to-day communication and work in Audio never stopped—and only continues to improve. . .

In September 2019, we were just wrapping up the last Audio Engineering Society's  International Automotive Conference in Ingolstadt, Germany. Within four months, the way we looked at the world would change in many historical ways. . .

Currently on the minds for both automotive brands and consumers, immersive audio reproduction results from a convergence of multiple technologies and concepts, from multichannel playback to acoustic auralization of perceived listening spaces, to DSP enhancement of sound reproduction. This session explores the different ways to translate actual immersive audio content and generate immersive experiences. . .

The Audio Product Education Institute presents the third webinar concluding a series on the practice and benefits of simulation-driven audio architecture design by use of Digital Twins. In this new session, Ulrik Skov (Reality Labs at Meta) shares a “war story” – an example of an actual device development – where a low and high frequency sub-system was architected, design, optimized and troubleshooted over a period of a year. . .

The AES Audio Product Education Institute presents the second webinar on the practice and benefits of simulation-driven audio architecture design by use of Digital Twins. In this series of Modeling and Measurement online events, experts from COMSOL, Shively Acoustics and Facebook, discuss the role of Digital Twins and how to influence fundamental design considerations. . .

Expanding on a series of webinars to explore automotive audio design and applications, the Audio Product Education Institute presents a session focused on Immersive Audio, exploring the different ways to translate actual immersive audio content and generate immersive experiences. . .

The AES Audio Product Education Institute promotes a special online event discussing the challenges in the automotive supply chain for those companies and professionals working in automotive audio and acoustics. With contributions offering unique perspectives and expertise from APEI’s distinct education pillars. . .

Exploring the specifics of one of the newest and fastest-growing consumer electronics categories, combining the most cutting-edge technologies, the webinar intends to showcase how these processes fit in the design cycle. . .

When we look at the list of available magnetic materials, there are only a few that have the right combination of magnetic strength, size, and stability. . .

We have a unique perspective on loudspeaker design and specifications, having designed loudspeakers for over 10 years and performed research in that area as well during those years and afterward. We also spent  15 years after designing loudspeakers designing, tuning, and researching the systems in cars. . .

We are proud to showcase here for the very first time, a podcast created by Kyle Laemmle, a mechanical engineering student at Miami University of Ohio. This podcast delves into the automotive audio space, asking questions ranging from “what do sound engineers to do protect our ears in the event of a car crash?” to “what types of artificial sounds are created for cars, and why?”. . .

Warning sounds designed to alert pedestrians to the presence of electric drive vehicles are an industry requirement for more than 10 years, and are now mandatory for all new electric and hybrid electric vehicles. But how are car manufacturers and technology providers addressing those requirements?. . .

The mission of the APEI Automotive Pillar is to explore and explain the practical approach and development of all the products that are conceived, planned, designed, and implemented in automotive car audio. . .

The Audio Engineering Society (AES) Spring International Convention for Vienna this year was a virtual convention due to the COVID-19 pandemic, dubbed the Virtual Vienna 2020. Its online schedule finished last week, but the videos and on-demand content for the conference are still available. . .

Over the last 20 years, automotive audio has changed dramatically from being standard mono sound in one full-range loudspeaker to a true multichannel playback system fully integrated and adjusted to the specific car. Today some of the most advanced sound technologies are being developed and applied in automotive audio. . .

Before the flight that would become historic no matter how it ended, the pilot said this to posterity: “With risks you gain.” He said, “I’ve got a theory about this. . .

There are many algorithms that attempt to provide an improved spatial experience in a car. – This is not a tuning algorithm, and it is not dependent on any type or level of EQ. It enhances the audio by restoring the quality and detail of the source.

With the advent of autonomous cars, once the job of driving isn’t needed, what sensation is left to captivate the driver? We will be the captain of the car, but no longer the driver; our seat will literally shift away from concentrating on the road, and our role will shift. The tactile sensation of the road will be distant from us then. What is left to us? What can captivate us?

At a media preview event, held at the firm’s Namyang research and development center on Wednesday, the Korean automaker made it clear
that its Niro hybrid SUV will target three major compact SUVs in the local market — SsangYong’s Tivoli, Renault Samsung’s QM3 and GM Korea’s Chevrolet Trax. . .

Kia Motors Corp., Korea’s second-ranked carmaker, said Tuesday that it has sold more than 10,000 units of its all-new K7 sedan since its launch by appealing to relatively young people with its upgraded features and affordability, company officials said. . .
