Automotive Audio

Sound that drives you

In the modern world, the driving experience is in every way a listening experience. It is taken for granted that we have listening entertainment at our disposal while behind the wheel, but what must not be taken for granted is its audio quality. One of our prime objectives at SAI is the creation of authentic sound for all car passengers in any driving scenario, be it a short trip to the grocery store or a cross-country road trip.

No two vehicles are alike, and each will call for a customized solution. This is one of our specialties at SAI, given our decades of extensive experience and professional knowledge in the area – in this case, you’ll want us as your backseat driver. For each car, we first run comprehensive simulations to determine the optimal number and positioning of the vehicle’s loudspeakers, in addition to performance parameters. Every component of a car’s interior has a dramatic impact on its overall acoustics, and for this reason we at SAI harmonize our own competencies by working directly with the engineers of the automobile manufacturers and their partners. 

To bring about the best overall system design, we coordinate the individual loudspeaker and amplifier component designs together. This approach results in a system that is finely calibrated to reveal even the smallest subtleties in sound of a broadcast or recording, which upon ultimate implementation will ensure the reliable generation of excellent and faithful sound meeting the highest standards of quality.

Consumer Audio

Sound that satisfies the soul

Work isn’t really work if you love what you do, and our dedication to audio quality stems directly from our passion and love for music. We are also listeners and consumers, after all, and so the faithful reproduction of sound in your homes – precisely as it had been in the recording studio or at the live show – is of chief importance to us.

We at SAI support manufacturers in the consumer electronics industry, working directly with their engineering teams, in the development of individual components for fully integrated audio systems. Each and every one of these components is fine-tuned in order to achieve the best possible system performance and listening experience for music-lovers everywhere.

Personal Audio

Sound that is a part of you

At home, in the office, on the go – technology has revolutionized every nook and cranny of our lives. Computers, smartphones, and tablets have made it possible to listen to our favorite music, podcasts, and audiobooks in the highest sound quality anywhere we like, without interrupting our daily flow, by means of wearable tech and a vast array of listening devices, including in-ear, over-ear, noise-cancellation, or Bluetooth headphones and earbuds.

Just as present in our lives are ever-advancing microphone models, providing voice and speech clarity as never before not only to professional musicians, podcasters, or public speakers, but also to those of us who work or study remotely and need to nail a presentation.

We at SAI lend our hands (and ears) to manufacturers in the consumer electronics industry in new product development in order to bring these devices ever closer to perfection and seamless integration into the fabric of our day-to-day living experience.

Pro Audio

Sound that takes center stage

At SAI, we believe sound reproduction is as much an art as it is a technical science – both aspects a part of a delicate acoustical dance experienced and understood instinctually by any concert goer or entertainment devotee, for example. We are passionate about striking that balance between knowledge and feel, bringing to life complex design projects on behalf of manufacturers in the Professional Audio industry.
