Shively Acoustics International is running at full capacity as the year starts to run out. Webinars, a new collaboration, announcements from partner Silentium, and what to expect at CES – the SAI Blog is here again for a couple of company updates and sneak peeks of things to come. . .

Things couldn’t be off to a better start this year! As we’ve touched on before, one of Shively Acoustics International’s closest industry partners is automotive software supplier Silentium. SAI’s role has been to lead the efforts in promoting Silentium’s business on the North American market, helping to spread awareness and connect the company with automotive OEMs and suppliers. These efforts have now gotten a big boost in the form of a new stateside entity, Silentium USA — with our own Roger Shively behind the wheel. . .

With 2024 coming to a close, we hope you’ve enjoyed reading the revived SAI Blog this past year. In March, we switched on the SAI Spotlight, our series that zooms in on one of Shively Acoustics International’s various industry partnerships to show how our areas of expertise can be applied to a variety of projects. In SAI Spotlight #3, we shine the light on audio equipment manufacturer  Dinaburg Technology. . .

In this inaugural edition of the SAI Spotlight series, we take a look at Shively Acoustics International’s ongoing collaboration with automotive software supplier Silentium.
