Auditory-Adapted Acoustics and Signal Processing
Based on our extensive technical/scientific background, we work on all questions related to sound and its processing. Thereby, a special focus lies on audible sound and audio communication, where we always aim at taking an auditory-oriented perspective.
This approach has been proven instrumental in numerous applications and is justified, as the human ear functions as the unchangeable final receiver to all possible audio-communication scenarios. Our detailed knowledge on the normal and impaired auditory system helps us find the optimal compromise for our solutions, taking into account the specific audience.
An important part of our work is consulting in the area of audio and PA equipment and set up taking into account specific parameters or locations for a prime acoustics performance. Thereby, our longstanding, international stage experience is an excellent extension to our detailed knowledge on the technical background. If you need support in selecting, planning, or setting up instruments, equipment, or a whole system, or if you need specially designed software, you are in good hands with us. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions on the detailed technical background or just need reasonable settings for studio and live equipment.
Technical and Scientific Consulting
In most areas of acoustics and audio-signal processing, we offer technical and scientific consulting, ranging from single specific questions to full product development processes. Our consulting often results in a software product that solves our customer's specific problem with a reliable and durable solution. So far we collected our expertise in the following areas, regarding theory as well as realization (see also our publications):
- Applied Psychoacoustics and Audiology
- Sound-Quality Analysis and Product Sound
- Electroacoustics and Audio Engineering
- Studio Equipment and Software
- Real-Time Audio-Signal Processing
- Room Acoustics and Acoustic Measurement Technology
- Noise emissions and immissions
- Virtual Acoustics
Do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your problem; we will determine if and how we can support you.
Routine jobs we carry out for our customers include for example the analysis of acoustical and statistical measurement data. Typical examples:
- Loudness Analyses
- 3rd-Octave Analyses
- Statistical Treatment of Measurement Data
- Analysis of the Results of Listening Experiments
- Statistical Analysis of Audiograms
- Analysis and Evaluation of Impulse-Response Measurements
Project Supervision
We are happy to facilitate your project or to conduct the whole project for you. Especially in the area of sound-quality analysis, we conduct listening experiments as needed with our expert listeners or with naive subjects, including planning, organization, data analysis and presentation.
