DSP Group Opens Innovation Lab to Advance State-of-the-Art in Audio AI, Signal Processing and Acoustic Engineering
March 15 2021 - 7:00AM
DSP Group,
Inc. (NASDAQ:
DSPG), a leading global provider of wireless and
voice-processing chipset solutions for converged communications,
today announced the opening of an audio innovation lab in
Straubing, Germany that will focus on advancing the
state-of-the-art in audio signal processing and artificial
intelligence (AI) for acoustic engineering. The lab is already
staffed with experts, each with 20+ years of experience in the
areas of voice and audio processing algorithm development and
deployment, speaker non-linear processing, AI-based audio
processing, active noise cancellation (ANC), and rapid prototyping
and tuning. The Straubing team will enhance the company’s current
offerings while adding domain-specific expertise in automotive
audio, in-cabin and road ANC, hearables, and professional audio.
The establishment of the lab comes at a time
rapid of advances in voice integration and active approaches to
noise cancellation in automobiles. These approaches are leveraging
multiple microphones and digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms
integrated into increasingly advanced automotive audio systems to
cancel noise. This ensures a pleasant driving experience, while
also enabling higher-performance voice user interfaces (VUIs) for
calls and system control.
“The field of voice, audio, and acoustic
engineering is advancing rapidly, and recent technology
breakthroughs that combine acoustic engineering, signal processing,
and AI are elevating requirements and device performance,” said
Ofer Elyakim, CEO of DSP Group. “It has become clear to us that to
complement our capabilities and meet customers’ needs
we should adopt a holistic full-system approach to optimize
audio performance while adding specific capabilities that will
bring our portfolio of technologies to broader markets such as
automotive and various consumer devices. The Straubing team have a
proven track record of 20+ years of innovation in the audio field
and of pushing the envelope in these, and other audio applications.
We are very excited to welcome them to the DSP Group family.”
The Straubing team’s automotive expertise
contributed to over 200 patents related to in-cabin voice
processing, ANC, audio sound processing, as well as automotive
audio system design. For consumer audio, the team was named
contributor of 200/100 patents. The team was also named contributor
to over 100 patents, from far-field voice with beamforming to 3D
audio effects.
“With this new team and their expertise, DSP
Group will be able to quickly expand into exciting new market
segments, including automotive audio technology as well as
additional applications including vacuum cleaners and other home
appliances,” said Heinz Thuerauf, President of DSP Group,
Germany.
