Audio Product Design

Consumers have many choices today when they look among audio product offerings. Some of these sound quite good, but many do not.

Virtually every audio product's performance is constrained by cost and time pressures. It is the job of an experienced, creative designer to provide perfomance and value under these conditions.

Stroud Audio has experience designing small, cost-effective consumer audio products that really perform. Often, combining effective signal processing with well-tuned acoustics produces remarkable results with modest costs.

Audio Products that Perform

Audio product designs that combine electronic and acoustic systems include:

• musical instrument amps
• home Theater in a box systems
• satellite-subwoofer computer speaker systems
• tabletop internet radios

Stroud Audio experience allows us to take advantage of audio electronics, acoustics and psychoacoutics to make your audio product perform.

We specify and verify speaker characteristics that include frequency response, large-signal parameters, and distortion properties.

For the electronics elements of a product, SAI employs many signal management strategies to give your audio product design a higher value:

• bass loudness compensation
• equalization, sometimes tied to loudness compensation
• bass management for small speakers, with customer-pleasing equalization.
• "double loudness" for very small boxes
• analog modeling with low and/or high level components to optimize musical instrument amplifier sound

Let Stroud Audio help you with your audio product design needs.
