Upcoming Events
Practical Automotive Audio Measurements-Cupertino
Location: Hilton Garden Inn, Cupertino, CA
Date & Time: Thursday, November 19 • 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM
Join us for an engaging and informative day of practical automotive audio measurements and training.
In the morning Steve Temme will share the work of the AES Technical Committee on Automotive Audio (TC-AA) and their development of a white paper to standardize measurements of frequency response, Max. SPL and impulsive distortion. He will then delve deeper into some of the other audio characterization metrics that help develop a more complete picture of in-car audio quality. These include seat-to-seat spectral uniformity, Max SPL versus distortion and alternative methods for impulsive distortion measurements.
After a short break Dr. Sean Olive will present a framework that defines the objective and subjective measurements needed to build accurate and reliable generalized predictive models of automotive sound quality
After a networking lunch, we’ll head outside for a hands-on session making some real in-car measurements and offer hands-on guidance in making these measurements.
There is no charge for this event, but registration is required and spaces are limited.
ISEAT Conference – Shenzhen, China – September 12-13, 2026
Visit us at ISEAT China’s leading electroacoustics event, where we’re showcasing our latest products with our local distributor S&V Samford.
We’ll be demonstrating SoundCheck 24 – our new release – as well as new products for automotive and headphone testing.
SoundCheck 24 contains a host of new features to cut test development time and get you making measurements faster. These include a new quick setup interface, a more streamlined calibration interface, faster multi-instrument configuration and expanded TCP/IP control. Advances in measurement capability include directivity plots and algorithm enhancements.
For automotive measurement, we’re showcasing our new low cost 6-microphone array, a new audio interface, a Bluetooth interface, and an automotive test kit that contains all the accessories you need to make TC-AA compliant in-car measurements. For headphone testing, we’re demonstrating a new low-cost 0.4cc high frequency coupler, and a headphone test fixture.
Steve Temme will be presenting a paper on automotive distortion measurements and a tutorial on frequency-normalized THD.
Practical Automotive Measurements – Novi, July 28
Location: Harman Novi, MI
Join us for an engaging and informative day of practical automotive measurements and training
In the morning Steve Temme will share the work of the AES Technical Committee on Automotive Audio (TC-AA) and their development of a white paper to standardize measurements of frequency response, Max. SPL and impulsive distortion. He will then delve deeper into some of the other audio characterization metrics that help develop a more complete picture of in-car audio quality. These include seat-to-seat spectral uniformity, Max SPL versus distortion and alternative methods for impulsive distortion measurements.
After a short break he will then present the equipment used for automotive measurements, introducing two new products from Listen – a low cost 6-microphone array, a new automotive audio interface, and an automotive test kit. A guest speaker will then explain the importance of measurement standardization and how this helps them optimize in-car audio quality.
After a networking lunch, we’ll head down to Harman’s automotive test bays to make the measurements discussed earlier and offer hands-on guidance in making these measurements.
There is no charge for this event, but registration is required and spaces are limited.
AES Automotive Conference – Detroit, July 29-31 2026
Join us in the AES Automotive conference in Detroit for the launch of three innovative new products designed to streamline your automotive acoustic testing. We will be unveiling:
- Halo 6 Microphone Array: Achieve TC-AA compliant measurements at a fraction of the cost of traditional hardware – and it’s packed with features to make setup faster and easier than ever.
- AudioConnect 6×2: Our new, compact, USB-C powered interface is custom-engineered for automotive audio measurements. It offers 6 input channels for precise data capture and SP/DIF output for seamless Bluetooth control.
- Automotive Test Kit: The complete, portable solution. We’ve bundled the AudioConnect 6×2, Halo 6 microphone array, 6 SCM microphones, a Bluetooth interface, and all necessary cables into a rugged, transport-ready case. Simply add SoundCheck for a comprehensive, professional-grade measurement system at a highly competitive price point.
Steve Temme will present a paper on Overcoming challenges of measuring distortion audibility in vehicles on Weds July 29 at 2:00pm in Hall C. In this paper he discusses the ongoing challenges of standardizing measurements and compares both the physical configurations and analysis methods and algorithms that can be used.
Stop by our booth to see these new tools in action – we look forward to seeing you there!
We are also holding a separate seminar and hands-on in-car measurement event in Novi, MI on July 28th! There is no charge for this event but spaces are limited and registration is required. Check out the details and register.
