Practical Automotive Measurements Seminar
Last week, industry expert and Listen President Steve Temme presented the latest recommendations for automotive audio measurement and the evolving methods used to evaluate modern in-car infotainment systems at Harman’s North American Headquarters in Novi, Michigan. Recorded ahead of the AES Automotive Conference, the presentation discusses the work of the AES Technical Committee on Automotive Audio (TC-AA) and the industry’s efforts to standardize automotive acoustic measurements.
This session provides a rare opportunity to gain valuable knowledge in the rapidly evolving in-car audio and infotainment industry. Whether you’re developing OEM infotainment systems, benchmarking competitor vehicles, performing automotive acoustic research, or implementing standardized measurement procedures, you’ll gain practical insights into the current state of automotive audio testing.
Steve unpacks the latest work from the TC-AA, highlighting new standardized testing models for frequency response, Max SPL, and impulsive distortion. He also showcases advanced characterization techniques, such as seat-to-seat spectral uniformity and psychoacoustic distortion methods.
