The legendary Danish loudspeaker manufacturer Dynaudio has joined the team at Sound Hub Denmark to benefit from the talents, network and facilities of an ecosystem dedicated to audio innovation. At short after, Ole Wolff Electronics A/S also announced an active partnership collaboration with Sound Hub Denmark. Ole Wolff Electronics is one of the leading manufacturers of high-quality transducers and magnetics. They provide custom-designed solutions for a broad range of first-tier companies in the consumer electronics industry.
Dynaudio has been designing, engineering and building loudspeakers in Denmark for decades and is globally recognized for making high-end loudspeakers for living rooms, cars and professional recording studios. The company joined the workplace and sound-and-acoustics facilities, hoping to support start-ups and freelancers, while benefiting from an active partnership with Sound Hub Denmark to drive innovation. And future guests at the conference area – The Sound Square – will now also enjoy Dynaudio sound performance thanks to two pairs of pro-audio speakers being installed.
According to CTO Jens Lynge Petersen, "Working with Sound Hub means we can bring our knowledge and skills to new and exciting projects. Our team members will be physically present on a regular basis."
Innovation in Microspeakers
Ole Wolff A/S is recognized worldwide for its microspeakers, combining Danish acoustic technology and product design with Chinese manufacturing. Ole Wolff is a truly global corporation with headquarters in Denmark, sales offices in nine locations worldwide, three R&D and application support centers with ISO9001, ISO14001, and TS16949 approved manufacturing facilities in Asia. As the need for even smaller speakers and microspeakers is getting more intense with designs caught between two opposing trends, more output power and smaller size. Ole Wolff responded with solutions that optimize big sound from a small package at multiple price/performance levels. Ole Wolff has been using Comsol Multiphysics since 2016 and can do acoustic simulations on both raw drivers and speaker systems, before creating prototypes, either as SLA or machined parts for verification.
"We have decided to join and partner with Sound Hub because we have a shared target group - the sound and acoustics industry - and see great business potential in the hub concentration of competences. We expect potential synergy with Sound Hub Denmark, which is attracting a lot of innovative and interesting sound companies that will benefit from our solutions," states Morten Kjeldsen, Specialist in Micro Acoustics at Ole Wolff Electronics.
Ole Wolff Electronics will be establishing a fly-in office at the Sound Hub premises in Struer and will be an active co-worker in several areas. First and foremost, mentoring and sparring to start-ups and with an intent to plan and speak at events and seminars within their line of expertise.
Morten Kjeldsen, Micro Acoustics Specialist at Ole Wolff Electronics A/S is one of the first to be present with a desk at Sound Hub Denmark: "I look forward to meeting and working with all the interesting people in these wonderful surroundings. Here you have both a touch of the past and a look to the future in one place. Meeting other like-minded people is always inspiring, and I hope to be challenged by new ideas and be able to offer sparring and input to start-ups and other innovators I’ll meet here".
For companies at Sound Hub, one of the benefits will be that Ole Wolff Electronics will offer products and solutions for prototypes at highly attractive terms. This will benefit start-ups in terms of cost savings in the early stages of product development. This has already been relevant for the creation of prototypes for the Sound Kit, a sound teaching platform for youth education run by Sound Hub, where STEM topics are explored through sound. Besides, residents will find Ole Wolff Electronics products as part of the materials library.
"We are happy to welcome Ole Wolff Electronics, who will be a great contribution to the skill set here at Sound Hub. Our job will be to match them with relevant clients and partners that are here short or long term. We believe they can provide yet another great offering if you work in the sound industry or related areas," Peter Petersen, the CEO of Sound Hub Denmark concludes.
