HEAD acoustics Proposes Multi-Dimensional Audio Quality Score as Standard Method for Audio Quality Assessment

MDAQS or Multi-Dimensional Audio Quality Score, is a new binaural perception-based software tool that replaces human evaluation with novel metrics in the assessment of audio quality. This is a much needed approach for characterization of headphones, earphones, speakers, and any audio system, including automotive audio designs, researched, documented and validated by audio test and measurement company HEAD acoustics.

ACQUA 5.0.100 is the first iteration of the new generation of the well-established measurement and analysis software ACQUA from HEAD acoustics. ACQUA's significantly reworked software structure provides even greater flexibility for voice and audio quality evaluation, while paving the way for future expansions. Designed for the requirements in applications as diverse as communication systems, Bluetooth, ANC headphones, or smart speakers, ACQUA now supports faster hardware configuration, perceived loudness analysis, and MDAQS audio quality evaluation.
