R&D Stories: How Virtual Product Development Improves the Quality of Consumer and Pro Audio Products

This article addresses how modern methods of acoustical virtual product development make it possible to assess and optimize quality and performance problems throughout the entire product development process. Using a combination of modeling, simulation, and measurement tools, everything can be analyzed in-depth before building the physical product, the two authors explain. This article was originally published in audioXpress, September 2020.
