Automotive Audio Workflows Webinar with DSP Concepts and Tymphany, May 25

In the run-up to the AES 2022 International Conference on Automotive Audio taking place in Dearborn, Michigan [https://audioproducteducationinstitute.org/aes-2022-international-automotive-audio-conference/] the AES Audio Product Education Institute (APEI) is promoting a special webinar event focused on the future of automotive audio workflows. In this session, Roger Shively will lead a discussion with John Whitecar (DSP Concepts), Evan Bunner, and Matt Marchese (Tymphany) on the evolution of automotive audio systems, technology, and implementations.

Sony Electronics announced the WH-1000XM4 – the fourth-generation noise-canceling headphones from Sony's 1000X family. The popular wireless over-ear model shows a similar design to the previous WH-1000XM3, with subtle but effective changes in materials providing longer comfort and lighter weight. But the main improvement relies on Sony's latest processing, sensors and a new Bluetooth 5 SoC, providing the WH-1000XM4 with additional smart features that personalize music, improve noise cancelation and adjust ambient sound automatically.
