AES 48th Conference on Automotive Audio

Automotive audio has evolved from the standard mono sound emanating from one full range loudspeaker to complex multichannel systems. The Audio Engineering Society will hold its Automotive Conference in Munich, Germany, September 21-23, 2012.

From the AES website - "Over the last 20 years, Automotive Audio has changed dramatically from being standard mono sound in one full range loudspeaker to a true multichannel playback system fully integrated and adjusted to the specific car. Today some of the most advanced sound technology is being developed and applied in Automotive Audio.

The conference will give an overview of the present state-of-the-art in a broader perspective, and address many of the new scientific disciplines involved in this still-emerging field. Automotive Audio involve combinations of otherwise complementary scientific fields such as power electronics, Bus systems (MOST), Loudspeaker drive units, signal processing (DSP), advanced analog design, EMC and more."
