Increase acoustic performance of consumer electronics using a combination of simulation and test - 4 de mayo de 2022 - TecnoWebinars.com

Consumer electronics companies face challenges with increased complexity, new technology adoption and quick responses to emerging market trends. Miniaturization, high power density, increased cooling needs and lower cost goals add to existing pressure to bring products to market faster. Developing leading and performant electronic products competitively requires an innovative and adaptive engineering approach.

 

Especially when it comes to acoustic performance, electronic products are held to a high standard. Consumer electronics are expected to run quietly to provide an optimal user experience. A quiet product is often perceived as higher in quality and companies must adopt efficient processes and tools to optimize the acoustic performance of products. Conversely it’s not only about noise suppression. Optimizing acoustic performance of loudspeakers and microphones is key to perceived quality of audio products. Producing powerful, high-quality consumer goods requires advanced noise engineering and sound characterization.

 

Join us to understand how a combined simulation and test approach in the early design stages delivers critical acoustic performance insights and allows to innovate in less time and at a lower cost.

 

 

- How acoustic testing in the early development stages allows benchmarking competitive products, pre-selection of components, and delivering data for use in simulation models.

- How acoustic simulation quickly evaluates multiple scenarios without expensive prototypes.

- These topics will be explored using the examples of a laptop and a flatscreen product.
