Acoustic Design Solution
Creating sound that captivates the senses
Audio & Voice DSPs
As if you were there
VELVET SOUND* provides a perfect re-creation of the original sound and everything that it touched.
It rebuilds the world that was born from that sound, and you'll feel it around you.
That is Velvet Sound.
*VELVET SOUND is both the brand and philosophy of Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (AKM)'s highest tier of audio devices.
An authentic listening experience must be free of added noise and distortion. VELVET SOUND technology strives to eliminate those distractions in the pursuit of Real Live Sound: a faithful re-creation of the original experience, as if you were there.
We kindly invite you to view our presentation video, which details the unique sound creation concept of VELVET SOUND for Cars.
Creating sound that captivates the senses
"What design aspects should be prioritized for audio performance, and what's the best way to deliver great sound to the listener?"
We have long been facing and unraveling these questions.
Our approach is not limited to circuit technology, but also extends to elements that are not easily quantifiable.
Through years of exploring these different aspects, we have been able to create a rich world of sound that appeals to the senses.
Automobiles today are not only a means of transportation, but are also a "second living room" that provides comfort and enriches people's lives.
This second living room should become a world of sound that makes you feel as if you are witnessing the original performance.
AKM's acoustic design solution is based on our unique theory and experience in delivering a wonderful listening experience to users.
A fusion of three elements; acoustic design solution
AKM's acoustic design solution is carried out under the supervision of audio professionals who spend every day working with and learning from the audio meisters who have continued to meet the rigorous demands of the high-end audio industry.
Audio & Voice DSPs
Our automotive audio DSPs are equipped with multiple cores for total of more than 7000 MIPS of computing power and up to 152-channel interfaces that can process complex algorithms simultaneously.
This flexibility allows these devices to adapt to different audio systems from customer to customer. Our DSP hardware is capable of efficiently tuning not only the quantified acoustic characteristics, but also the subtle differences in sound quality that can be felt by the body.
Audio Algorithms
Algorithms are available to compensate for major user-sensitive parameters. By using these algorithms, the sound position is clearer, the sound space is wider and more balanced, the bass is more powerful, and the sound space in the image is reproduced.
By using these algorithms, you can reproduce the sound space of an image, where the sound position is clearer, the sound space is wider and more balanced, and the bass is stronger.
