About AKM
What makes AKM different?
Audio & Voice DSPs
Our products have always been favored in the automotive field, where demands are rigorous due to the background and following reasons.
An automobile is a means of transportation and at the same time, a living space where people can spend time.
While automotive systems becoming increasingly sophisticated and complex, ideal solutions for audio and voice system construction is essential for responding to the needs of people for the sound environment in private spaces.
To make customers feel comfortable and safe in this space at all times, Asahi Kasei Microdevices (AKM) has provided for many years our unique audio and voice processor products and software.
35 Years of Sound Exploration
Since releasing our first A/D and D/A converters in the late 1980s, we have consistently developed high-quality audio-grade IC while asking ourselves "what should be done to deliver good audio?"
In the automotive field, in addition to audio IC, we have accumulated high-level DSP solution technologies for hands-free calls and in-vehicle communications for more than 20 years to deliver high-quality, natural audio, and we continue to receive high evaluations from many customers.
In addition, we are pursuing audio and voice technology that focuses on the lifestyle of private spaces, such as active road noise cancellation, audio effects tailored to the cabin environment, engine sound synthesis, and cabin Karaoke, as a comfortable cabin sound design solution.
