HBK Electroacoustics Virtual Conference Sept 28-29
Our expectations around high-quality audio in our media playback and communications have been steadily increasing over the last decades with brands vying to impress customers with improved dynamic range, frequency range and audio clarity in their latest products. That need has accelerated in the current global climate where remote communication and virtual performances have become the norm, and consumers clamor for the realism and intimacy they miss from face-to-face communication and live events.
The Electroacoustic Conference will offer presentations from HBK experts and our customers highlighting the work that has been done to develop new tools, products, methods, and metrics to help develop and evaluate future products, including challenges that require innovative techniques and concepts to resolve complex problems.
