Austrian Audio’s Christoph Frank publishes AES paper

You like cars? You like microphones? You like chatting with your friends via hands-free services in your car?

There is more science behind making this work unobtrusively than one would initially assume. Automobile environments are never ‘fixed’. Outside noise is constant and there are other variables such as: the number of occupants, the noise that they generate and even the family dog.

In Christoph’s words: “This paper is a summary of acoustic measurement environments used for automotive microphones. Different environments are presented so that the right method can be found according to the microphone’s specification. The summary also shows why different measurement environments need to be used for the main types of microphones in automotive applications such as hands-free communication and active noise control.”
