SANTA CLARA, CALIF.-- November 16, 2022 -- DSP Concepts, Inc., the embedded audio technology leader and creator of the Audio Weaver development platform, today announced that it is collaborating with Analog Devices, Inc. on a solution for automotive OEMs aimed at accelerating design cycles and reducing costs for in-vehicle audio system implementation. The new ADI LISTN™ EZ-AUDIO System utilizes ADI SHARC+ DSP hardware and the newly optimized Audio Weaver development platform from DSP Concepts to help OEMs speed their time to market with versatile, differentiated audio entertainment systems.

The solution comprises a complete signal flow out of the box, with features that simplify audio system customization, tuning, and deployment. OEMs can incorporate a fully featured and pre-configured audio layout with essential user controls and features optimized for automotive cabin applications, including stereo audio output for systems with up to 12 channels, as well as advanced EQ and control capabilities.

The ADI LISTN EZ-AUDIO System by Analog Devices includes AWE Tune™ from DSP Concepts, a fully featured automotive audio tuning system that works alongside the Audio Weaver development platform. Together, both solutions help to accelerate automotive audio development, enable product team collaboration, and make audio innovation easy. Featuring an intuitive graphical user interface, AWE Tune makes audio system customization and iteration easier with the ability to manage the entire Audio Weaver signal flow, tune multiple channels at once, create and duplicate presets, lock already-defined presets, and more.
