Achieving differentiation in in-car audio

For automakers considering deploying voice control and voice communication systems, DSP Concepts recognizes that there are multiple approaches to leverage supplier expertise and conserve in-house resources.

One approach is the relatively simple"black Box"route, where a solution is packaged by a supplier and can be plugged in as is. This is an easy and lean way to close the distance between no voice system (point A) and a functional voice system (point B). OEMs making cars for the lower end of the market are likely to settle on the black Box as the most practical solution.

The other approach is the "Box"approach, where the OEM or Tier1 is given the tools, resources and support to create their own system, implementing different features as per their design requirements. This approach focuses on enablement rather than pre-packaged drop-in solutions, allowing them to choose the features and tuning that match their brand and trim level.

Users who choose the Box approach need a product that does more than simply extend from point A to point B. This flexibility is essential for brands that want to build rich, personalized customer experiences that go beyond drop-in solutions. The Box unlocks differentiation, enabling automakers to design in-car voice systems that stand out from the competition.

The Audio Weaver development platform is at the heart of DSP Concepts 'Box, providing OEMs with everything they need to develop integrated audio processing layouts for all architectures, vehicle segments and use cases. Audio Weaver streamlines the development of advanced voice communications, voice control, sound design, playback processing and more.
