Audio is everywhere. It’s at the heart of everything we do – whether we’re collaborating at work, visiting a live event, or chilling out at home. It’s an essential means of conveying both information and emotion.
Audio is, of course, half of AV – and some would say it’s the more important half. In the collaboration and communication space, a meeting can continue if the video suddenly fails, but if the audio goes down then nothing can happen. And with online meetings having had a massive boost in recent years, corporates are now aware that audio quality translates into better communication and increased productivity.
Vertical markets for audio
In the live events space, delivering high-quality audio to every audience member has never been more important. Exciting new venues such as Sphere have made massive investments in audio systems that have far greater capabilities than what has gone before. Software plays an increasingly significant role, for instance in the spatial audio systems that can place sound at any point in space.
And in the home, consumers are increasingly investing in multi-room audio systems, high-spec media rooms and home cinemas.
Whatever the sector, the professional audio industry is continuously raising the quality of the audio experience.
