Audio plays a key and increasing part in many products and systems. It can often be an important differentiator and the UK has world-class expertise in this area.

Using case studies and expert contributors this event will showcase audio design ingenuity encompassing both analogue/mixed-signal and digital processing as well as looking at audio applications with a particular focus on chip-level implementations

As with all NMI Network events, in addition to the presentations and discussion sessions, there will be ample opportunity to meet and network with attendees from a wide variety of organisations.
