As we close out the year at DSP Concepts, we keep coming back to one simple feeling: gratitude. We are thankful for the growth we have experienced, for the new customers who put Audio Weaver into their plans, and for the customers who continued to build with us as their products scaled. That continued trust is the most meaningful signal we can get that we are helping teams deliver better outcomes.
We were also honored this year to see Audio Weaver recognized on the global stage with a Gold award at the 2025 APICTA Awards, reflecting both the strength of the platform and the real world impact our customers and partners are delivering with it.
None of this would be possible without our employees. Their creativity, hard work, and persistence showed up in the ways that matter most: the long hours to solve hard problems, the many miles traveled to collaborate in person, and the quiet determination to keep raising the bar. They are deeply committed to making Audio Weaver the best it can be, and to bringing Audio Weaver’s benefits to as many products as possible. Audio Weaver makes good audio. And we really like good audio.
This year, though, one theme rose above the rest: partnerships that remove friction. We forged new relationships and launched new bundled SDK offerings that make it easier to adopt Audio Weaver on leading SoCs, including bare metal deployments where it matters most. The result is straightforward: less reinvention of foundational plumbing, more time spent creating differentiated audio experiences.
Qualcomm Snapdragon with AWE-Q
Our collaboration with Qualcomm represents a major milestone in Audio Weaver deployment on high performance, widely adopted platforms. AWE-Q is designed to handle low level plumbing and system integration so product teams can spend engineering effort on audio experience, not basic infrastructure. It brings Audio Weaver’s deep library of modules and workflows to Snapdragon platforms, including multicore capabilities that can distribute processing across Hexagon DSPs and Arm cores, plus unified visibility and integrated profiling to understand performance per core, per thread, and per module. AWE-Q brings Audio Weaver’s graphical workflow, multicore distribution across Hexagon DSPs and Arm cores, unified signal flow visibility, and integrated profiling into a cohesive offering designed for real product development. That momentum was also recognized externally this year, with AWE-Q named “Automotive Infotainment Innovation of the Year” in the 2025 AutoTech Breakthrough Awards.
Texas Instruments Sitara with AWE-Lite
The TI Sitara story is about practical performance and deployability across real products. Texas Instruments Sitara platforms are trusted across embedded markets where reliability, longevity, and real time performance matter. Our bundled AWE-Lite offering with Sitara is built to help teams move faster from concept to production by pairing Audio Weaver’s design and tuning workflow with a proven embedded compute foundation. A strong example is the Sitara AM62Dx EVM Multicore Audio Weaver SDK, which provides a cohesive development path for audio signal chain processing using TI’s C7x DSP alongside Arm Cortex-A53, with plug and play multicore integration and optimized Audio Weaver Core libraries. The unique value here is practical: teams can iterate quickly, validate performance early, and deploy confidently on a platform built for real world products.
NXP SAF9100 with AWE-Lite
The NXP SAF9100 is purpose built for automotive audio, positioned as a one chip solution for infotainment in the software defined car. It integrates two audio DSP cores, an embedded MCU, and broad connectivity, plus support for AI and ML accelerators and dedicated audio acceleration. With AWE-Lite bundled for SAF9100, automotive teams get a more direct path to build, tune, and ship advanced audio pipelines on a platform designed specifically for the cabin experience. NXP has also highlighted third party compatibility for the SAF9xxx family, including Audio Weaver, helping developers combine platform compute with a broader ecosystem of audio IP and algorithms as requirements evolve.
What This Means for the Next Wave of Audio Innovation
When Audio Weaver is integrated on leading SoCs, it changes the development curve. Audio Weaver’s model is built around a graphical IDE that generates run time configurations for a data driven embedded engine, rather than generating code, which helps teams iterate quickly while keeping deployment grounded in production realities. With these SoC integrations and bundled SDKs, more products can be designed, debugged, and deployed more seamlessly than ever, and more teams can move from prototype to production with fewer handoffs and less reintegration.
We believe that sets the stage for a meaningful jump in innovation in the next generation of audio powered products, especially as AI driven experiences become more dependent on robust front ends, cleaner capture, and better signal chains. We will keep pushing on partnerships that reduce friction and expand what is possible, because we know something that feels increasingly obvious across industries: good AI starts with good audio.
