Alps Alpine Co., Ltd. (Headquartered in Ota-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Hideo Izumi; hereinafter “Alps Alpine”) has been engaged in a strategic collaboration with DSP Concepts, Inc. (Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, USA; CEO: Chin Beckmann; hereinafter “DSP Concepts”) since July 31, 2023, with the goal of accelerating the delivery of advanced sound technologies to the market.
As part of efforts to create additional value, Alps Alpine has independently developed and packaged
proprietary applications using Audio Weaver, a development tool provided by DSP Concepts. Alps
Alpine is now launching external sales of these applications as software licenses. Through the adoption of this business model, Alps Alpine aims to expand license offerings to audio brands and in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system suppliers. As the first partner under this new scheme, Alps Alpine will provide a software license to Goer Dynamics (Headquartered in Qingdao, China; CEO: Tony Jiang; hereinafter “Goer Dynamics”), a strategic partner in the Chinese market and a global leader in acoustic algorithms and tuning technologies.
Alps Alpine is a specialist in in-vehicle sound systems that delivers fun and safety through sound and supplies many products to automobile manufacturers in Japan and around the world. In the new era of mobility, in-vehicle sound systems need more advanced and complex technology. Audio Weaver is a tool widely used in development sites and allows flexible integration of high-quality software assets. Alps Alpine uses this tool as a foundation to develop and integrate its own applications. These are offered as a software package that turns IVI audio integrated control into intellectual property (IP). This helps expand business in the in-vehicle audio field.
Alps Alpine will build a new business model based on its acoustic and vibration signal processing
technologies and tuning expertise, developed over many years, through collaboration with partner
companies. Going forward, we will actively offer software licenses to automobile manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers worldwide. By providing more competitive audio solutions, we aim to deliver high-quality sound experiences and contribute to creating new value in next-generation mobility.
