Arkamys is nominated for the “The Embedded Systems Trophy” in the category Consumer Electronics for its innovative audio solution. The product, “Sound Staging”, is a software which significantly improves the listening comfort in cars by creating an outstanding sound image that gives a natural impression of spaciousness and true surrounds. The entirely software-based solution also allows considerably reducing tuning time as well as guaranteeing an equally high audio quality with a reduced number of speakers. Arkamys currently equips several Renault models like the new Mégane and Laguna and more manufacturers will follow in 2010.
The competition “The Embedded Systems Trophies 2009” is organized by SYNTEC Informatique (French association of the software and computing services companies) and CAP’TRONIC with the support of the French Ministry for the Economy, Industry and Employment. It recognizes and awards outstanding projects of companies which have developed and produced one or several embedded systems using a software component which is predominant and particularly innovative.
The trophies are awarded on the occasion of the 2. Franco-German Embedded Systems Convention on June 9, 2009.

2009 – 04 – 01, Paris, France and Wetzlar, Germany: Arkamys and the Continental Automotive Group announced an agreement to integrate Phantom Tweeters, a digital sound processing technology in Continental mass production radio solution for car manufacturers.

The quality of sound in a car is usually measured by the number and power of speakers. Continental and Arkamys have enabled those models which are equipped with low speaker setups (without tweeters) to afford best of breed listening experience. To provide democratic cars with superior sound while bearing with cost constrains, Continental has embedded Arkamys Sound Staging software in its platform for OEM customers. The Arkamys Sound Staging software provides a natural spaciousness and accurate timber reproduction without physical tweeters.

The Arkamys software lifts the sound image in front of the listener, giving the illusion that sound sources have been placed in front of the windscreen. The solution drastically enhances audio rendering, making a pair of wide range loudspeakers comparable to a standard system including physical tweeters. Arkamys Phantom Tweeters not only helps reducing the Bill Of Materials and installation but also provides car interiors with a better audio rendering.

While Continental car audio specialists were in charge of the integration, Arkamys engineers tuned the system to each specific car interior, to provide all car models with the same ideal sound signature. The result is a sound system with perfect acoustical integration, bringing to the passengers an unparalleled and previously unthinkable musical experience in this type of cars.

Philippe Tour, CEO of Arkamys, says: “We are very satisfied of this collaboration with Continental which allowed us to provide car manufacturers with cost innovative solution. Arkamys Phantom Tweeters software combined with the powerful and cost effective Continental platform makes it the ideal solution for basic car models. Thanks to this collaboration we have optimized our work to provide the best audio quality to mass market vehicles.”

2009 – 03 – 30 , Paris, France and Hildesheim Germany : Arkamys and the Robert Bosch GmbH announced an agreement between the two companies to integrate Sound Staging, a digital sound processing technology with Bosch mass production radio solution for use by a leading European car manufacturers.

Vehicle interior experience is a major concern for car manufacturers, and the quality of sound is amongst the most critical factors. Providing accurate and comfortable sound in a car interior is a complicated task, even for sound engineers who need to bear physical constrains such as the shape of the car’s interior. Cost constrains, especially on middle range cars, prevent manufacturers from increasing the number of speakers, making the job even more difficult.

To provide an adapted solution, Bosch has selected Sound Staging, a technology developed by Arkamys, for application in a platform for its OEM customers.

The Arkamys Sound Staging software provides a natural spaciousness with a lifted front scene and accurate timber reproduction. This sensation is achieved by processing the audio samples without changing the loudspeakers setup, allowing Bosch engineers to provide its client with an immersive sound experience while complying with the existing speaker setup.

While Bosch car audio specialists were in charge of the integration, Arkamys engineers tuned the system to each specific car interior, to provide all car models with the same ideal sound signature, comparable in quality with the experience procured by cars equipped with a higher standard speakers system.

The result is a sound system with perfect acoustical integration, bringing to the passengers an unparalleled and previously unthinkable musical experience in this type of cars.

Philippe Tour, CEO of Arkamys, says: “We are very satisfied of this collaboration with Bosch which allowed us to combine the powerful and cost effective Bosch Advanced Digital Receiver (ADR) platform with our audio enhancement software. Thanks to this collaboration we have optimized our work to provide the best audio quality to mass market OEM customers.”

Bosch : Our hardware technical competencies and Arkamys’s know-how have revealed themselves to be highly complementary. Thanks to this, we can offer our customers the best sound quality while remaining competitive as it is necessary on the medium and upper medium class car market.

La nouvelle Mégane innove avec un certain nombre d'équipements, dont un son 3D couplé avec le système audio. Tout en conservant les haut-parleurs d'origine, il est possible de bénéficier d'une acoustique personnalisée. Par un traitement sophistiqué, qui repose sur des algorithmes, il est possible de modifier la diffusion du son dans l'habitacle. Le client a le choix entre deux modes d'écoute. S'il est seul, il lui suffit d'appuyer sur une touche. Le son du système audio sera alors diffusé face à lui, exactement comme si l'orchestre jouait de l'autre côté du pare-brise. En revanche, si on choisit le mode d'écoute avec plusieurs passagers, le son va être diffusé autrement, comme s'il enveloppait chacun des occupants de l'habitacle. En soi, ce n'est pas nouveau. Mais, la solution est plus économique qu'avec des installations audio haut de gamme (Harman Kardon, Bang & Olufsen). La qualité d'écoute est nettement supérieure à celle d'un autoradio classique et le système est proposé sur un modèle de grande diffusion : la Mégane.
Le procédé a été mis au point par Arkamys : une PME spécialisée dans le son. Elle a d'abord restauré le son de vieux films réédités en DVD, avant de travailler sur la spatialisation du son en 3D pour les téléphones mobiles.
Le son 3D par Arkamys est disponible sur toute la gamme Mégane, ainsi que sur le Coupé Laguna, dans lequel il est couplé avec une chaîne Bose pour un plus grand plaisir acoustique.

Acoustic ’08 is a major event taking place from June 29th to July 4th 2008. More than 3500 presentations distributed in 265 sessions are scheduled and more than 4000 participants are expected. Two major European conferences have been integrated into this event: “ecua” the European Conference on Underwater Acoustics and “euronoise” the European Conference on Noise Control.
During this great event, Arkamys will present its R&D research project regarding the relation between the quality of 3D sound and the quality of headsets. This project is called: “comparison of headphones and equalization for virtual auditory source localization”. Some interesting and surprising outcomes have aroused from our research and will be presented during the event.

Arkamys, the leading provider of digital audio processing solutions and provider of embedded software for mobile phones and portable media players, today was recognized by industry leading manufacturer Aigo by being voted "Top Innovator" at CHINICT 2008 for the Immerse U solution. CHINICT took place in Beijing, P.R. China; it is the largest gathering around the most innovative and fastest-growing IT rising stars.

The company was awarded for its Immerse U solution that lets small devices create a real sensation of complete immersion in sound when listening over the ordinary stereo headphones and loudspeakers. The primary achievements for a major evolution were presented which open up new horizons in terms of personalizing headphone usage.
By appling the principles of psychoacoustics, Arkamys has succeeded in identifying the morphological characteristics that condition our listening experience, and is developing a system capable of personalizing the sounds heard through headphones depending on the morphology of each individual. This will give the listener the natural texture that they are used to when listening normally without headphones. Today, Arkamys presented its latest realizations; the first applications are planned for 2009.

"We are very proud of this recognition of our contribution to the industry by Aigo. This award recognizes our team's ability to uniquely exploit our advanced technology innovation skills, and combine with our world-class product engineering and deep market expertise to create compelling solutions that bring tremendous value to our customers" said Philippe Tour, CEO of Arkamys”.

Arkamys technology is already embedded in millions of devices, and is used in a growing number of innovative mobile phones.

Arkamys' CEO, Philippe Tour, will attend the Euro-Chinese ICT innovation summit ChinICT 2008 in Beijing on May 22nd & 23rd, featuring the most innovative and fastest-growing ICT companies from China and Europe - through stage presentation and booth presence.

A popular high-tech TV show called ‘Plein Ecran’ has just done a report (in French) with Arkamys…
CEO Philippe Tour spoke on the podium elaborating on applications of the technology. The following video is a montage of the relevant parts of the show including a segment on Arkmays’ partner lab LIMSI (part of the national French research centre CNRS).

This site is dedicated to the personalized 3D audio technology for headphones that Arkamys is developing.
On this site you can expect:
• To be kept up to date with information on the project and the release of products/services
• To see press releases on the project itself from a variety of media
• Cutting edge demos for you to test
• To see more functionalities very soon..

Samsung’s S3C6400 is the world's first ARM 1176 high performance, low power application processor solution for mobile phones and general applications. On appliances proposing numerous multimedia functions, sound quality becomes a major factor in product differentiation.
Arkamys has presented the first range of audio signal processing software libraries on the S3C6400, giving the consumer electronics manufacturers that have chosen this platform the opportunity to offer their users a new, more absorbing and more realistic audio experience, using the latest innovations in terms of digital signal restitution and sound spatialization.

The music of my teenage years came to me mostly via AM radio. When I listen to music now, it is delivered in digital format over headphones. Compared to the tinny, static-filled radio of my youth, how could I ever want better sound than that?

The new algorithms presented significantly improve the listening experience with headsets and speakers, closing the gap on regular High Fidelity experience. Arkamys, thanks to its technology, offers the Consumer Electronics industry high performance software components.
To reach such great results, Arkamys has spent the last three years researching psychoacoustics to change the acoustic control paradigm when using headphones.
Meet us on booth 2F49.

The article presents the « listen with your own ears » project. By appling the principles of psychoacoustics, Arkamys has succeeded in identifying the morphological characteristics that condition our listening experience, and is developing a system capable of personalizing the sounds heard through headphones depending on the morphology of each individual.

Arkamys has announced the availability of its ImmerseU suite of audio enhancement and spatialisation algorithms on the Texas Instruments LoCosto platform. Arkamys’s ImmerseU on LoCosto enables mobile telephone manufacturers to achieve an audio quality unheard of on entry-level models.
It offers a whole range of audio signal processing and enhancement functions such as a graphic equaliser and a range of pre-sets (jazz, pop, rock, etc.), as well as advanced stereo widening. Specific solutions are available for headphone listening (MP3 player, games) and for loudspeakers (ring tones).

Premium sound systems are well and good for premium vehicles, but audio technology company Arkamys is taking cost out of mid to low-end sound systems by using software to recreate high quality sound with fewer speakers.

Arkamys’s engineers have developed algorithms that deliver 3D sound as vividly and powerfully to listeners with headphones and speakers as to someone listening to a concert live.
The integration of the Arkamys solution in this dream phone will delight both advanced design and music lovers.
The final system reinvents the sound experience on mobile devices. It combines 3D sound software technology derived from professional mastering techniques and fine-tuning expertise that have never been seen before.
