Smart Tuning is a solution package that allows the Car OEM to make in-vehicle SoundStage tunings independently after a training and a certification. SoundStage is an embedded software solution that improves in-vehicle audio quality and enhances user experience for all types of head unit systems.
The solution results in the association of software and hardware to perform in-vehicle tunings in a limited time and the best productivity thanks to features such as acoustic measurements, digital signal analysis, automatic definition of tuning coefficients and generation of calibration files.
It is compatible with ARKAMYS H/U embedded software SoundStage Core & Classic.
Embedded Software in the Head-Unit
PC-based Software Tool for real-time DSP control
Hardware gear with microphones, arrays and a sound card
5-day training session with hands-on vehicle tuning & a quick start guide
The Smart Tuning Tool is a semi-automatic software making tuning easier and more efficient.
This tool provides automatic features that gives users the ability to create listening profiles for SoundStage solutions. The Smart Tuning Tool is aimed at Car OEM audio teams. This tool is easy to use thanks to its user-friendly graphic interface with a step-by-step wizard. It allows fast, efficient and cost-effective in-vehicle tuning.
The Smart Tuning Tool is a PC tool generating listening profiles and sending coefficients to the SoundStage solution embedded in the H/U. It allows to control in real-time the coefficients of ARKAMYS algorithms in the target DSP.
Robust and repeatable on each of the car OEM’s vehicles, the Smart Tuning Tool includes measurement features, objective automatic calculation modules and many other real-time procedures.
Creation of custom target sound curves presets that reflects the Car OEM’s brand image
Definition of the right algorithm parameters, specific to each vehicle acoustics
Use of advanced algorithm controls
Sending of coefficients to the target DSP in real-time
Generation of the necessary data to program the H/U and to control the written coefficients
Protection based on a dongle security protection
Fast and efficient in-vehicle tuning
Standardization of the tuning process through a step-by-step wizard HMI
Automatization of the tuning is a way to objectification
Reduction of prototypes usage, immobilization and human resources
The process can be conducted by audio operators while audio experts are only needed for the final tuning and validation
Cost-effective and easy to handle
The Smart Tuning training is performed by an ARKAMYS audio expert. The program takes place at the Car OEM facilities, it includes a 5-day training session with a presentation of the tools and a hands-on through in-vehicle tuning activities.
A certification will be delivered at the end of the training session to the people who attended.
