Aug 8, 2005

CMP Media's EE Times announced the launch of the Audio DesignLine Web site (www.AudioDesignLine.com). This completely new site is targeted at design engineers and engineering managers involved in the development of consumer audio electronics including the thriving fields of portable audio, TV and home entertainment audio, satellite radio, automotive, and advanced audio signal processing.

"Audio DesignLine will help engineers and engineering managers quickly and easily cut through information clutter to get at the heart of audio technology. It supplies a place to share audio design information such as hands-on how-to articles, product specific data, and theoretical underpinnings while also providing a forum to voice opinions and suggestions," said Henry Davis, site editor for Audio DesignLine. "I'm excited to be part of the EE Times effort to bring design-related audio information to the engineering community on this new site, and to make it what our readers need."

Audio DesignLine is EE Times' ninth in a series of vertically micro- segmented Web sites for engineers involved in designing electronics systems. The site provides the technical, how-to information the engineering community needs to accelerate and advance the design and development of audio products. Topics are broad, and information ranges from analog audio and SOC integration to topical forums on emerging standards and codecs. It will also keep engineers abreast of the latest challenges and trends in emerging sectors of:

  -- TV/Home Entertainment
  -- Portable Audio
  -- Satellite/Digital Radio
  -- Automotive Audio
  -- Advanced Audio Signal Processing

Site Editor Henry Davis has 30 years of experience in the OEM electronics business. With more than 20 of those years in the digital signal processing business, Henry was closely involved in the most advanced audio systems making him one of the most experienced editors in the business. Most recently, Henry spent 10 years as an independent technology and intellectual property consultant, including editing EE Times' popular "Focus on DSP" series. A frequent contributor to industry publications, Henry holds degrees in Computer Science and Business Administration from Columbia Pacific University and conducted graduate work at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology.
