1 Press release Herzogenrath, 08/11/2011 celebrates its 25 th anniversary Pioneering innovative acoustical measurement technology since 1986 The expert of acoustical measurement technology from Herzogenrath, Germany, has grown to become one of the world s leading suppliers of products and solutions for sound and vibration analyses With a current workforce of roughly 150, and 15 international sales partners and subsidiaries, HEAD acoustics is present in all key markets In celebration of the anniversary, HEAD acoustics is organizing the symposium How the World is Turning The Future of Mobility and Communication HEAD acoustics, the international expert of acoustical measurement technology celebrates its 25 th anniversary this year: Since its founding in 1986, HEAD acoustics has developed into one of the world s leading suppliers of products and solutions for sound and vibration. Today, the company sets international standards not only with the technical reproduction of human hearing, but also by pursuing a holistic approach which includes all aspects of human perception of sound and vibration events. Our customers and business partners profit from our years-long experience, our know-how and our innovative prowess, which have characterized the company from the beginning, says founder and owner of HEAD acoustics, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Klaus Genuit. We are at their side as a reliable and competent partner. At the same time we concentrate our attention on future challenges in acoustics such as electric mobility and wideband speech transmission. On August 11, 1986, Klaus Genuit founded the company at the Aachen Technology Center (TZA) with four employees with the innovative concept of head-related recording and playback systems. The AACHENHEAD technology is a technical reproduction of human hearing that enables aurally-accurate recording of sound events, supporting all characteristics of human hearing, in particular spatial hearing.
2 2/8 Today, the company employs a workforce of roughly 150. HEAD acoustics develops highperformance measurement and analysis systems for multi-channel sound and vibration analyses, binaural sound investigations and communication quality analyses. Furthermore, it offers comprehensive services for sound and voice quality optimization. The company benefits from state-of-the-art measurement technology combined with a longtime experience in industrial practice as well as decades of significant involvement with standardization bodies and industry organizations. With subsidiaries in USA, France and Japan and twelve sales partners, HEAD acoustics is internationally present in all key markets. From the beginning, innovation has been a strong focus of the company s activities. Numerous patents and scientific publications validate the successful R&D work. AACHENHEAD technology has made hearing sensation accessible to objective measurement procedures and allowed aurally-accurate sound analysis since the mid 1980s. As the first binaural analysis system for aurally-accurate sound analysis, BAS featured acoustical playback of the signal during analysis. In addition to their own research and development activities, HEAD acoustics is involved in numerous national and international research projects. Symposium How the World is Turning The Future of Mobility and Communication on the occasion of the 25 th anniversary On September 23, 2011, HEAD acoustics celebrates their anniversary with a symposium addressing the revolution of our society s mobility and communication as well as its impact on our future. In preparation for the symposium, six international experts met with HEAD acoustics in a workshop on A Vision of our Society s Mobility and Communication. The results of the workshop will be presented and discussed at the symposium. Featured themes will be technology and energy, communication and information, corporate governance and social responsibility, new networks and distributed artificial intelligence, environment and traffic circulation, soundscape and acoustic ecology, economy and finance, mobility and acoustic worlds. In accordance with the company s motto "always a step ahead, HEAD acoustics continually moves toward the future with innovative and customized solutions that meet customers increasing demands.
