Acoustics - a world of sound & silence
ACOUSTICS - A WORLDS OF SOUND & SILENCE
For almost a century, Denmark has built a strong position in acoustics and electro-acoustics around wellknown companies such as Brüel & Kjær, Bang & Olufsen, Kirk, Oticon, Widex, Danavox, GN Resound, Peerless, Vifa, Scan-Speak, Jamo, Dantax and others. Several of the products of these companies are related to sophisticated concepts in acoustic communication, and reducing the noise load on people. Human perception of speech and sound, general research on hearing, hearing loss, loudness, annoyance, transducers and related topics have become increasingly important, and in these areas the Danish acoustics cluster is among the world’s best.
Acoustic capabilities
- A long tradition for producing widely acknowledged products within loudspeakers and hearing aids
- A critical mass of world-leading industry players
- Internationally recognised quality products
- Denmark’s strong brand as a global first-mover within acoustics
- Danish acoustics research has a good reputation and enjoys international recognition - the target education within engineering acoustics at the Technical University of Denmark supports this fact
- Strong private-public cooperation – e.g. ICEpower created by a close cooperation between Bang&Olufsen and the Technical University of Denmark www.icepower.bang-olufsen.com
