Audio Design Engineering

We have consulted on or designed audio signal processing algorithms for several major audio manufacturers from musical instruments to sound cards to satellite radios. Our audio expert is also a professional C++ programmer so we can cover all the bases from block diagram development to finished software code - whatever level of consulting involvement you need.

In House Hardware AND Software Design!

Tritone Systems has been providing both hardware and software audio design solutions since 1994. Our audio expert is an analog audio hardware specialist and is finalizing his book Understanding Audio Electronics for publication soon. In the mid-1990's Mr. Pirkle shifted his focus to Digital Signal Processing coding and algorithm design after working on the acclaimed Korg 1212 I/O PCI audio card for professional audio applications. Pirkle designed the complete audio signal path (analog, digital and mixed signal) for the device along with a self boot-loading DSP operating system. At the University of Miami, Mr. Pirkle taught Advanced Audio Signal Processing classes at the gradutate and undergraduate levels along the thesis supervision on many DSP based topics. Please view his Curriculum Vitae for more details.
