What We Do

Audio Research Labs is an audio technology consulting company that offers a range of products and services in the digital audio space.

ARL Products

STEP STEP is a computer-controlled system for presentation and subjective evaluation of speech and audio signals that can run on any Windows PC. It was developed by a group of former Bell Laboratory acoustics and signal processing engineers. It is typically used in conjuction with an acoustically controlled listening environment, in which signals are presented via headphones or loudspeakers. The PC on which STEP is run must provide a video screen (e.g. LCD) for the listener to view the STEP control panel, a mouse for the listener to interact with the panel and an audio output card or device to interface to headphones or loudspeaker.
ARL Sound Stage ARL Sound Stage is a multi-channel plug-in for Digidesign ProTools. It gives mix engineers new ways to craft realistic surround images from non-surround sources such as mono, stereo, LCR, Quad and multi-mono 5.0 sources. Our multi-channel tools include a virtual sound stage and a bass management crossover plug-in.

Subjective Quality Evaluation Subjective Listening Tests
ARL staff have more than 20 years of experience in conducting subjective listening tests for evaluating the performance of speech and audio coding or processing technologies. We can perform BS.1116, MUSHRA, Comparative, or MOS tests on mono, stereo or 5.1 channel content, and presentation can be via either headphones or loudspeakers.
Engineering Consulting Signal Processing Algorithms
Our staff has more than 40 years of experience in developing real-time signal processing algorithms. Our specialty is audio, but we have done other media processing projects. Drawing on years of research know-how developed at Bell Laboratories, staff of Audio Research Labs can assist in or initiate the development of new client technology.

Custom Programming
Our staff are experts in real-time embedded programming, particularly in network-based applications. We are proficient in Java, C++, C and assembler language programming in many development environments, including Unix and Window, and are proficient in a multi-processing environment (threads, signals and pipes).
