Usound
Jakob Spötl works as head of acoustics in the R&D department of USound. He is one of the first employees of USound and joined the company in 2015, right after finishing his studies in electrical and audio engineering at the TU Graz in Austria. His main interest was (and still is) the multidisciplinary; combining knowledge from different fields. Therefore, his main expertise lies in understanding and modeling of the interplay between different physical domains (electronics, mechanics, and acoustics). Combining this with real-world applications and the resulting psychoacoustic experience is what he thrives on.
