All Hallows’ Eve-nts
It’s officially spooky season, dear readers! While Halloween may still await us, the beginning of October has already proven festive for the world of Audio. First, there was the COMSOL Conference in Boston, and then the AES Show NY, offering audioheads the world over a combined six days of intense industry interaction. Check out the highlights from Shively Acoustics International’s trip out east. . .
Go Big, Go Gothenburg
“This is the best moment every two years. . .” At the end of June, the time had come once more for the AES International Conference on Automotive Audio. For three days, the whole of the industry came together again after two years for the fifth edition of what is its biggest event – and one that only continues to grow. . .
All Eyes on AES
Summer’s here, the solstice near, and things are heating up in the audio industry. AES Europe 2024 wrapped just a few days ago in Madrid, where the industry was on full display for three days. Shively Acoustics International and president Roger Shively were there for it all, immersed, shall we say, in the latest and greatest in Audio. But with Madrid fading in our rearview mirror, all roads now lead to Gothenburg. . .
Spring in Our Step
Just as springtime is a revival for the natural world, so too has the audio industry been abuzz with activity. While busy bumblebees bounce from blossom to blossom, Shively Acoustics International has also been on the move in recent weeks, with a few stops still ahead. So, what has the spring looked like for SAI so far? . .
Enter the Dragon
Happy Year of the Dragon, dear readers! A symbol of good fortune, prosperity, strength, and change, the dragon undulates through the air much like, well, an audiowave – how’s that for a good omen? Auspicious days these are indeed for Shively Acoustics International as we look ahead, confident and hopeful, at what’s to come. . .
New Year, New Blog
While the month of January may bring images of snowy landscapes to mind for some of you, for Shively Acoustics International the start of every year means a trip out to the desert – to CES 2024 in Las Vegas, that is! . .

We will be the captain of the car, but no longer the driver; our seat will literally shift away from concentrating on the road, and our role will shift. The tactile sensation of the road will be distant from us then. What is left to us? What can captivate us?
