Audio Engineer Expert Witnesses

An audio engineer expert witness is an individual who has vast knowledge about the techniques, tools, hardware, and software used to record and mix sound. An audio engineer is typically called upon to help assess legal disputes related to patent infringement or breach of contract proceedings that pertain to the design or usage of audio products. Audio engineers are expected to provide testimony in court as an expert witness on these matters. Audio engineering involves a variety of skills and specialized knowledge in order for an individual be considered a competent expert witness in this field. An audio engineer must have experience with signal processing equipment such as mixing consoles, multitrack digital recording devices, outboard hardware processors (equalizers, compressors), microphone selection and placement techniques, acoustic treatments (soundproofing), reverberation devices & sound style effects units, acoustical measurement systems(such as Nearfield measurement systems), among many other things; concepts related to frequency response measurements and Equal Loudness Contours should also be part of this expertise. A good understanding of psychoacoustics is important too; relating the way humans perceive sound differing in frequency content & their thresholds for hearing fluctuations in amplitude - important components contributing to perception of overall sound quality. Having both academic qualifications coupled with years working professionally provides powerful credentials when selecting an Audio Engineering Expert Witness for your case - especially when they have extensive litigation support experience as well; having already provided technical input on numerous occasions will ensure confidence that even sparse details pertaining directly towards your specific requirements can be quickly evaluated - resulting optimization based solutions then proposed accordingly ensuring desired objectives will be met within statutory time limits imposed by involved parties.
