LSB Audio specializes in consulting and contract development of custom audio signal processing algorithms and systems. We work together with clients to design fully customized algorithms (based on new and/or existing IP). We also work on a variety of projects ranging from research & development to implementation and testing.
Our firm of Audio DSP consultants designs and
implements digital audio solutions for
hi-fidelity, consumer, low-power, and wireless
applications.
We offer services in Custom IP and Algorithm Development, Embedded Firmware
Development, and Audio Quality Evaluation.
See Services for more
information.
Our consulting firm consists of a diverse team
of Audio Engineers with a variety of digital
audio experience. This allows our single
firm to provide you with a range of services
without the hassle of managing multiple
consulting partners. Our contract will be
simplified by appointment of a single
point-source team member.
Our core team consists of only a few members,
but our research and development team can be
enhanced by utilizing a distributed team of
independent experts throughout the industry,
with our client's consent. Some of our
most active core
team members include the following:
 Jon
Boley first became interested in audio in high
school and was soon mixing front of house for a
number of groups. Originally interested in sound
effects, he quickly became interested in
auditory illusions and psychoacoustics. Jon took
a class in electronic equipment repair and found
a job assembling and repairing electronics
before going to college. He earned a B.S. in
Electrical Engineering from the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, then went on to
earn an M.S. in Music Engineering from the
University of Miami. Meanwhile, he held a number
of internship positions at Motorola and Shure,
progressively doing more and more audio
algorithm development. After finishing his
Masters degree and working at Shure full-time
for a couple years, he ventured out on his own
to pursue his passion.
Jon is passionate about understanding audio
perception, in terms of both psychoacoustics and
the underlying physiology. He currently divides
his time between his PhD research (neural coding
in the auditory system) and algorithm
development with LSB Audio. His interests
include development of various algorithms that
measure and/or improve auditory perception. He
also has extensive experience designing and
analyzing listening experiments.

 Chris
Santoro first became interested in music in
elementary school by participating in string
orchestra. From elementary through high school,
he played a variety of string instruments:
violin, cello, double bass, and guitar. Seeing
an innate connection between music, mathematics,
and computers led him to pursue a B.S. in
Computer Engineering at the University of
Florida (2007).
During the last few years of
college, Chris gained vital experience and
expertise in digital signal processing (DSP)
research by working as a DSP Engineer at the
Electronic Communications Laboratory, where he
developed real-time statistical signal
classification algorithms for embedded military
radar applications. After
undergrad, Chris narrowed his focus to audio DSP
and is currently pursuing an M.S. in Music
Engineering Technology at the University of
Miami. While at Miami, his research interests
have included Virtual Analog Synthesis and Music
Information Retrieval. His current thesis work
explores the effect of perceptual coding on
multiple fundamental estimation algorithms. In
addition to being in school, Chris has
successfully completed numerous projects as an
independent contractor for startup audio
companies in South Florida, and completed an
internship at Shure. His experience as a
successful, results-driven independent
contractor led him to form LSB Audio with colleagues from the Music Engineering program at
Miami. He currently splits his time between
thesis work, teaching undergraduate music
engineering courses at Miami, and developing
audio algorithms with LSB Audio.
