Echo Korea's president, Young Hun Jeon, says the market for test and measurement equipment in Korea is growing, thanks to new applications such as broadcast digital equipment, Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) and digital related products.
Prism Sound's compact and cost effective dScope Series III audio test and measurement tool is ideally suited to the needs of these developers because it allows for the high precision generation and analysis of analogue and digital audio and delivers the functionality and precision needed for testing the latest audio technology.
"Currently, Audio Precision has over 80% of the audio test and measurement market in Korea and until now there has been no competition for their products," Young Hun Jeon says. "There have been other companies offering test equipment but it hasn't been based on PC operation, which is how most customers in Korea prefer to work. The Prism Sound dScope allows us to offer a viable alternative because it is PC-based and can easily compete with an AP unit in terms of capability and price. From the demonstrations we have already conducted with our customers, we know there is enormous potential for the dScope in Korea and plenty of interest in its capability and price structure."
This interest has already resulted in Echo's first dScope sale - to Neo Fidelity Inc, a company that develops chips for the digital amplifiers used in mobile phones, digital televisions and wireless amplifiers and speakers.
