AudioLux Audio Visualizer

AudioLux is an open-source product developed by Portland-based company CymaSpace that visualizes music on to LED strips, enabling the deaf and hard of hearing to participate in musical events. The AudioLux is a pre-existing multidisciplinary project. Our group added an amplification circuit, a mono mix circuit, and audio filtering to improve the performance of the audio analysis used to drive the LED strip. We have also made the product design simple enough for the average electronics hobbyist to be able to make one themselves. This aspect of the project is part of our commitment to make music more accessible to all, honoring CymaSpace’s mission. Our biggest accomplishment has been reorganizing our PCB to make it easy to assemble. This required careful planning to choose components that are easy to handle and to determine how much space was needed between components. One future area of improvement would be improved audio filtering. The current bandpass filter could be further worked on to reduce the noise level even further.
