"In March 2025 we noted the creation of the Audio Institute at NYU, funded by Sony to the tune of $7.4 million. At that time there was not a physical space for the Institute; it was an interdisciplinary program studying advances in audio technology (equipped with Sony gear). Internships and scholarships were created around the Institute. The news today announces a new space - the Sony Audio Institute Studio - a modernization and expansion of the original facility."
"At a dedication ceremony, Steinhardt Professor of Music Business Larry Miller told the Washington Square News, "What we have done is raise the bar by building in new technology that will enable students to be even more powerful creators of immersive audio technology products." Beyond gleaming new tech, there is a cutting-edge aspect to the planned research, which includes exploration of machine listening, immersive audio, and music psychology and neuroscience."
NYU’s Audio Institute was created in March 2025 with $7.4 million in Sony funding and initially operated as an interdisciplinary program without a physical facility. The program was equipped with Sony gear and established internships and scholarships to support student engagement. A new Sony Audio Institute Studio now modernizes and expands the original program with dedicated physical space and upgraded technology. The upgraded facilities are intended to enable students to develop immersive audio technology products more effectively. Planned research in the Studio will focus on machine listening, immersive audio formats, and the intersections of music psychology and neuroscience.
