What Dirigent Acoustics does

Dirigent Acoustics is a Serbian acoustic engineering and audio technology company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Belgrade. It provides acoustic consulting, noise control engineering, audio system design, and acoustic measurement services to government, broadcasting, aviation, hospitality, and industrial clients across the Western Balkans. The company operates with a lean team of approximately six employees, combining hands-on consulting with proprietary product development and exclusive regional distribution partnerships.

The company's core product portfolio includes the D Series network audio system, the aSTAMIN acoustic measurement system, KSI acoustic simulation software, graphene-based MEMS microphones, and AI-based acoustic detection sensors. Technical capabilities span sound system design, room acoustics simulation, environmental noise mapping, and advanced signal processing including beamforming algorithms for long-range acoustic detection (demonstrated up to 20 km) developed under the EU-funded BorderUAS Horizon 2020 project for drone, speech, and wildlife classification. The company holds ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation for its calibration laboratory.

The business model blends three revenue streams: project-based acoustic consulting and engineering services, proprietary product sales (notably the D Series and aSTAMIN), and distribution/agency partnerships with international audio and environmental technology manufacturers (Turtle AV, Amadeus Acoustics, Microtech Gefell, Airly). The company scales technical delivery through certified training programs (Dante, SoundPLAN) and the CEO's role as Serbia's National Focal Point for the European Environment Agency's noise activities, which channels regulatory and institutional work.
