Our Mission
To build cutting-edge interactive audio solutions that inspire people to create products which take the immersive experience of audio to new heights.

Our History
Audiokinetic was founded in 2000 by Martin H. Klein. Klein, working with a group of dedicated veterans and experts from the music, film, and gaming industries, set out to develop Wwise®, the integrated audio authoring middleware. Their goal was to help audio programmers and sound designers provide truly immersive gaming experiences.

Wwise features a revolutionary workflow and puts increased power in the hands of audio creators. After its launch in 2006, Wwise quickly became the industry standard and, with it, Audiokinetic established itself as a leader in innovation and technology solutions for the interactive media and gaming industries.

Building on their success, Audiokinetic introduced other innovative solutions, including SoundSeed and Wwise Motion. Now, with a full line of revolutionary tools, Audiokinetic is the only company to offer game developers a complete audio pipeline solution.

Our Philosophy
We believe that, by supporting active participation throughout the company, we will advance Audiokinetic’s core values of integrity, intellectual rigor, adaptability and innovation.

Audiokinetic was founded by innovators and educators in audio production. From the beginning, our work has been guided by determination and strategic execution, a belief in our ability to produce technological excellence, and an understanding that, by acting as a cohesive group, we can transform the gaming industry. These founding principles continue to direct every aspect of our work today.
