Main competitive solutions

• The market is looking for a total digital solution for years but Axign is at least 3 to 4 years ahead (confirmed by market contacts) Most providers of class D audio amplifiers with feedback loops have analog solutions. Examples are TI, ST, Cirrus and NXP.

• Merus Audio located in Kopenhagen can be seen as a similar startup like Axign but has a complete different approach for a different market segment

• Axign is considered as the only truly digital solution available in the market (quote by Arnold Knott, Associate Professor at Technical University of Denmark)
