Israeli Company Sound Radix Wins Academy Award for Audio Technology Innovation

Israeli sound technology pioneer Sound Radix has been awarded the prestigious Academy Scientific and Technical Award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, recognizing its groundbreaking contribution to the film and television industries.

The Tel Aviv-based company, founded in 2010 by Nir Averbuch, Yair Chuchem, and Dan Raviv, developed the revolutionary tool Auto-Align Post 2, now a staple across major Hollywood studios including Disney, Warner Bros., and Netflix.

Auto-Align Post 2 addresses a longstanding industry challenge: the alignment and synchronization of multiple sound sources. In large-scale productions, different microphones often record the same sounds at slightly different times, causing timing discrepancies and degraded audio quality. Prior to Sound Radix’s innovation, correcting these issues required labor-intensive manual work.

With a single button press, Auto-Align Post 2 automatically identifies, calculates, and corrects timing mismatches between audio recordings, saving sound editors countless hours and delivering superior sound clarity. The technology’s seamless integration into post-production workflows has made it indispensable for top sound professionals worldwide.

“We thought if a thousand studios adopted our product, we’d have made it,” said co-founder and CEO Nir Averbuch. “We never imagined that our technology would fundamentally change how sound editors work across the globe. The Academy’s recognition is incredibly inspiring, and it pushes us to continue developing solutions that shape the future of sound technology.”

Sound Radix’s achievements reflect a broader trend: Israeli innovation’s expanding footprint in global entertainment. Beyond the Oscar, the company has already received an Emmy Award and several other international honors, solidifying its reputation as a world leader in sound processing technologies.

Their journey from a bold startup dream to a company shaping the future of cinema underscores Israel’s role as a global hub of creativity, technology, and vision.
