Now available on CSR’s BlueCore-5 Multimedia platform25th April 2007, London: Sonaptic, the sound engineering experts for consumer devices, have successfully ported their Virtual Surround SystemTM to CSR’s BlueCore-5 Multimedia platform. This will enable unprecedented hi-fi quality audio playback with rich, warm and immersive audio on mobile Bluetooth devices.
Building upon the success of the BlueCore3 port, the SoundStage software portfolio offers an extended feature set delivering vastly improved audio quality and engrossing sound performance without the need to add additional hardware or more costly speakers.
Advanced psychoacoustic processing in the software creates virtual speakers placed around the user that envelop them in sound, placing them right in the middle of the content of their choice. This virtual surround experience can be delivered on standard Bluetooth audio devices running BlueCore5-Multimedia, and requires an exceptionally low memory and MIPs budget.
“With the current fever for mobile entertainment devices, consumers not only expect feature rich gadgets but a great sound experience as well,” comments David Monteith, CEO at Sonaptic. He continues, “By incorporating our cost effective software, manufacturers can deliver superb audio quality, vastly improving the consumer experience and increasing demand for great content.”
Glenn Collinson, Sales Director and Co-Founder of CSR adds, “This is a great addition to the BlueCore5 platform, enhancing mobile multimedia performance for device manufacturers and consumers alike.”
Demonstrating Sonaptics’ rich heritage in developing advanced audio solutions, over 30 million mobile phones worldwide currently benefit from Sonaptic technology. The software is available as a modular solution that can be quickly and easily tailored to individual devices.
With increasing numbers of consumers using mobile phones to stream music, Soundstage is perfectly positioned to enhance the audio experience on mobile Bluetooth devices including Bluetooth docking stations, portable speaker systems and wearable technologies such as headphones and headsets.
