CSR boosts multimedia Bluetooth offering with virtual surround sound

CSR announced it has added Sonaptic’s SoundStage Virtual Surround System to its BlueCore5-Multimedia Bluetooth technology to provide users with an improved hi-fi stereo audio experience. Mobile Bluetooth products will now be able to benefit from a richer and more engrossing stereo audio performance.

Sonaptic uses advanced psychoacoustic processing in its software that creates virtual speakers to ‘place‘ the user right in the middle of the sound. This virtual surround experience can be delivered on standard Bluetooth audio devices running BlueCore5-Mulitimedia, and requires an exceptionally low memory and uses very little processing power making it ideal for battery powered mobile devices.
Due to a high performance 24-bit 64 MIPS on-chip DSP, CSR’s BlueCore5-Multimedia platform is the only Bluetooth platform available which can support a variety of third-party audio enhancement algorithms. In addition, BlueCore5-Multimedia provides superior sound quality with a best-in-class signal to noise ratio of -95dB. » read more »
