Designers of audio systems can now obtain a fully certified, Bluetooth 5 compatible SoC from Microchip Technology's IS2064GM-0L3, which features Sony's LDAC audio codec technology. SoCs enable manufacturers to produce next-generation audio devices with advanced codecs, expanding high-definition audio from enthusiasts to mass-market Bluetooth wireless products. Audeze has implemented the SoC in its high-end Mobius gaming headset.
The company's headset uses Microchip's IS2064GM-0L3 SoC for Bluetooth wireless connectivity supporting LDAC and other audio codec interfaces. Sony's LDAC is one of the highest quality audio codecs currently available. It can transmit data throughput up to 990kbps, which is three times that of a standard Bluetooth subband codec, and it can maintain frequencies and bit depths up to 96kHz / 24bit. High compression and reproduction efficiency provides a high-resolution audio listening experience for Bluetooth audio devices.
"Our new Mobius headset has many breakthrough technologies. To ensure high-quality Bluetooth audio, we implemented Microchip's IS2064GM-0L3 SoC in the headset," said Sankar Thiagasamudram, CEO of Audeze. "Thanks to the excellent support from Microchip, we were able to quickly and easily integrate the LDAC codec into our products."
"Microchip enables OEMs to meet the growing consumer demand for high-quality audio through the convenience and universality of Bluetooth wireless technology," said Steve Caldwell, vice president of Microchip's Wireless Solutions Division. "OEMs can focus on their audio products and Sound quality, and know that with Microchip, Bluetooth wireless integration will be seamless. "
