Waves Audio / Realtek Integrated Circuit Rapidly Becoming the Standard for Leading Manufacturers in Consumer ElectronicsLAS VEGAS, Jan. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CES 2018 -- Waves Audio, a global leader in audio DSP technologies, announces the adoption of the WNX7000 – its first ever integrated circuit (IC) with Waves Nx Virtual Reality Audio capabilities embedded – by leading consumer electronics firms Acer and 1More. Waves co-developed the WNX7000 in partnership with Realtek Semiconductor Corp. (Taiwan Stock Exchange: 2379.TW), one of the world's leading network and multimedia IC providers. In February at Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona, Spain, Waves and Realtek unveiled groundbreaking technology to critical acclaim by attendees and journalists alike: the WNX7000 – a High-Definition Audio DSP embedded with Waves Nx technology built in. The WNX7000 combines Realtek's market-leading audio codec technology and Waves' professional audio algorithmic capabilities, making it the ideal solution for any manufacturer interested in developing headphones or headsets capable of providing immersive, virtual reality audio experiences for customers. The WNX7000 is designed to meet the evolving AR/VR needs of the consumer electronics market, bringing the virtual reality audio experience to end users over headphones. WNX7000 is a complete Low Power DSP & Codec Hub audio solution with an integrated headphone amplifier. The high-quality components provided by Realtek, coupled with Waves' state-of-the-art Nx virtual audio processor, will enable any device to faithfully reproduce 5.1 and 7.1 surround and virtual-reality audio content over headphones, with increased intelligibility and reduced listening fatigue, enriching the end user's audio experience. Waves Nx on WNX7000 is an efficient, all-in-one solution that reduces the processing load on devices' main processors. "The adoption of our co-developed WNX7000 DSP by leading brands Acer and 1More further underscores their commitment to providing end users with a truly immersive audio experience," says Tomer Elbaz, EVP & GM, Consumer Electronics Division of Waves Audio. "WNX7000 is the ultimate top-tier audio performance enabler for any category of consumer audio devices. It is a turnkey solution for headphones, and any device using it will be capable of delivering the highest-quality 3D audio with head tracking. We're confident we'll be seeing many top-tier gaming and multimedia headphones built around this component in the very near future." "Realtek Audio DSP solutions enable exceptional audio systems with high-performance specification, yielding a high-quality listening experience," said Realtek Vice President and Spokesman Yee-Wei Huang. "When we partnered with Waves Audio to integrate their innovative VR audio capabilities on the new WNX7000 by leveraging our well-received Realtek audio DSP solutions, it quickly became clear that this would become a must-have feature on headphones."
