SANTA CLARA, Calif.-Zeevo announced a new reference design using Wolfson audio CODECs that will allow original device manufacturers to design wireless stereo headsets, speakers or wireless MP3 players with CD-quality sound.
The reference design is based on the ZV4301 Zeevo Bluetooth ARM-7-based microcontroller chip to process and transmit stereo data via Bluetooth and Wolfson’s audio CODECs to perform audio coding and decoding, digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversions, and filtering.
“This is a real breakthrough for device manufacturers,” said Jalil Shaikh, president and chief executive officer of Zeevo. “Wireless audio in personal entertainment products has not previously been offered, because of an inability to meet the consumer’s expectations for quality. Wolfson has solved the problem on the audio CODEC side, and we have solved that on the wireless side. What we are assuring is that the consumer will have an uncompromising, CD-quality audio experience, and that wires to headsets and speakers will become a thing of the past.”
